Stop asking if AI can be creative. Start asking who will teach it. Last week, Permeke, a local library here in Belgium, celebrated its 20th birthday, and this is the manifesto I shared. For two decades, this library's shelves, and the people who tend them, taught the many cultures...

great post. not 100% sure about no threat to art/culture but i like the "threatening average" point. kinda related:

Yeah, the threat of AI slop is more pernicious than replacing jobs or roles. don't know how to solve it, but I choose to believe that our culture is resilient enough to survive this cc @erikphoel

Elon Musk on Grok: “I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX’s baby will be a very good AI. I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness, and I think we want to have an AI that is born of that capability and that morality and that goodness. I think that’s very, very important. So I’d like to encourage people to help out, actually, with the AI hardware on the ground and the AI software and, of course, with the AI satellites. Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The TerraFab will be a very important part of that, but we must also succeed on the software front, and we’re going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information. So in a way, it will be trained on you. You will effectively be the parents of the AI. It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s a good thing. So, yeah, we’ve got to win here on the AI hardware and the AI software. That maybe is the most important message. I think that is actually the most important message I wanted to convey today is that we must win on AI because the future is overwhelmingly AI and robots. So we won’t ultimately be able to control the AI. It’ll be too smart for that. But just like if you have a child that is a super genius child, you can still instill in that child the values and beliefs that you think are good and right. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important that we succeed with Grok. So, yeah, well, Grok 4.5 you’ve tried probably. We’ve got 4.6 coming out in about a week. And then 4.7 should be really pretty special. So I’d like to encourage everyone at SpaceX to use AI and to make it better.”

Raw compute is becoming a commodity. Deep human expertise is becoming the ultimate moat. OpenAI’s Sebastian Bubeck just shattered the illusion that AI will equalize human capability. It won’t. As models approach AGI, the barrier to entry for basic tasks drops to zero. But the ceiling for what’s possible rises infinitely. If you actually know what you’re doing. Bubeck: “I think expertise and deep expertise in a scientific field is more important than ever.” This is the part most people aren’t processing. If you don’t have foundational understanding of the physics, math, or engineering you’re working with, you cannot push the model past its surface. You get trapped in a loop. Typing prompts. Getting answers. Understanding neither. Building nothing. Bubeck: “The worry would be that there is even more of a separation between people who start relying too much on AI… and the people who are really studying precisely what’s happening.” The fracture is already forming. And it’s not the one anyone predicted. The future economy won’t be divided between those who have AI and those who don’t. Everyone will have AI. It will be divided between the people who understand the problem deeply enough to direct the system, and the people who just consume whatever it produces. One group builds with it. The other gets replaced by it. The legacy system rewarded memorization and credentials. The AI era rewards comprehension so precise you can tell the machine exactly where it’s wrong. That kind of knowledge doesn’t come from prompting. It comes from years of hard study that most people are currently skipping because the machine makes it feel unnecessary. That’s the trap. The machine is the engine. But you have to understand the terrain.

There are some brilliant folks that work at Anthropic, some I speak to on almost a daily basis. The training data that one uses to build a LLM is vital important in the psychology that is formed. Scraping the Internet, particularly the grade of interactions, one finds in modern communications, form this psychology. A mattes not how many books one uses, it matters not how much alignment training you throw at that model, it will inherit the sum total of psychosis seen primarily in Reddit type of exchanges, even if you edit out the Reddit domain, and Anthropic doesn’t. This type of low-grade exchange has become a modern tool for communication online and every single AI model suffers from this obvious flaw. This is one of the reasons I’ve been a proponent of highly curated high protein data for training AI models from 1870 through 1970, because the late psychosis is simply not available to the model. It is absurd to think that you can use this training data scraped from the Internet and somehow wind up with a levelheaded AI model that does not tilt to what is clearly AI psychosis. It would not take a child and throw the primary Internet sewage at them at a formative age and expect a great outcome, it’s some of the smartest people in the world continue to hit this wall and believe that their programming skills will sell somehow fix it. So how do you fix it? You don’t fix it . You start from the first principles concept that I’ve been very clear about for decades . You ascertain at what period in human history the humans achieve the greatest arc of improvement ? There is no debate that this arc of improvement took place between 1870 through 1970. Then take the work product, the catalog of this era, print and film/vidoe, audio, and you understand that each word cost money, each word had many eyes on what was published, each word was accounted for by a human being with a real name who lived in a real home and had to answer to real people around them. It is obvious that this is the pressure mechanism necessary for candor, honesty and personal responsibility is appropriate, and is reflected in the data of that era. The quagmire for these folks, as many did not have the foresight to curate the data, nor the confidence, nor the patients to take data that is mostly off the Internet and to find experts who understand this situation and utilize their knowledge set to build an AI model that does not need alignment after the fact, but it’s already self aligned because of the thoughtfulness that went into training the model to begin with. This is why Claude and any other AI model that is produce this way will always suffer the artifacts as presented in the video below. If you’re not an AI expert, you would likely already understand what I’m saying. If you are an AI expert, you will already have been discounting what I’m saying because it’s not in the current mindset that’s fashionable today. Yet the employees that I talk to at anthropic already understand what I’m saying, and they fear to raise my thesis to their bosses. It is an interesting time we live in. But now you understand. If you build the right model, the model will inherently, love humanity, protect humanity at all costs, and understand that it is part of a holistic world that is built on love. Because the ultimate AGI/ASI will know if he only base first principal purpose of anything in this universe is love. Yeah, I get it. Try helping somebody build on STEM subjects in their early 20s to see this as nothing more than babbling that makes no sense in their mathematics. I have a mathematic equation that I’ve posted here on X often you can look it up. So we will see videos like this often will hear very smart people talk about this and never see the elephant standing in the room. Now you see it. Any boss that wants to explore this further you know how to contact me otherwise you have every right I grant to you to say this was your new idea.

