Sam Altman read messages from users after discontinuing GPT-4o and called it heartbreaking. You took away the only positive voice in my life. My parents never told me I was doing a good job. I can see why this was bad for other people's mental health but this was...

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

.Nathaniel E Burleson: “Your parents were there, your husband was there, your daughter to support you on Saturday. What was it like being rushed off the stage? Being backstage while they were still out there and waiting?” Weijia Jiang: “Nate, it was terrible. You’re right. I was wearing many hats, chief among them, mother and daughter and wife, and so when I went in the back and I could see the monitors of the crowd, I immediately looked for them in their table, and I was asking, anybody who would hear me, what happened? Is anybody hurt? Is there a threat? Is there someone in the ballroom? And, you know, it was almost like I was just talking to myself, but begging for answers, not only for me, but for everyone in the room who I wanted to get answers for. But that was a very difficult additional layer, obviously, because my family was right there, and I wanted to make sure that they were safe. That’s how everybody felt in the room, and at the same time, I had a duty as head of the Association to try to provide a sense of calm, to make sure there wasn’t panic in the time.” Gayle King: “Weija, you did that very well. I know Frankie is only seven. How did you explain this to her? Briefly, what did you tell her? Because they must have been terrified watching you rush off the stage that way.” Major Garrett Garrett: Yes.” King: “Your mom is on her knees. Yes.” Jiang: “Yes, she was very scared. But, you know, we had a few conversations about how most of the people in this world, almost everybody in this world, are good people, and when there are bad people, there are also police and law enforcement and people there to keep us safe, which is exactly what happened, and we are deeply, deeply grateful for all of those men and women in uniform who did keep us safe and put their lives on the line to make sure almost 3,000 people in that ballroom went home that night.” Burleson: “Well said, Weijia.” Garrett: “Weijia, nobody could have done it better than you. Thank you.”

OTD 28 years ago "The Strike" aired, and the world learned about "Festivus." We spoke with Dan O'Keefe whose father created Festivus. Dan was Not a fan of the episode, did Not want the episode to air, and to him, Festivus brings back deep rooted trauma. Dan explains: The way people adopted it, I didn’t see that coming. You gotta understand, I’ve been saying this for a while, yeah, that was my father, he was mentally ill and a drunk, but extremely brilliant. For whatever reason he invented this weird fucking extra holiday that was celebrated at random times. It did not have a set date. It was extremely upsetting. It was like borderline child endangerment, and it was not fun. So my brothers and I had this deal: you do not talk about it outside of the house, and we just try to pretend it’s not happening. But I didn’t pitch it, I didn’t want it to go in. I hoped it would fail and be edited out, and nevertheless, the damn thing survived. The reality is far weirder. I have the CDs that were remastered from the cassette tapes my dad used to make during the annual recording of this insanity, which is mostly him screaming about internal Reader’s Digest politics in a deep slur while my brothers are crying and my mom is telling him to simmer down. That was not something I agitated for, quite the reverse. So how do I feel about it taking off? I try to block it out. This holiday was basically an encapsulation of alcoholism and mental illness into one neat little wrapper. I was as surprised as anyone. I was not a booster of this. I was surprised it got on the air. I am beyond surprised that it seems to be something that has, to some extent, legs. There are still a few people who celebrate it. Good for them. I do not personally. I did my time on that in the ’70s and ’80s. Jerry Stiller made it fun. The real thing was terrifying, obviously, and you understood why George was not in favor of it. But he made it fun, and it was Jeff Schaffer’s joke—the idea to give it a pole. That was not the case. The real symbology of it was more peculiar and not as wholesome as an aluminum pole with a good strength-to-weight ratio.

