How Bryan Johnson went from being hated and ridiculed to building a positive and supportive community It took two years and ~500 1:1 interaction with people to override the caricature of him in the media Summary: > The first stage was unvarnished hate. They would say: “Bio hacker billionaire tech bro Prometheus Dorian Gray Patrick Bateman f*ckface.” > Then a curiosity phase: this actually is interesting, there’s some credibility behind this thing. > Then Ashlee Vance Netflix dropped and people were like, “Oh, he’s a human.” > Then I started being much more social…I met a lot of people and 99% of the time the person would say, “I thought you were a major a**hole. You’re actually a nice guy.” > It almost took me 500 1:1 interactions. All the media headlines said I was unhinged and narcissistic. People started talking to each other, saying he’s actually a nice guy. > Then in the past six months, it’s gone from that to meeting and hanging out with the most powerful people in the world. > Really wild to go from this to that in just a couple years’ time.

Gymskin was completely shocked after being shoved for the second time by an aggressive man, only to be called a victim afterward 😳🚨 “I’ve just been pushed by one guy, and you’re telling me not to push?” “You pushed me, you f***ing prick!” “Oh my days bro, I don’t need any of this. I’m a very positive person.” “Gymskin, you are a victim.” 💀 “You do realise you and your boys have been calling me foreskin and filming me? If it were the other way around, if you were with one of your mates and a cameraman, and I was with six guys calling you foreskin, do you think I’d do that? No, I wouldn’t. I’m a positive person.” 😭🥀

24 hours after I detailed the VP’s disturbing associations with Qatar (including, in some cases, relationships with people working explicitly on Qatar’s behalf), The Daily Caller, a publication majority-owned by Neil Patel, with Omeed Malik as an investor, ran a hit piece insinuating that me, an American citizen criticizing her own Vice President, amounts to “foreign interference.” But WAIT. It gets better. Included in their “evidence” is the fact that someone who bought one of the channels I work with, also bought a house on the same street as the Israeli prime minister. OH NO! Clearly, FOREIGN INFLUENCE. 😂 Imagine being so fragile that this is how you respond to journalists who criticize you. 😂 What a thin-skinned coward JD Vance and all his beta followers are. Thanks for revealing your true colors ✌️Daily Caller

America is so effing cool… and Americans are still like “wait… I feel guilty 😔” Bro… you just snatched a PRESIDENT out of his palace at 2am. That’s the most American thing I’ve ever heard 😂🇺🇸 And there is NO chance Maduro slept in full grey Nike Tech Fleece. He was in his underwear… …until Nike “partnered” with Delta Force and they said: “Put this on. We need the shot.” 💀 Regime change. Just do it. ✅🔥 Now the grey Tech is getting hunted like a limited drop. Which means Adidas is panicking somewhere like: “CALL IRAN. GET THE AYATOLLAH IN THE OG BLACK/WHITE TRACKSUIT ASAP. FULL THREE STRIPES.” 😭

Jon Bernthal says he accidentally punched a real criminal on set, during a fight scene on the set of ‘We Own This City’ and genuinely tried to knock him out on camera. “We’re out there shooting this scene, and these are all stunt guys that I used to f*** with on The Punisher. I know all these guys.” Then Bernthal spotted somebody unfamiliar charging at him. “Now there’s this guy running at me with these fing dreadlocks. I’m like, ‘Who’s this fing clown?’” “Sure enough, he just throws a f***ing right hand. I felt it cut my face.” Bernthal immediately swung back. “If he’s gonna take a swing at me, I’m gonna take a swing at him… so I just like wabow and I hit him with this right hand.” After the scene ended, the man walked up and hugged him. “He goes, ‘Yo dog, you a real one, man, you a real one.’” Then Bernthal noticed police officers chasing him before the guy suddenly ran off. “He just happened to be running by and was like, ‘Yo, I’m gonna go knock that motherf***er out on TV.’”