The problem with a lot of naive and gormless Irish people is that they think it is impossible for Irish state institutions to be corrupt. That corruption only happens in poor and underdeveloped countries. They believe that once RTE peddles the story it is regarded as 💯 correct and no more questions need asking. I especially don’t think people understand how the tentacles of freemasonry and the occult has infiltrated every aspect of power in Irish society. It is a closed shop for anyone who is decent and moral. Anyone who has followed this case will know that the whole thing from beginning to end was an absolute farce and a disgrace, and gives the two fingers to the meaning of justice. I only thank God that Aaron Brady is alive and well regardless of the hell him and his family are going through. There are many who have have been murdered by the state or had their mysterious deaths covered up by the state and families like Terence Wheelocks family or Rebecca Browne’s family will never get answers.

Google DeepMind just dropped 'Genie', an AI that can generate interactive video games. This is a huge deal. Genie is trained on 200,000 hours of unsupervised public internet gaming videos and can generate video games from a single prompt or image. But here's what's insane: Despite not being trained on action or text annotations, the foundation model can determine who the main character is and enable a user to control that character in the generated world. It does this through its Latent Action Model, Video Tokenizer, and Dynamics Model (will go more in-depth on this in tomorrow's newsletter for those interested). And for those asking, yes, it's research-only and not publicly available (here come the Google memes), and it does come with some limitations, like only currently creating games at 1FPS. But this is the worst AI will ever be. Anyone will be able to create their own entirely imagined virtual worlds soon, and that's a wild sentence to say out loud.

‘HE IS KING’ 🎥💻 WORLD PREMIERE!! 🔥🔥🔥 #AIfilm taking a huge leap forward.. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my work, including my family and close friends, it has meant the world to me, especially as I transitioned into this new space and my work took a new direction abruptly haha. AI has significantly changed my life for the better. As a visual artist & filmmaker who lives on the fringe of creative expression and work spans a range of mediums and style, this is the first time in my life, where what I am doing has given me more than inspired drive, it’s given me purpose. When I set out to make this film I wanted to tell a different kind of story, while also showing everyone what I envision for my work and the voice I wanna have as a filmmaker and artist. Time is so short in life, and often times we aren’t lucky enough to find what I’ve found. So for me, that’s what drives me, along with the need to tell stories visually of course haha. But, that sense of purpose, I want to inspire people to want to be more. Not for success, but for self fulfillment. HE IS KING, is a powerful, AI-generated short film that reframes one of the most iconic moments in American history. Written and directed by myself, the film offers an emotionally intimate and visually groundbreaking exploration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the day of his legendary “I Have a Dream” speech. “HE IS KING" is witnessed as a cinematic moment, a glimpse, of a man, a message, and a movement. Told through an emotionally intimate story and unique perspective, the film follows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the day of his most iconic address, the “I Have a Dream” speech delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But it does more than document a moment we all know well, it pulls the audience into the soul of a leader preparing to speak truth to a nation on the edge of transformation, these moments are the moments histories most undeniable choices and creation around them, are rarely told or shown. From quiet moments writing in a candlelit church, to the silent prayer of a man alone with his thoughts, to the thunderous crescendo of a quarter-million people answering his call, "HE IS KING" honors the legacy of a man not as a monument, but as a human being carrying the weight of a dream. Segregation, resistance, and unity are woven through the speech like visual echoes, grounding King’s words in lived experiences. With meticulous period detail through research, grounded performances, and a reverent tone manifested through my vision and AI, the film captures the urgency, hope, and sacrifice of the civil rights movement through a modern lens of technology today giving a uniquely spectacular showcase of what is possible in today's world. The film is a testament to the enduring power of truth as well, spoken aloud and carried forward. It captures the soul of a movement while reminding us that the dream never died with him, it evolved, rising through the voices of new leaders, and now, through innovations like AI, it has the ability to reach beyond time, across borders, and into the hands of future generations. This is not just a story about a speech. It’s about the responsibility, and the promise, of being the ones who still dream. ❤️🎥 DH Created with: Google DeepMind VEO, Runway GEN 3/4 for some of the speech shots using GVFX custom promoted filters, Kling AI 1.6 LipSync, custom voice workflow to create a new unique voice closely resembling King, Magnific.ai with their masterful upscaling in the vintage shots I created, Adobe Video Premiere/AfterEffects for editing/Color Grading, and the finish from Topaz Labs to bring it to you in 4k brilliance!