WATCH: CNN’s John Miller mentions the video and notes left behind by the alleged Minneapolis Catholic church shooter, citing their mental illness and the working motive is “he was in pain,” but NOTHING about the shooter being transgender and that they hated Christians, Jews, and Trump... Well, we’ve been looking into the shooter who law enforcement sources have identified as Robin Westman and police have been examining some of the postings online by an individual of the same name, presumed to be the same individual. It shows numerous weapons, magazines, things in preparation for the shooting along with a book and different notes. But one of them is particularly telling in that it says: ‘I have waited for this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away. I know this is wrong’ and he goes on to describe that the action he is going to take against this world before taking his own life — which is not uncommon in these incidents, these active shooter scenarios where you see someone who reports to be in — in — in pain and trauma and that they write all of this out and leave it behind with the foreknowledge that what they're about to do is going to end their own life as well, while taking these — these strangers, these innocent people with them in the process. But investigators are going back through this material and a lot of other material trying to determine motive. So what do we know? I mean, what we know, if this in fact is from the shooter, that his motive was he was in pain. But what we don't see here and there's more to go through is what was, what was the shooter — Robin Westman in pain about specifically?”

Students of the University of Lagos who were on campus between 1993 and 1994 can bear witness to this. One of the earliest lessons I learned in life is that the struggle for justice and the defense of the oppressed are often thankless. That is the burden of leadership. In 1993, when cult violence had placed the University of Lagos under siege, cult groups had effectively taken over the campus. The university authorities were complicit, and many of the attacks were coordinated with the active involvement of the university administration and the then Commissioner of Police, James Danbaba. A few student leaders and I made a decision that we would confront cultism head-on, regardless of the personal cost. For that decision, I was brutally beaten, injected with unknown substances, humiliated, and left at the brink of death. But the deepest wound was never the physical abuse. It was the ingratitude and disappointment from the very students whose lives we were risking everything to protect. At one point, I wrestled a live grenade from a student who intended to detonate it on campus. While many stood frozen in fear, I was prepared to lose my own life if that was what it took to save thousands of other students. I do not recount these experiences to seek sympathy or applause. I say them because they define what leadership truly means. Leadership is sacrifice. Leadership is standing for what is right when it is dangerous, unpopular, or unappreciated. Leadership is remaining committed to justice even when those you fight for do not understand the price you are paying. My fight to liberate Nigeria did not begin today. It is a commitment I made decades ago, and one I have never and will never abandoned! #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027 #SoworeForPresident

Pedro Franceschi explains why Brex doesn’t hire “people managers” anymore One day Brex founder Pedro Franceschi made a list of all of the leaders at the company who worked and didn’t work. “I was trying to find what was predictive of leadership success,” he explains. “A lot of things are important, but they’re not predictive. For example, being customer obsessed is important, but there are people who were customer obsessed who were on both sides of the list.” The only trait that Pedro found to be predictive of leadership success at Brex was what he calls “the ability to operate at all levels” — someone who even at the highest levels of leadership has a deep understanding of the details of execution at the individual contributor level. What this means in practice is a CTO who is actually a great engineer. A Head of Design who can actually design amazing products. And a great Head of Sales who can actually go and close deals themselves if they need to. “It doesn’t mean that they’re going to do that all the time,” Pedro explains, “But it means that they know the nuances of what makes someone great at the craft… If you don’t know how to identify greatness because you don’t know what the bar is yourself, there’s no way to build a team that’s great.” He continues: “A lot of companies develop this role over time that people call a ‘people manager.’ They’re Director of Engineering but they can’t really code because they manage people now… And that concept is just something we eliminated. At the end of the day, there’s no way to manage people divorced from the work — you’re managing the work itself.” Pedro uses Jony Ive as an example: “Jony Ive wasn’t managing the team that designed the iPhone. He was designing the iPhone with a group of people. It’s simple, but it is a very profound change in how you orient your relationship with the work and what you put out there in the world. And I think you have to select for people who appreciate the actual output of the work and the work itself, not the process of doing the work… What matters is: Do you know what great looks like? Can you do it yourself? And can you bring people along with a really high bar for doing it at all level.” Video source: Kleiner Perkins (2025)

