This is ten years old. Hahaha. It was kind of boring back then. But today it’s considered treasonous.

There is a particular stabbing pain those of us familiar with the Hollywood blacklist feel about the phrase “prematurely anti-fascist”. Let’s just say this dynamic has been in play for a fucking century.

If you were “prematurely anti fascist” about this you were a hysterical lib, if you were wrong about it you’re a respectable intellectual with lots of billionaire connections bsky.app/profile/gtco...

Delusions about expected returns cause money to flow from one set of people to another.... I guess bubbles might feel good if the money is coming to you. Kind of odd that a VC that invests other people's money would say this out loud.