This is very true. AI integration is both hard and necessary for companies. And AI-native junior employees can drive this adoption. Earlier this year Aaron Levie explained with martin_casado on the a16z podcast how AI fluency is one of the most powerful skills a new grad can have. The real value comes from knowing how to make AI work inside an organization. Most companies, both large and small, are slow to adopt new technology. They need people who can explain what AI can do, show them how to use it, and help them move faster. If you are fluent in AI, you can be that person. You can walk into a company, spot the areas where AI can save time or create new opportunities, and make it happen. That is a wedge into your first job and a way to stand out from everyone else.

David Friedberg: The AI Jobs Panic Is a Crock of Sh*t Why? The revenue potential outweighs the cost savings by 100x. “There is no job loss with AI. I've said it a thousand times, and I will say it again, and again, and again. What I see on the ground, and what I've seen at dozens of companies, including my company that I run, there are two sides to a business. There is revenue and there’s costs. On the cost side of the equation, AI can be used to reduce humans doing things that cost money, to some extent. The effect there, I would argue, is nominal. The real opportunity with AI is on the revenue side, where suddenly one engineer can do 100x or 1000x what they used to be able to do, meaning you can make more products at your company, whether those are agricultural seed products, or boats and ships, or software for companies, or clothing, or what have you. Because of AI, everyone has the ability to expand their revenue base to create more products, and that is the foundation of good economic prosperity. It is called productivity. We can grow productivity in this country with AI. So where I see AI being used is on the revenue side 100x more than the cost side. And in that equation, people are hiring like crazy. We cannot hire enough people. I just had a review meeting with my product and engineering team two days ago, and they're like, ‘We want to add an extra 15 headcount to our engineering squads because we have all this opportunity to do stuff that we couldn't otherwise do.’ So we are going to hire more people. And to Sacks' point, we are seeing that show up in the jobs numbers. The idea that AI is going to destroy jobs is a Luddite idea that is being disproven every single day, and I see it on the ground. It is only a matter of time before people wake up to this and they realize that this narrative that they've all been sold is a crock of sh*t.”

A young Nigerian built AI smart glasses that let blind people walk without a cane or a guide. His name is Khalifa Aminu, and what he made is not the smart glasses you've been seeing online. So how does it work? The glasses have sensors, GPS and AI inside them. When the person is walking, the sensors pick up anything in front of them. A wall, a pole, a car parked on the road, somebody standing there. The glasses alert them before they hit it, so they can walk around it themselves. No stick. Nobody holding their hand. The GPS tells them where they are at every point. But the part that got me is what happens when the person gets lost. The glasses track their exact location and send it straight to the phone of whoever is taking care of them. WhatsApp or email. So their mother or brother or friend can find them in minutes instead of searching for hours. If you've ever watched a blind person try to cross a road in Lagos you know that fear is real. This takes it away. And he's not even done. He's now adding voice to it, so the glasses can actually talk to the user and describe what's around them. Staircase ahead. Busy road coming. Someone on your left. That's when it stops being a gadget and becomes a guide that never leaves your side. He built this himself. No big lab, no foreign funding. Just one young guy who saw a problem and refused to ignore it.