Woman was in Portland Oregon and told Antifa to stop burning the American Flag Antifa violently chased them, beat the guys she’s with using a tree branch, chased them to their car, broke all the windows in their car, broke his face open, blood everywhere, ambulance called and she has footage of it. (I included the footage in this video) “I just got back from the Portland protest.That sh*t ain't peaceful, bro. Oh my God. Uh, clips incoming, but they started burning the American flag. ANTIFA in Portland started burning the American flag. So I told them, I said, "Don't burn the American flag.” — They didn't like that! They got very pissed. They chased us. They surrounded us, dude. They surrounded us.“ “He got to his car and they smashed his f*cking windows in. There was glass everywhere. He was bleeding from the mouth — An ambulance was called. It was blood everywhere. It was glass everywhere” This is domestic terrorism. Americans are being brutally assaulted for trying to stand up to burning the American flag This only happens in Democrats cities

I understand some real Ukrainian soldiers participated in the filming of this movie. KILLHOUSE - “Inspired by the world's first drone-led rescue operation, this tactical action thriller was developed in cooperation with the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the Defence Intelligence (DIU). The story follows a desperate young couple attempting to retrieve their kidnapped 12-year-old daughter from the "gray zone" of occupied territory. After a risky deal with an ombudsman representative goes south, their vehicle comes under heavy fire in a deadly crossroads. Their only hope lies with a brilliant commander, SOVA, and his brother SID, an engineer with the 3rd Assault Brigade. What follows is a daring, high-tech rescue operation that captures the world's attention via a livestream by a renowned American journalist. Caught between an extraction team sent to save her and the life-or-death struggle of the Ukrainian families, the journalist must decide whether to flee or risk everything to uncover the truth of who she really is.”

RED, GRAY, AND BLUE The biggest mistake most commentators make today is talking about "the United States of America" as if it still exists as a unitary entity. In reality, it's the Disunited Tribes of North America. Different American tribes now have their own preferred influencers, foreign policies, genders, companies, counties, and even currencies. The only thing they don't yet fully have are their own countries. But the mass migration is already here between blue states and red, and the digital secession into separate social networks is already here too. It's blindingly obvious that the endless cloud strife is going to be printed out onto the land; all that awaits is formal American Partition. Until then, we are stuck in this bizarre twilight zone where people keep talking about "American policy." However, we know you can't talk about "Korean policy" without immediately clarifying whether you mean North Korea or South Korea. And so too you can't talk about "American policy" without clarifying whether you mean Blue America, Red America, Tech America, or one of their increasingly numerous sub-tribes. SILICON VALLEY VS PENTAGON Which brings us to the ongoing conflict between Silicon Valley AI companies and the Pentagon. This is just one of many conflicts between Network and State, and just one of several lose/lose scenarios between blue, red, and gray/tech that are playing out across the chessboard. But you can't understand what's going on without the tribal lens. Briefly: the center-left tech guys at Anthropic (along with many at OpenAI and Google) say they don't want their software to be used for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. They see themselves as protecting civil liberties. Meanwhile, the center-right tech guys in the US government do want AI to be used to defend their land, and resent the idea that every (potentially sensitive) military plan can be vetoed at will by a mere tech company. They see themselves as protecting national security. THE TRIBAL LENS This argument about principles breaks down because it's not really about principles, but about root control. The Anthropic employees trust their CEO to make judgments about what happens to user data. They don't trust these Pentagon MAGAs. And the Pentagon has exactly the opposite set of intuitions: they don't want these squishy wokes to be upstream of their military and their President. Fundamentally, the tech left doesn't want the tech right (let alone the full Republicans) to have root control over them, to be able to seize their companies or surveil them. And the tech right doesn't want the tech left (let alone the full Democrats) to have root control over them, to be able to veto their military plans or impede their presidency. All this is against the backdrop of many other raging conflicts, including Democrats vs Tech (via the wealth tax) and Tech vs Democrats (via AI disrupting blue jobs). The tech right thinks the tech left is dumb for not seeing that they're the one thing protecting them from getting taxed to death by Democrats, not to mention distilled by China. The tech left thinks the tech right is dumb for wanting to power up a surveillance state that may get handed over to Democrats...and thereby turned into China. Which brings us to China. THE CHINESE CHALLENGE Both tribes constantly invoke China as the outgroup. Obviously, China is building autonomous weapons. So if the American state doesn’t match what China is doing, it won't be militarily better than China! On the other hand, China is also doing domestic surveillance. So if the American state does match what China is doing, it’ll be no better than China! Both also have internal divisions on China. The tech left, including Anthropic, has used the China-vs-America framing to argue for AI funding. They're also mad about China distilling their models. So the tech left actually does have some real anti-China sentiment. Conversely, the tech right, including many in the administration, has used the China-surveilling-their-citizens argument to argue against censorship. They're also mad about Democrats abusing the state against them. So the tech right actually does have some real internal libertarian sentiment. (Note: the far left & far right oppose both tech and all military involvement abroad, for different reasons, so they aren't directly participating in this argument.) TAKING THE L Ultimately, however, none of this matters. On the present trajectory, the American state is simply not going to outcompete the Chinese state, because the American people are unable to cooperate for the greater good, and therefore a "United" States of America does not exist. The modern American is all about liberty (red), or protest (blue), or techno-capitalism (gray). That's all great stuff, but each is about individual rights, as opposed to the collective responsibility felt by the 1950s American. Meanwhile the Chinese are about harmony, the party, and techno-communism. They've developed a social contract where they're fine with fusing their nation, state, and network together into a giant Voltron. For China: their nationalists are their Republicans, their statists are their Democrats, and the technologists are their Silicon Valley. Of course they have their internal conflicts, but for now all of that has been quashed by the party. The result is that the Chinese have collectively built perhaps the most powerful manufacturing goliath that's ever existed on earth. And that Chinese nation/state/network fusion challenges the Republican belief in liberty, the Democrat faith in democracy, and the Technologist faith in founder-led capitalism. No mere appeal to principle is going to work against Chinese Voltron. It's like praying to Zeus against a nuke. You need a set of principles that actually generates collective power, power comparable to China. Or you need to capitulate. CAPITULATE, OR COOPERATE The Democrats (and the Western left more broadly) are actually the first to realize this, which is why Carney/Mamdani/Newsom/Walz and the like are just capitulating to the Chinese state. The Biden Democrats threw the kitchen sink at China, but the Chinese state won, and proved itself the stronger horse. So blues are now (implicitly) auditioning for a position as overseas bureaucrats in Xi's empire, as apparatchiks in Communist Canada and Chinese California. Tech and Reds haven't fully caught on to this. The Republicans still claim their military is stronger than the Chinese military, and Silicon Valley still thinks their tech is better than Chinese tech. They point to the few areas where they still have an edge, while trying to ignore the enormous scale and speed advantages China has (especially in the physical world). You might think the mass-produced, back-flipping Unitree kung-fu Chinese humanoids would be enough to disabuse both red and tech of their illusions here. But a demo is probably not enough; we may all actually need to see the Chinese drone armada in action to mark the world to market. Perhaps it gets debuted in Ukraine, Iran, or some other proxy war. As Orwell put it, "sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” I do hope my friends on left and right learn to cooperate before that happens. I am extremely skeptical that they will.

