  • Scott Adams’ User Interface for Reality

    This is a true, true, gem. Whenever people mention Scott’s work, I mention this video. Now it has a link in my yard, so I can share it more easily. Since you are here, I recommend you watch it and make notes — they can be “one-liners” — on how each one of those “buttons”…

  • Will “SaaS” Mean Anything in 5 Years?

    I have this feeling that legislators will go absolutely anal control-freak in the coming years, creating all sorts of complexities and bureaucracies imaginable, affecting all industries at once. It will be very hard for the average person or entrepreneur to build a consistent tech solution by themselves—and, especially, to keep that solution running bug-free in…

  • Start as Early as Possible

    by Brivael Every single one of the brightest people I’ve run into over the last few years realized the exact same thing at the exact same time: the degree system is a Ponzi scheme. The sequence is always identical. They get into a top school. Within six months, they realize that what they’re being taught…

  • Musk and Resource Allocation

    Musk and Resource Allocation

    by Brivael Elon Musk once said something about resource allocation that really stuck with me. Essentially: past a certain level of wealth, money is no longer about consumption; it’s about capital allocation. That one sentence changes everything. At its core, economics is just an allocation problem. You have finite resources and infinite uses. Who gets…

  • The Man in the Arena

    The Man in the Arena

    It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who…

  • The Weaponization of Ugliness: Why Beauty is the Ultimate Resistance

    The Weaponization of Ugliness: Why Beauty is the Ultimate Resistance

    by https://x.com/BrivaelFr adapted from French to English using Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Communist ideology breeds ugliness. It’s not a side effect, it’s in its DNA. Let me explain. This ugliness isn’t an accident. It’s not a lack of budget. It’s not incompetence. It’s a weapon. And the Soviet regime deployed it with surgical precision for…

  • Musk: Work will be a Hobby

    I can only conclude that Musk’s “Contribution to Consumption Ratio” was a temporary aspiration of his. This is the new motto: People will be absolutely consumption-prone and will forget what work truly meant as a contribution in the past.

  • Deep Learning and Fertility

    Deep Learning and Fertility

    by Jesús Fernández-Villaverde on X.com in 20260406 “Two things are important right now in life: deep learning and fertility. Everything else is noise. We are only starting to glimpse what these two forces will do to global life over the next fifty years. And they interact: deep learning will reshape demographics, and demographic collapse will…