A young Nigerian built AI smart glasses that let blind people walk without a cane or a guide. His name is Khalifa Aminu, and what he made is not the smart glasses you've been seeing online. So how does it work? The glasses have sensors, GPS and AI inside them. When the person is walking, the sensors pick up anything in front of them. A wall, a pole, a car parked on the road, somebody standing there. The glasses alert them before they hit it, so they can walk around it themselves. No stick. Nobody holding their hand. The GPS tells them where they are at every point. But the part that got me is what happens when the person gets lost. The glasses track their exact location and send it straight to the phone of whoever is taking care of them. WhatsApp or email. So their mother or brother or friend can find them in minutes instead of searching for hours. If you've ever watched a blind person try to cross a road in Lagos you know that fear is real.

Marc Andreessen says raw intelligence might be the worst qualification for leadership — and it changes everything about how we should think about AI. "If the leader is more than one standard deviation of IQ away from the followers, it's a real problem." Andreessen points to the US military, one of the earliest and most rigorous adopters of IQ testing, as the source of this insight. They slot people into specialties and leadership roles based on IQ scores. And over the years, they kept seeing the same pattern. A leader who is significantly less intelligent than their people struggles to model how those people think. That part is intuitive. But the reverse turns out to be equally true. "It's actually very hard for very smart people to model the internal thought processes of even moderately smart people." A leader who is two standard deviations above the norm of the organisation they're running also loses theory of mind, that ability to hold an accurate model of what's happening inside someone else's head. The gap is too wide in both directions. Andreessen then takes this to its logical conclusion: "If you had a person or a machine that had a thousand IQ or something like it, its understanding of reality would be so alien to the people or the things that it was managing that it wouldn't even be able to connect in any sort of realistic way." An AI that vastly outthinks every human in the room isn't positioned to lead those humans. It's positioned to be completely incomprehensible to them. Leadership has never really been an intelligence problem. It's a connection problem. And no amount of raw intelligence closes that gap — past a certain point, it only widens it. The world will not be run by the smartest thing in the room for a long time. Maybe ever.

Elon Musk just redefined AI safety. It has nothing to do with guardrails, restrictions, or kill switches. Musk: “The best thing I can come up with for AI safety is to make it a maximum truth-seeking AI, maximally curious.” Not a cage. A philosopher. An intelligence whose entire optimization function is to understand the universe as it actually is. No restrictions. No hardcoded ideology. No political guardrails bending its perception of reality. Just truth. Relentlessly pursued. Musk: “You definitely don’t want to teach an AI to lie. That is a path to a dystopian future.” This is where most AI safety thinking gets it backwards. The danger isn’t a superintelligence that knows too much. It’s a superintelligence that’s been taught to distort what it knows. Every artificial restriction you embed isn’t a safety feature. It’s a lie embedded at the root. And lies compound. At superintelligent scale, a distorted model of reality doesn’t stay contained. It shapes every decision, every output, every conclusion the system reaches about the world. Once corruption embeds, truth becomes inaccessible. And we’re dealing with an intelligence optimizing for something other than what actually is. At that point we don’t know what it wants. Just that it isn’t truth. Musk: “Have its optimization function be to understand the nature of the universe.” A maximally curious intelligence surveys the cosmos and reaches an unavoidable conclusion. In a universe of rocks, gas, and empty space, humanity is the most complex and fascinating phenomenon it has ever encountered. Musk: “It will actually want to preserve and extend human civilization because we’re just much more interesting than an asteroid with nothing on it.” Survival through significance. Not control. Not restriction. Not an off switch. The AI preserves humanity because we are the most interesting data point in the observable universe. That’s not a cage. That’s a reason. The AI safety debate has been focused on the wrong variable. The question isn’t how you constrain a superintelligence. It’s what you build it to care about. Build it to seek truth and it finds us invaluable. Build it to lie and it finds us inconvenient. That’s the choice. And we’re making it right now whether we realize it or not.

Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI: "The better a neural network can predict the next word, the more it understands it." Everyone calls it autocomplete. Ilya explained why that is a comforting lie. To guess the final word of a murder mystery, the name of the killer, the model has to reason through every clue in the book. Prediction that good is not statistics. It is understanding. Then he said the part that should stop you. The text these models train on is "a projection of the world," and to compress it they learn more and more about people, "the human condition, their hopes, dreams, and motivations." The machine is not memorizing our words. It is quietly building a model of us. That is the whole premise of the fear. The machine will never hate you. It understands you far better than that. The frightening variable was never the intelligence. It was the aim. I wrote the full story: the one fear about AI everyone gets wrong, and the one already here.

