Thomas Sowell breaks down how most intellectuals think: “The best definition I’ve heard is from Hayek—he says an intellectual is a ‘secondhand dealer in ideas.’” “The vast majority of intellectuals don’t originate any ideas but they peddle ideas that other people have originated.” “That gives them a great deal... show more

Leftists have no grasp on any of the disciplines necessary for governance and leadership. They think economics are a myth. They either don't know history, or they ignore it. I'm not sure which is worse. Their ideas about human nature are... fanciful, at best. The best Leftist ideas are just failed socialist policies of the past, or a doubling-down on currently failing policies.

Jony Ive: “Ideas are always fragile” “Ideas—by definition—are always fragile. If they were resolved, they wouldn’t be ideas. They would be products that were ready to ship.” The legendary Apple designer continues: “I’ve come to learn that you have to make an extraordinary effort not to focus on the problems, which are implicated with any new idea. These problems are known. They’re quantifiable and understood. But you have to focus on the actual idea, which is partial, tentative, and unproven.” All new ideas have problems, and if you don’t suspend your disbelief and trust that you will find a solution, you will lose faith in your idea. “That is why criticism and focusing on the problems can be so damaging—particularly in the absence of a constructive idea. Remember, opinions are not ideas. Opinions are not as important as ideas. Opinions are just opinions.” Source: California College of the Arts

Sam Altman: “The good founders are people who have ideas all the time” “You can give a founder an idea and they can start a company. The problem is they need to come up with new ideas for the company basically every week. You have to come up with crazy new ideas and big changes all the time.” When Sam was at Y Combinator, they tried an experiment where they funded 20 teams of strong founders that didn’t have ideas but were otherwise really good. They all failed. “What we learned is that the good founders are people who have ideas all the time. There’s an intelligence component to this. There’s a creativity component to this. There’s an ability to think independent thoughts component to this. But whatever you want to call this - this particular kind of intelligence that leads to seeing problems in different ways and thinking of ideas that don’t yet exist but should - you’ve got to have that in a founder.” Video source: Y Combinator (2018)

AJ Styles on IYO SKY and ASUKA: “IYO SKY is one of the best athletes I have ever seen. Like, she is unbelievable. And you know, there’s other girls that have gotten the opportunity. ASUKA’s amazing as well. They just have something that a lot of other, not just women, but men, just that some of them just don’t have. And I think that it’s because they were in Japan that they have this tenacity. Maybe that’s what it is. And so, I just enjoy watching them work and just in awe of how good they are.” #WWERaw #IYOSKY #ASUKA

People want money so badly, and they have so few ideas, they’re willing to keep it in a checking account that earns negative interest rates.” “They lose a little money every year, but that’s preferable to having concrete ideas.”

ELON: BY PUSHING FOR CENSORSHIP, THE LEFT SHOWS IT’S AGAINST FREEDOM “You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech. The side that is restricting freedom of speech, that would have been the Hitlers, Stalins, Mussolinis of the world. They had very strong censorship, very strong restrictions on speech. That's one of the signs that they are the bad guys. In fact, restrictions on speech and large government are fundamentally fascist, obviously. So ironically, in pushing for censorship, it makes it very clear that the left is the side that is against freedom. And freedom of speech is simply one of many freedoms that we should have as a civil society. Because ideas should win on the strength of their arguments, they should not win because they suppress [other ideas].” Source: Interview with Matteo Salvini, April 2025

Elon Musk: We should let ideas compete, not suppress them. “I think we should embrace a diversity of views, and we should have reasonable arguments, and we should have debates. The essence of free speech is that ideas survive when they're competing ideas in the marketplace of ideas. And if somebody says something that's incorrect, then that can be corrected. That's what happens on the 𝕏 platform. People will say something, then others will add context to it, or they will correct it, or there will be a community note. This applies equally to the left and right. There's no thumb on the scale like there used to be. And there's no voice on the left that's been silenced, unlike in the past, where many voices on the right were silenced. But they just don't seem to like the idea that people on the right can say what they want to say within the bounds of the law, which is startling.” Pittsburgh, October 20, 2024

Why do intelligent people so often fail to build the life they want? DAN KOE says it's not IQ, and it has nothing to do with how much you know. It's a definition of genius most people have never heard: "Genius thinking as a definition would be the ability to hold threatening ideas in the realm of possibility, paired with the intention to understand rather than just know." Read that again. "The ability to hold threatening ideas in the realm of possibility." That's why some of the smartest people you know are "incredibly stupid." Thinking is the one thing that determines the outcome of your life.

Gov. Spencer Cox: "I think it's important that we, with eyes wide open, understand what's happening in our country today...It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals. This cuts to the very foundation of who we are, who we have been, and who we could be...Political violence is different than any other kind of violence. The very act that Charlie championed of expression, freedom of expression that is defined in our founding documents. Having his life taken in that very act makes it more difficult for people to feel like they can share their ideas, that they can speak freely. We will never be able to solve all the other problems, including the violence problems, if we can't have a clash of ideas safely and securely — especially those ideas with which you disagree."

