SITUATION EXPLAINED: is Universal Basic Income necessary? .Jordan Schachtel: "The history of technological progress has shown us one thing: quality of life, employment, and every metric that contributes to human flourishing improves." "Things might change, but preemptive UBI is insane. This is a multi-trillion dollar social welfare project, and... we don't even know for certain there's a problem that it needs to solve." "The history is indicative of what happens. In the early 1900s, 50% of Americans worked in agriculture. 30, 40 years later, people were doing dramatically different things." "They were employed in jobs that required less labor, but took home more effective pay and had better lives." "We can't predict what happens (similar to the internet era, etc). But regardless, the answer is never to institute a giant multi-trillion dollar government program."show more

“There are two crypto assets worth more than $100 billion: BTC and ETH. In many ways, Ethereum is in a unique position. Ethereum has had a lot of success. The problem is, it had that success five years ago… so the market is saying “you won round one, but what’s round two?” So internally, our prompt has been “what does it take for ETH to become a trillion dollar asset?” There aren’t many individual trillion dollar assets on earth, so what does it take for ETH to be a trillion dollar asset? For Ethlabs, that will be one of our north stars. We’d be a bit full of ourselves if we came out and said that we had the answer today; it’s going to be a huge project for the entire community. But Ethlabs can act as the bridge. We can be the entity that goes and talks to the people that want to take on that mission. Then we can go and talk to the people that help steward Ethereum and work together to make that outcome happen.” — ansgar.eth talks Ethlabs and a trillion dollar Ethereum on Bankless.

Today, war has become an unfortunate necessity for us in response to a certain situation. However, as a Nation and as a People we must always keep this quality about us that we are not ruled by hatred and we never take pleasure in violence towards anyone for any reason. At the same time, we have a duty and a Responsibility toward our own people to address certain situations and that is what the Nation is doing. This is not a war of hate but one of necessity. Let it remain so. -Sg

#WATCH | On announcing 25% tariff, plus a penalty on India, US President Donald Trump says, "...Prime Minister Modi is a friend of mine, but they don't do very much business in terms of business with us. They sell a lot to us, but we don't buy from them...Because the tariff is so high. They have one of the highest tariffs in the world now. They are willing to cut it very substantially. But we will see what happens...." He further says, "We are negotiating right now and it's also BRICS. BRICS, which is basically a group of countries that are anti the United States and India is a member of that...It is an attack on the dollar and we are not going to let anybody attack the dollar. So it's partially BRICS and it's partially trade...We had a tremendous deficit. Prime Minister Modi is a friend of mine, but they don't do very much business in terms of business with us.

Scott Jennings on the Trump administration’s handling of the U.S. economy: “What they did is not for short-term gain. It was for long-term reordering of the American economy. And if you talk to their people, Bessent and Hassett and the others, they believe what they did with the tariffs, what they did with the tax, that permanency and other tax cuts in the summer is going to lead to a boom in 2026.” “The January data suggest that they might be right. But there's other things going on here regarding what kind of jobs we have in America. One of the big things I look at in the chart today was, we have the lowest amount of federal government workforce since 1966.” “Yet private sector jobs going up, government jobs going down that was the purpose of what they were doing to grow the private sector to shrink jobs. I've been working in Republican politics for 26 years. Every Republican I've ever worked for said they were going to shrink the government. Trump's the only one that ever did it.” “We literally have the smallest federal workforce in '66 and as a percentage of the overall workforce, the smallest on record. I want more private sector. I want less government. So, if you're a Republican and you look at that, you're thinking, gosh, this guy's actually executing on what they always told us they were going to do.”

🇺🇸 ELON: THE WHY OF STARSHIP IS TO BE A MULTI-PLANET SPECIES "Yeah, so the why, it is always important to explain the why of things, and the why of Starship is that we want to be a multi-planet species to extend consciousness beyond Earth. I think for two main reasons. One is to ensure the long-term survival and prosperity of life and consciousness. If we are a multi-planet species and ultimately a multi-stellar species out there among the stars, the probability of survival is much longer. That is the defensive aspect, or life insurance for life collectively. But there also need to be things that are inspiring and exciting, that give you reason to live.” Source: SpaceX

$🔥NOW: RFK Jr. tells Dr. Drew how he plans to attack the epidemic of addiction in America: "In the 20-year Vietnam war, we lost 56,000 American kids. So we're losing almost double that every year from this disease. You'd think that the trillion dollars we put into that war and the daily preoccupation on the news, the nightly news coverage for 20 years the presidential elections that were fixated on it, and it's half the number of people that are effected every single year. Our communities are being torn apart. We need to give this the same priority. I'm very reluctant to dictate a government solution. What we found from touring, this is a small fraction of the places we actually visited. I wanted to see every place that's doing this right, and what we found is there's a tremendous diversity of approaches that are working very very well. One thing almost all of them have in common is that they don't have government support. And so I'm very reluctant to get the government involved in a way that is going to micromanage places like this. I want to make the government support them and that may be through land purchases and through those kinds of contracts but I don't want the government to be coming in and micromanaging. I think this has to be run by NGOs and we have to use a lot of different approaches. You know Franklin Roosevelt when he was launching the New Deal said 'We're going to try these programs and we're going try something one thing at a time and if it doesn't work we're going to abandon it and were going to try something else, but were always going to be trying something.' And all I can guarantee, I can't tell you right now that there's one solution or even a multiplicity of solutions but what I can tell you is that in my administration we're going to solve the problem because I'm going to focus on it. And if there are things that are working we're going to create ecosystems in which those kinds of solutions can proliferate.$

Arteta asked if the current team are better than the invincibles: “No, because Invincibles won a lot and they won consistently and they created a history and legacy and we have to do that. “Obviously there is a lot of stats, but in the last two or three years, as well, we had stats and more points and more goals and the history of that, but at the end we have to translate that into major trophies and what we want to do, and probably now what we are doing. “It would have been enough, but now it's not enough, and we have to make it the margins even bigger, and that's what we have to aim for.”