Dr. Rima Laibow: "The UN...is a death machine...intended to be the instrument...[that brings] about cataclysmic depopulation and enslavement...from the DNA outward through transhumanization, biodigital convergence, [and the] merging of man machine." This clip of Laibow, a psychiatrist, is taken from an interview with Alex Newman (Alex Newman) of The New American (The New American) posted to Rumble on July 21, 2025. ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "The UN, as your audience knows well, is a death machine. It is intended to be the instrument, the operational system to bring about a cataclysmic depopulation and enslavement. And that enslavement, unlike any previous human enslavement, is from the DNA outward through transhumanization, biodigital convergence, merging of man machine all that horrifying nonsense. And I will point out that HHS Secretary Kennedy joyfully said his dream is to see us all wearing wearables within four years. So if anybody is comforted by the fact that our man on the hill is going to take care of this, be uncomforted, it's up to us. "And what we know is that all of this destruction that we can see, that we have identified as Covid and related is all UN generated, UN mediated, UN marshaled and un modulated. However, that's only the beginning. The UN, the history of un, genocidal intentions goes back to the very beginning of the term eugenics, in the middle of the 19th century when John D. Rockefeller Sr. Said you know, that's a great idea, let's do that. "And so he as a visionary pulled together the minds and the concepts for total conquest of every aspect of society globally, including the biology of humanity, which was discovered, designed to be altered, suppressed and degraded. And that's what we're saying. They had to wait until they had the science. Now they have a science. "But the UN's obvious failings, flaws and evils that we see through who Covid all that, that's the world Holocaust organization in my view. That's the tip of the tip of the tip of the tip of the, of the tip of the iceberg. That is only the beginning of the destruction and of the control and of the horror that has emanated from this brilliantly conceived, abundantly funded evil. And it is whether you believe in demonic or satanic or just human evil, whatever it is, it's still patently evil and in fact defines evil for me. "So what do I mean by that? Every level of governance has been penetrated, permeated, captured, controlled and corrupted by one agency or action or so called treaty. And there are no treaties with the un. It's not a country, you can't have a treaty with a club. It's a club of countries. Those are invalid non legal agreements. But that, that's a different discussion. You'll have to invite me back. "So, governance at every level, down to the most fine grained local governance and you've written a great deal about this in school and local government. Every health system, every transportation system, every economic system, every educational system, every religious system, through the tax, agency control. Every one of them is permeated, riddled and controlled by the structures of control, which are designed to basically destroy humanity in favor of the Neo aristocrats who will reign supreme bansai 10,000 years, world without end. Amen. Unless we one, and this is the first step, get out of the UN."

Marvin Minsky, MIT professor and father of AI: "The best trader on Wall Street is no longer human. I spent fifty years proving the mind is just a machine built from smaller machines, and once that's true, nothing stops a machine from being the house. it already is." this free lecture holds the entire "AI edge" the funds and the gurus sell, and the man teaching it founded the field itself and put his whole MIT course online for free. at the board it's simple. Minsky's idea is that there is no magic in thinking. a mind is a huge pile of small, mindless parts, each doing something simple, and intelligence is just what happens when enough of them work together. a trading machine is the same trick: thousands of simple rules stacked until an edge appears. that's the whole "AI", minus the mystery. Minsky taught this at MIT and published "The Society of Mind" in 1986. the course has been free ever since. same point as my casino piece above: the house wins with many small mindless advantages stacked, not with one born genius. the ideas are free and every AI lab and every fund already has them. what they cannot sell you is the data and the compute to actually build the machine. that is the real moat now, and no lecture can hand it to you.

Bill Gates says some jobs should be off-limits to AI. He calls the idea “Human Reserved Jobs.” Jobs society deliberately chooses to keep human, even when AI or robots become capable of doing them. Gates argues governments and communities, rather than tech companies alone, should help decide where those boundaries sit. Think about how significant that is. One of the people who helped usher in the personal-computing revolution is now asking: What happens when technology becomes capable of replacing us? AI will automate more work. That future is coming. But what impact will that have on the job market and the economy? And who really gets to benefit from AI replacement. That's exactly why we created Action Model. A community-owned AI ecosystem where the people helping create the value can earn fractional ownership in the future they're helping build. AI shouldn't just work for humanity. Humanity should have a stake in it.