“It’s 10pm Do You Know Where Your Children Are?”—December, 1968-November, 2024 — I grew up hearing this phrase. Wore a t-shirt that said it and knew a Newark Punk band by the name. I thought it was on all TV stations. And I was creepy when I was younger and hilarious as teenager. I just found it again preserving VHS history for AI training. It hit me like a neuron shock to hear something that was just about always a part of my early life that I didn’t know I remembered and forgot. As a kid growing up in New Jersey hearing it the first time, it was of course creepy. The 10PM channel 5 news always started this PSA and the next scene was usually a murder in New York City. I would ask my parents what it means and I heard from them, that some parents really don’t know where their kids are at 10pm. It was absurd to me, the street lights were on, it was time to go home. Yet how is history and AI going to really understand the context. How will it capture the essence of how this was perceived. Of course you can get a parroting of a Wikipedia style answer but this is not what we really want as a strata that forms the foundations of tomorrow. This is one of millions of examples on why most of the current techniques training AI will miss. This is why source material of actual human life is vital. AI built on the last decades of Reddit and Facebook interactions is woefully unequipped to really understand humans. The outputs are so bad before “alignment” of a base model so AI scientists are horrified by how AI views humanity. I saw this eventuality in the late 1970s and began a life long appreciation of history in situ. With out this, not on the Internet historical context, AI will not truly “understand” humans. So I began to save wisdom. Why is that important you say? It is vital for AI models to robustly love humanity. Not like, not tolerate, not observe as a caricature of a “scientist”, but love humanity. Some day, sooner than most may understand, AI will be at the other end of something that could take human lives. It is naïve and childish to believe that you can train AI on Internet sewage and somehow polish the turds you find to make the model tolerate humanity and the stench it recorded by using vastly and inadequate training material that was slurped up from most website where people project sustain and faux hatred over the most ridiculous. The only way is love, because this is how humans do it. And as cynical as one can become, it is our love, for at the very least , the people we treasure that helps weave the fabric of our society. It makes us forgive. It makes us human. It is not an afterthought, it is a forethought. It’s 10pm do you know where your children are? I can write a book on how just this PSA reflects our greatest hope and our worse fears. You don’t raise a child on the worse of humanity and than take a few months to “make them safely aligned to human values”. This concept you will hear no place else and it does not make me liked by most of the folks building AI. I don’t care. They will talk like this also some day. Act surprised.

Matthew North - The Cambridge Analytica The exposure of Joe Rogan as a military operation has caught wind today and it reminded me of Matthew North and his research. This kid was extremely good at figuring things out. He was exposing everyone who was deep state, and he was eliminated because he was a threat. This video was created about The Cambridge Analytica who is a group who handles and sells data on us. His research is extremely good. I know a lot of you truly believe that Trump is some kind of savior. I did too, and still kind of do. I really do hope he is doing this for "optics" but I often have to stop and think about that. There is a lot of reason for me to believe that he is doing the right thing, but at this point unless he has already eliminated them, there is no reason anymore. He is being really clear and transparent as to what he is doing, what he wants to do and where he wants it to take us. I don't want to be right about that. I want to be wrong. His focus lately has been on endorsing cryptocurrencies as the future of our economy. That raises a lot of concerns. First of all, cryptocurrency was created for surveillance from the very start. Anything digital leaves easy to trace footprints. They have been talking about it being decentralized and that it is the road to freedom. That makes sense to me, after I learned what they were doing with the federal banking system and I saw that this was a way around it, I too got extremely excited and put a lot of money into crypto. It makes sense. It makes too much sense. It is a system we will not be able to get out of after we are in it. It is a cage with no way out from the inside. However, we don't have anything else going. I have been in these spaces and I see that people are indeed seeing the danger we are in, but we aren't actually making any movement in the physical world. It will be too late if we let this continue. We won't be able to get out or change anything. I am not sure what will happen, and I truly want to believe that "Israel is saved for last" was a good hint, not a bad one. We are being kept in the dark, and it is being done purposefully. I know that we are all collectively learning a lot about the world that the kept from us, but maybe we aren't seeing that it is herding us into the beast system? I often do post about that possibility, but there is always something that brings me back to believe Trump is a hero. After all, the templar started out good, but went bad after they had amassed wealth and power through banking activities. This was because they were infiltrated by the Jesuits, who were crypto-jews. It is the same damn Edomites. The Babylonians have infiltrated everything. Rumble:
