Awesome resource. His second periscope was even better! I transcribed his riff on "status elites" which was brilliant and should be shared widely.

I’ve been to the wet markets. Normal folks go there to buy fresh protein. It’s not wet markets. it’s trade in certain species of wildlife that needs banning.
It’s the same as my Chinese friends asking why US doesn’t just ban guns after every mass shooting. It’s nuanced.

What this ignores is the fracturing of the media culture due to mobile phones. The previous generation of immigrants had very little choice but to assimilate for economic reasons, now immigrants can sidestep the mainstream and remain in the same media echo chamber they were in

Surprising data from Germany shows ex-East German states where BCG vaccination at birth was mandatory see fewer per capital cases of C19.
Can discount “third-world” data but hard to explain German data considering open borders and better testing.

“money box” analogy describing venture is simply one of the greatest and simplest explanations I’ve ever heard. It might be exactly too on the nose.

Eisenhower very goated for starting interstate system
Few leaders can pivot from winning the war to winning the peace.
Napoleon & Alexander won wars but could not win the peace.
Leader most like this today has to be Kagame.

Remind me of the basest thing a politician has ever said : “whoever governs Singapore has to have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards. This is your life and mine.”
After the Neuralink, language evolved into an art form like painting after the invention of photography, towards more abstract expression. Word use declined, and eventually became a hobby reserved for the wealthy to entertaining guests.

I think many books explore this subject matter, Cervantes, Tolstoy, Homer’s Odyssey immediately come to mind. Many books are wasted on the young, revisit them in mid life and they spring to life.

Japan had little/ no choice when asked by the G7 to revalue the Yen higher at the Plaza Accord, this hurt its vital export sector & led to recession. They did QE, boom asset bubble in the late 80s and a crash and lost decades.

last night dug deep in their position: "masks don't help", "no need to wipe down packages, just wash hands", "can't do more tests- no supply."
They are making excuses for cupboards that are bare.

My favorite XJP story is from wikileaks U.S. diplomatic cable: women find him boring, and he's incorruptible and does not care about money, he likes the U.S.
On a serious note, I want to say thank you to the X team,

The field of knowledge is like a clearing in the forest of ignorance.
We gain knowledge by expanding the clearing but doing so we also expand our boundary w/ ignorance.
Hence the more we know the more we are aware of our own ignorance.

So for the final chapter in my book I've been reading a lot about technological progress and the future of humanity. And I came across Paul Ehrlich's "The Population Bomb". And holy shit, how profoundly evil is it to think that The Problem is that too many humans exist.
If you have ever been in the presence of a giant Sequoia, you will be amazed to know that it grows from a seed smaller than the size of a grain of rice.
