I've bored on before about my view that the hidden assumption of the Left is that economics is bad and nasty, therefore the worse and nastier you're being, the better economics you're doing.
The worst boss is always a squishy liberal acting how she thinks a hard nosed capitalist would.

Under-discussed (is that even possible on here?) is that Andreessen, Thiel, et al really REALLY want to be seen as grandiose “builders” in the real world and the total building they have done amounts to funding a bunch of scam SMR startups and failing to manage a mixed use real estate development.
There is a lot to hate about the politics of the silicon valley right, but they do actually want to build stuff, and I would prefer if the left didn't cede "we should be able to build stuff" to the right.

We have media systems that aim to provoke 'engagement' while people are primarily doing something else altogether, and provoke/reward feedback and communication over attention. Feel like 'attention' is like 'commodity', a fetish that needs treating with a little more suspicion

Always surprising to me that these people never think to check before shooting off their yaps. NYC was the main immigration center for the US for 2 centuries. It had more than 40% foreign-born residents from 1850-1900 and more than 35% for the next couple decades. www.nyc.gov/assets/plann...