The tech right thinks the tech left is dumb for not seeing that they're the one thing protecting them from getting taxed to death by Democrats, not to mention distilled by China. The tech left thinks the tech right is dumb for wanting to power up a surveillance state that may get handed over to Democrats...and thereby turned into China. Which brings us to China. THE CHINESE CHALLENGE Both tribes constantly invoke China as the outgroup. Obviously, China is building autonomous weapons. So if the American state doesn’t match what China is doing, it won't be militarily better than China! On the other hand, China is also doing domestic surveillance. So if the American state does match what China is doing, it’ll be no better than China! Both also have internal divisions on China. The tech left, including Anthropic, has used the China-vs-America framing to argue for AI funding. They're also mad about China distilling their models. So the tech left actually does have some real anti-China sentiment. Conversely, the tech right, including many in the administration, has used the China-surveilling-their-citizens argument to argue against censorship. They're also mad about Democrats abusing the state against them. So the tech right actually does have some real internal libertarian sentiment. (Note: the far left & far right oppose both tech and all military involvement abroad, for different reasons, so they aren't directly participating in this argument.) TAKING THE L Ultimately, however, none of this matters. On the present trajectory, the American state is simply not going to outcompete the Chinese state, because the American people are unable to cooperate for the greater good, and therefore a "United" States of America does not exist. The modern American is all about liberty (red), or protest (blue), or techno-capitalism (gray). That's all great stuff, but each is about individual rights, as opposed to the collective responsibility felt by the 1950s American. Meanwhile the Chinese are about harmony, the party, and techno-communism. They've developed a social contract where they're fine with fusing their nation, state, and network together into a giant Voltron. For China: their nationalists are their Republicans, their statists are their Democrats, and the technologists are their Silicon Valley. Of course they have their internal conflicts, but for now all of that has been quashed by the party. The result is that the Chinese have collectively built perhaps the most powerful manufacturing goliath that's ever existed on earth. And that Chinese nation/state/network fusion challenges the Republican belief in liberty, the Democrat faith in democracy, and the Technologist faith in founder-led capitalism. No mere appeal to principle is going to work against Chinese Voltron. It's like praying to Zeus against a nuke. You need a set of principles that actually generates collective power, power comparable to China. Or you need to capitulate. CAPITULATE, OR COOPERATE The Democrats (and the Western left more broadly) are actually the first to realize this, which is why Carney/Mamdani/Newsom/Walz and the like are just capitulating to the Chinese state. The Biden Democrats threw the kitchen sink at China, but the Chinese state won, and proved itself the stronger horse. So blues are now (implicitly) auditioning for a position as overseas bureaucrats in Xi's empire, as apparatchiks in Communist Canada and Chinese California. Tech and Reds haven't fully caught on to this. The Republicans still claim their military is stronger than the Chinese military, and Silicon Valley still thinks their tech is better than Chinese tech. They point to the few areas where they still have an edge, while trying to ignore the enormous scale and speed advantages China has (especially in the physical world). You might think the mass-produced, back-flipping Unitree kung-fu Chinese humanoids would be enough to disabuse both red and tech of their illusions here. But a demo is probably not enough; we may all actually need to see the Chinese drone armada in action to mark the world to market. Perhaps it gets debuted in Ukraine, Iran, or some other proxy war. As Orwell put it, "sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” I do hope my friends on left and right learn to cooperate before that happens. I am extremely skeptical that they will.

