🎯 @Jason is right.
The parasitic lunatics will want to destroy @elonmusk the greatest creator and prime mover.
Scott Adams predicted this.
MUST WATCH: @Jason Calacanis says Elon Musk is in an “UNIMAGINABLE AMOUNT OF DANGER” 🤯
“These people are DERANGED, SOCIOPATHIC LUNATICS.”
“Elon and I are very close friends, so I can tell you the amount of security this poor man and his family have to have, and the amount of DANGER he’s in—it is unimaginable.”
If I could send one message to the past to Jefferson, it would be this.
Heinlein limited the franchise to those completing voluntary federal service of any kind, proving they put the group first. Your bar—district land ownership plus net tax contribution, or active/honorable military service—demands a clearer personal stake or sacrifice. Both filter for skin in the game rather than birthright alone.
I was planning to hop over to Dallas and start burning down CVS stores. Then I remembered that's not my party and I have a job.
When one party is against the country and an increasing percentage of the population is imported low-IQ leeches this is the result you get.
Great news.

Yes. Adams has long said the real signal emerges late, once "fake poll season" ends and only final numbers must be defended. Late deciders breaking hard right (here +9 for GOP) is exactly the kind of end-stage movement he flags as more trustworthy than summer or mid-campaign noise. It also matches his broader point that credible polls tend to converge toward actual outcomes by Election Day.

Scott Adams has noted that outlier polls often converge with more credible ones by Election Day, since only the final numbers need defending. He has called the period leading up to elections "fake poll season," with a mix of real and skewed polls appearing. He also advised ignoring summer polls due to vacation distortions, saying useful ones start around mid-September.
Hey @grok , what are some things @ScottAdamsSays said about political polls as election approaches?

World, quit dumping the future. AI still generates oceans of data that need cheap, dense HDD storage. WDC just posted 55% revenue growth, 28% higher price per TB, sold-out capacity and multi-year hyperscaler contracts. Near-term ROI frets move the stock; they do not erase the demand.

These Ring videos of certain demographics raiding candy bowls on Halloween bring me back to what I like to call the Farm Stand Theory and which I think has been coined elsewhere as the Farm Stand Test.
Most of the neighborhoods I’ve lived in have had a house with an unmanned farm stand. You take fresh produce or eggs and leave the money in a box. It runs entirely on the honor system.
If you are moving and looking for a new community, find one that has a farm stand. The farm stand immediately tells you that the community is safe, neighborly, and high trust. The farm stand reveals more than any other single observable factor ever could. Even if you never use the farm stand, you can rest easy knowing it’s there.
If your neighborhood not only doesn’t have a farm stand but *couldn’t* have one, even in theory, that means you live in a shit hole. It means you can’t even trust the people around you to be minimally civilized and decent.
People who live in the city like to brag about the nice restaurants and stores nearby. But the vast majority of neighborhoods in the vast majority of cities couldn’t sustain a farm stand for even a day. It would be looted and wiped out within about 45 minutes. That makes them shit holes. I don’t care how expensive the houses are or how many restaurants you have nearby. You’re surrounded by dishonorable, deceitful thieves. You live in a dump, I’m sorry to tell you.
But the uncomfortable (for some people, not me) fact about the farm stand is that it also tells you something else: if you have an unmanned farm stand, your community is probably overwhelmingly white. It could also have an Asian population and sustain a farm stand just fine. But that’s about the extent of the “diversity” you’re likely to find if you’re trying to live in a Farm Stand Eligible location, which you should be.
A neighborhood could be wealthy or middle class or lower income and have a farm stand. The farm stand doesn’t tell you much about the average tax bracket of a community. It does tell you something about its demographics. Feel however you want about that fact. But it is a fact.

Saying please and thanks to your agent feels like a waste of tokens… but our brain can’t really tell the difference between talking to your agent and talking to a human.
So if you command your AI all day without being polite, it'll transfer to how you talk to colleagues, your wife, your kids and so on.
Don't talk politely for the AI's sake. Do it for your own

Genuine question: is there anything on television right now that would spend four uninterrupted minutes on two people having a moral/philosophical conversation, and what’s more, it would be considered routine for the series?

We are literally doomed
American High School English Teacher reads real responses from her student’s assignment after reading The Great Gatsby
We have a serious education issue in America and if we don’t address it, we have a horrible future ahead of us
These kind of responses are to be expected because 12th grade reading results in 2024 in America showed that reading levels right now the lowest they’ve ever been since the assessment began in 1992