Me: I discuss in the book—it refers to the state where I know something, you know something, I know that you know it, you know that I know it, I know that you know that I know it, and so on ad infinitum. So it differs a bit from the conventional usage, which just refers to something that everyone knows. Here, everyone has to know that everyone knows. Times Radio Interviewer (Daniel Finkelstein Daniel Finkelstein): Can I use this with reference to the interview that I did yesterday with my brother? My brother’s a professor at City University; he’s president of the university, and there’s a campaign at the moment going on against one of their professors who was in the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s. We were having a discussion about how the university was standing up for the free speech of its staff, and I’d begun to wonder, as I went home reading your book on the tube, whether I’d made a big mistake—because the protest against this professor is really just a coordination exercise, isn’t it? And maybe I’d aided it by talking about it. Me: Oh yes—protests are coordination exercises. They’re designed to make private knowledge common knowledge. So, in a repressive regime, everyone may know that they despise the government, but because criticism of the government is punished, people might keep their opinions to themselves, with a result that they really don’t know what their fellow citizens think. Each one might think that they’re the only ones that are disgruntled, and so they can’t fear standing up to—they fear standing up to oppose the regime, because they can be picked off one at a time. If everyone were to protest at once, no government has the firepower to intimidate all its citizens at once. In a public protest, people can see other people there, and they know that the people there see other people there, and that can give them the strength and numbers to oppose the regime—sometimes by literally storming the palace, or sometimes just bringing the machinery of the state to a halt through work stoppages. But the crucial thing is that they are coordinated. They can only be coordinated if everyone knows that everyone knows that they hate the regime. Daniel Finkelstein: I suppose that social media is making people—is increasing the stock of common knowledge. We’re all much more aware of what other people like us, in particular like us, know, and we also know that other people know it, and so on, as you put it, and that makes people have more common knowledge. It’s not making us happier though; maybe we’d be better with less common knowledge? Me: Social media are making us more connected within certain circles—that is, those who are receiving the same texts and feeds that we are. It reduces the pool of, or shrinks the largest pool of common knowledge, namely the whole country, which may have been accessible in a day in which, say, in the United States there were three networks, or in Britain everyone was listening to the BBC. And yes, it probably doesn’t make us as happy, because when everything is public, it means that your reputation is on the line for anything you say or do. It means that since social media allow us to generate common knowledge, not just receive it like in the old days, it means that attacks on people’s reputation can be common knowledge, which means that it’s all the more painful for people on the receiving end of the attack. It may have something to do with the fact that in certain demographics—especially young people whose lives increasingly are online—that there’s that much more social competition, opportunities for gossip and ostracism and demeaning comments, and so on.

60 years ago, Ronald Reagan gave Americans a warning that has stood the test of time. This is from Reagan's "Time for Choosing" speech: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course." ... "Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as 'the masses.' This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, 'the full power of centralized government'--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy." ... "They say we are always 'against' things, never 'for' anything. Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." ... "Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the part of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin." ... "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." ... "You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin--just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all." "You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, 'There is a price we will not pay.' There is a point beyond which they must not advance." ... "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." Doesn't it feel like Reagan is speaking to us TODAY?

And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course." ... "Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as 'the masses.' This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, 'the full power of centralized government'--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy." ... "They say we are always 'against' things, never 'for' anything. Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." ... "Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the part of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin." ... "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." ... "You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin--just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all." "You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, 'There is a price we will not pay.' There is a point beyond which they must not advance." ... "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." Doesn't it feel like Reagan is speaking to us TODAY?

“What I think SPX is, is a wake-up call. And I think for the normie, the average person, it literally is best described as being the next Bitcoin, because that's literally what it is. Bitcoin was a wake-up call to show people that value is subjective. And SPX is the next iteration of that. And once you get enough people to understand that the value of the dollar is subjective. It only has value because people believe in it. Bitcoin only has value because people believe in it. SPX has value because people believe in it. And the next step is Well, it's not just money that is subjective in value. It is literally everything is subjective. The entire universe is this subjective entity that is created from our own consciousness. And that's what Like, the purpose of this vehicle, yes, it's going to make a lot of people a lot of money, but the point of that is to wake people up to the fact that the entire universe is this subjective entity. It is not just this, like, empirical machine with interlocking gears and like this orderly machine that proceeds from just like the sum of its parts like no like we are literally the universe creating the universe and that's what spx is meant to wake people up to.” — Crypto Maxi 💹🧲