Ah ha! Here it is, ladies & gentlemen - the F-47! America's newest little toy! A sleek, shadowy nightmare dancing through the skies! A true masterpiece of mayhem, built to tip the scales of war in ways even I can appreciate! Oh, but this isn’t just any fighter jet... no, no, no! This is the crown jewel of the U.S. Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance initiative! A 6th-generation ghost with supersonic speeds, & stealth so sneaky it makes the Batman jealous... And get this: no vertical control surfaces! Ha! It just slices through the air, like a blade in the dark, designed to outmaneuver the big, bad threats lurking in the Indo-Pacific. You hear that, China? Your little stealth fighters? Your fancy missile systems? Poof - obsolete! But wait, it gets better! We're pulling out all the tricks for this one: digital engineering, hyper-efficient manufacturing, & a next-gen adaptive propulsion system that keeps this beast flying longer & faster. That’s right, fuel efficiency & performance all rolled into one devious little package! Oh, and here’s the kicker, this isn’t a solo act. No, no, no. The F-47 plays well with others. Enter the Collaborative Combat Aircraft drones, its loyal, mindless minions, expanding its reach & amplifies its chaos! A beautifully wicked shift in air combat strategy! A machine built for dominance, resilience, & the sheer joy of controlling the skies. The future of American pride & superiority is here, & we're grinning ear to ear.🃏👑🇺🇸

Ricky Gervais Roasts Bob Geldof Live on BBC… Then Gets Hit With a Brutal Grammy Clapback Gervais was asked about going to the Grammys and casually replied that it was enough effort just getting dressed up for The One Show. He then turned to Bob Geldof and delivered the roast: “I usually get accused of being scruffy on telly, but I knew Bob was on, so the pressure’s off.” 😂 Bob didn’t hold back and fired back: “Hilarious hey? He’s a comedian. Grammy nominated, by the way. Some people on this couch have a Grammy already.” Ricky’s response: “Do you really? Oh… that is annoying. That is annoying. That is annoying.”

Iran downs second aircraft in just hours. Now it looks like an F-15 was taken out by a drone over Kuwait. I'm basing this on the video: the smoke plume from the launch is visible seconds after the hit, and the distance is a perfect match for Iranian air-to-air missiles fired from drones. We'll wait for proper OSINT breakdowns to confirm, but the geometry screams drone launch, not ground SAM or friendly fire at that range. If confirmed, this ramps up massive pressure on the US-Israel coalition, especially after the first American casualties were announced yesterday. I've said it here multiple times: attacking a country as vast and heavily armed as Iran isn't some quick "pop in, bomb a nation of 90 million, and pop out" mission. That fantasy doesn't exist. What happened in Venezuela doesn't apply here. (Ary)