Elon Musk explains how to get startup ideas When asked how he comes up with startup ideas, Elon responds: “I tend to think of things from a sort of physics standpoint… what’s the best way to accomplish something? And then pursue that. That’s also a good way to determine if something’s far from its optimum.” He gives rockets as an example: “You could reason by analogy and say the rocket is going to cost a certain amount because that’s what prior rockets have cost. Or you can say, well, what is a rocket made of? What are the material constituents? What do they weigh? What’s the cost per unit mass? And that sets the limit asymptotically for what a rocket can be. So if you can figure out some creative way to rearrange those elements into a rocket shape, then you can achieve a much better outcome.” He also thinks combining ideas from different industries is really helpful for innovation: “What have people discovered in one industry and can that be applied to other industries? That’s I think also a great source of ideas. But usually you just struggle on a solution and try a bunch of things. Most of them don’t work and occasionally one does.” Source: VANITY FAIR (Oct 2014)

Sam Altman on the importance of surrounding yourself with people who don’t shoot down your ideas “Good ideas are not a solo endeavor. You want to find a group of smart people that you can start bouncing things off of… You don’t just sit in a room and write on the window with the whiteboard pen and have the good ideas come to you. Good ideas come because you talk to people.” But Sam stresses that this comes with an important caveat: surround yourself with people who build on your ideas rather than shoot them down: “Ideas are very fragile. So when you find this set of people to start talking about ideas with, you want people who don’t immediately shoot down a bad, half-baked idea… You want people who will say, ‘Well, that sounds crazy unlikely to work, but think how big it could be if it did work.’.. And then you can figure out how to make it work if you want.” Video source: Stanford Online (2017)

The point about free speech absolutism really matters. I genuinely think the only way we resolve terrible ideas is through better ideas. That can feel daunting in a world where people respond to disagreement with attacks. When attacks happen because you think people with different ideas are fascist or evil - or if someone like Charlie Kirk is assassinated, it creates a climate of fear. It becomes a world where people say words are violence, and therefore they feel entitled to do violence to you because your ideas are considered reprehensible, because you are not seen as a fellow citizen and human but as something evil. It is frightening, but that is exactly when courage is needed. Free speech absolutism gives us the only real tool we have, which is faith, whether secular or religious, in our fellow citizens. Faith that the power of good ideas and the illumination they bring can act as an antiseptic against bad ideas. Sometimes we will lose. But the alternative is far worse. The flip side is absolute barbarism, a descent into violence and dehumanisation, in what should be a shared quest for civilisation over barbarism. Speaking at The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship with Toby Young Seth Dillon Julie Bindel

Asmongold says women who weaponize their sexuality are the most misogynist people alive "These women have internalized misogyny. On some deep down level they know that the only value and the only worth that they have is sexual. The only thing they can do is have sex with a guy, and that's the only way they provide value to the world." "Because of that, they use it as the primary currency through which they view the entire world. That's the reason they say what they say." "These women are the most sexist and the most misogynist people because they don't believe in women's agency. They view access to women as a sexual currency they can leverage for other resource allocation, which is a fundamentally and profoundly sexist thing to do."

Elon Musk on the rapid advancement of AI and robotics "I'm confident that if AI and robotics continue to advance which they are advancing very rapidly working will be optional, and people will have any goods and services that they want" AI and robotics are advancing so fast that, eventually, they could satisfy nearly every human need. At that point, abundance becomes the default, and the real question is no longer about production, but purpose "There is a limit people can only eat so much food. But I think if you can think of it, you can have it in the future"

AWARENESS AND THE SYSTEM Yoko: The public believes that there's somebody up there who's very powerful because they're rich and they control the media etcetera. And they think, 'Oh, we don't have the control so we can't do it.' And we have this negativism all the time. But that's not what it is at all. They're not powerful because they're rich and they control the media. They're powerful, sadly enough because they are 'aware' and they're trying to keep other people ignorant. If our awareness level gets to the same level as they are, we outnumber them. So there's nothing they can do. John: Who is 'they'? Well, whoever 'they' are - That kept the workers uneducated. That sent children down in the mines in the Industrial Revolution in England. Who tried not to educate people. We're all part of a system, in a way, and 'they' includes us, too. #powertothepeople

🚨ELON MUSK: "I thought Marxism was a dead philosophy but its alive and well in our educational institutions. Part of it is that you have a lot of colleges with these giant endowments that insulate them from reality. So you can have this fake Communist Utopia at a university because they don't have any feedback loop to reality because they have these giant endowments (and government funding too), so that allows them to be disconnected from the realities of the free market. They take advantage of the free market, but they live in a pseudo communist world. How often do we need to run the Communism experiment? It should be very obvious that the economic philosophy that is the good one is the one that does not need to build walls to keep people IN. North Korea builds walls to keep people in. East Germany had to build walls to keep people from going to West Germany. The philosophy that has to build walls to keep people in, is the bad one. And yet you see a resurgence of it, over and over again."