☝️“In one of the US laws that explicitly mentions Russia, the stated goal is to "democratize" the Russian Federation. Can you imagine us setting a goal in our own domestic legislation to "democratize" the United States? You know, that is at least impolite. But in principle, we could do it, and there are reasons for that. Everyone is well aware that twice in US history, a president has come to power who was elected by a majority of electors but had a minority of voters behind him. Is that democratic? No. Democracy is the power of the people, the power of the majority. How is it possible that a person is elected to the highest office in the state by a minority of voters? There is such a problem in the US Constitution. But we are not demanding that you change your Constitution, are we?” - President Putin.

We spend more than any other government in the history of the world has ever spent. We are so far in debt now that the interest on the debt is now, I believe last year it was $1.2 trillion. And it's going up. The interest on the debt is now overtaking the entire budget. If we balanced our budget tomorrow, we still run a trillion-dollar deficit every year just because we owe it on the interest on the debt. This is so obviously a crisis.

Jensen to AI Leaders: “We have to be far more thoughtful” when communicating to the public Jensen Huang: “(AI) is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious.

We understand a lot of things about this technology.” Chamath: “If you were in the seat in the boardroom of Anthropic over that whole scuttlebutt with the Department of War, what do you think you would've told Dario and that team to do, maybe, differently to try to change some of this outcome and some of this perception?” Jensen: “The first thing that I would say about Anthropic is, first of all, the technology is incredible. We are a large consumer of Anthropic technology.” “The desire to warn people about the capability of the technology is also really terrific.” “We just have to make sure that we understand that the world has a spectrum, and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too important to us.” “I think that it is fine to predict the future, but we need to be a little bit more circumspect. We need to have a little bit more humility, that, in fact, we can't completely predict the future.” “And to say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there's no evidence of it happening, could be more damaging than people think.” “And of course we are technology leaders.” “There was a time when nobody listened to us, but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter.” “And I think we have to be much more circumspect, we have to be more moderate, we have to be more balanced, we have to be far more thoughtful.”

Elon Musk just said what every government on earth already knows and none will admit. Musk: “AI is moving 10 times faster than government, maybe more.” Not slightly faster. Ten times. And the gap compounds daily. Every institution ever built runs on the same architecture. Committees. Hearings. Drafts. Amendments. Votes. A process designed for a world that moved at the speed of human debate. That world is gone. The moment legislation is signed, the thing it was written for is already three generations obsolete. Law is becoming a monument to things that no longer exist by the time the ink is dry. Musk: “The one thing that the government can do is just issue people money.” The largest militaries ever assembled. The most sophisticated legal infrastructure in human history. The accumulated weight of ten thousand years of institutional evolution. Collapsed to a single remaining function. Printing checks. Not because they failed. Because the velocity of what is coming makes everything else they were built to do ornamental. Musk: “Nobody’s gonna starve is what I’m saying.” The floor rises. Survival becomes automatic. Nobody goes hungry. For ten thousand years, that would have been the finish line. It is not. It is the starting line of the hardest question the species has ever faced. Every civilization in history was organized around one brutal fact. The world needed your labor to function. You worked because you had to. You built because the alternative was death. Every economy, every identity, every reason to get out of bed was downstream of that single pressure. That pressure is being quietly removed. And what it leaves behind is not freedom. It is a vacuum. A check hits your account. Rent is covered. Food is handled. The base layer of existence is solved. But the thing that organized your time. Gave your effort weight. Made your life feel like it pointed somewhere. Gone. No government can legislate that back. No policy can manufacture it. Purpose is not a deposit. Identity is not a program. What you are for when the world no longer needs you to function is not a problem any institution was designed to answer. It is the first problem in history that belongs entirely to you. And while the rest of the world debates how to control what is coming, one person is doing the only thing that has ever mattered. Building what comes next.

Every civilization in history was organized around one brutal fact. The world needed your labor to function. You worked because you had to. You built because the alternative was death. Every economy, every identity, every reason to get out of bed was downstream of that single pressure. That pressure is being quietly removed. And what it leaves behind is not freedom. It is a vacuum. A check hits your account. Rent is covered. Food is handled. The base layer of existence is solved. But the thing that organized your time. Gave your effort weight. Made your life feel like it pointed somewhere. Gone. No government can legislate that back. No policy can manufacture it. Purpose is not a deposit. Identity is not a program. What you are for when the world no longer needs you to function is not a problem any institution was designed to answer. It is the first problem in history that belongs entirely to you. And while the rest of the world debates how to control what is coming, one person is doing the only thing that has ever mattered. Building what comes next.
