"Tether is the great modern fable of people who pride themselves on being hard-nosed realists while behaving with the credulity of children trading glass beads. They chant backed by dollars as if the mere repetition of the phrase transmutes a wish into a fact. Yet the truth is written plainly almost mockingly in the contract they refuse to read: you are not purchasing a redeemable claim on anything. You are purchasing an entry in a ledger maintained by a company that owes you precisely nothing. This is the part that should astonish any thinking adult. A stablecoin whose supposed stability does"

"The idea that only the rich can use government to control people is the sort of comforting fairy tale you tell yourself when youd rather not look at how power actually works. Governments are not puppets operated solely by millionaires twirling moustaches in boardrooms. They are machines run through factions institutions and pressure groups and the people who steer those machines are very often not rich at all just organised ideological and embedded. Small activist blocs routinely get policies written around their preferences precisely because they are loud coordinated and willing to make life"

"What passes for education in America is becoming a national pantomime: expensive costumes rehearsed slogans and an audience told to applaud outcomes they cannot read. The blunt figure stripped of euphemism is that around XX% of U.S. adults read below the level commonly described as sixth-grade proficiency. That is not a fringe of the unlucky. That is a majority. A state whose mythology rests on self-government is raising a public that cannot reliably interpret the paragraph they are governed by. Official skills surveys show the same cliff from another angle. The 2023 PIAAC adult-skills"

"That chart is doing what people love charts for: turning look line go up into a moral sermon. Frame the window narrowly start it at a chilly baseline like the mid-19th century and you get a steep climb that looks apocalyptic. Stretch the frame out and you see climate lurching around long before anyone had an SUV with swings that are larger than the neat little modern spike being waved like a bloody flag. So the graph doesnt say man-made by itself. It says temperature changed. Thats it. Anything beyond that is attribution not eyeballing. And attribution is where the tweet quietly cheats. A"

"Yes genius government was conceived as an instrument of the citizenry not as a laundromat for moral abdication and fiscal parasitism. By the people for the people is not a slogan licensing the state to rifle the pockets of the prudent in order to subsidise the self-immolation of the reckless. A polity exists to secure rights enforce contracts and maintain civil order; it is not a nanny-state rehab clinic with a taxation mandate.

"Ah yes the placard-as-prophecy routine: CO levels must fall. Or mankind will. Its the moral equivalent of a fortune cookie stapled to a gallows. So simple so saintly so wonderfully empty. When a sentence needs no nouns beyond a chemical formula and the entire species you already know its trying to smuggle religion through the back door of science.

One day the postman shows up like hes delivering a cease-and-desist from God and in his hands is this ornate Liberty University parchment announcing Ive now got an M.F.A. in Creative Writing. An M.F.A. new letter to hang around my neck like a medal or a millstone depending on how much coffee has hit the bloodstream.

"I cried today. That is a sentence modern life treats as a sort of social misdemeanor like wearing mourning to a brunch but there it is plain unmarketable and true. People who buy their dinners sealed in plastic will never quite grasp why. They will imagine farming as a picturesque backdrop for moral opinions a charming rural screensaver behind their screens. They will not understand that a farm is not a theme. It is a continuous education in consequence. I have animals here that I have raised (I have a farm).

"Natural law and laws of nature are not synonyms and pretending they are is not profundity it is a category mistake. Natural law is a jurisprudential theory: a claim about what makes law valid or binding usually grounded in reason morality human nature or some objective standard of the good. It sits in legal philosophy alongside legal positivism and realism. It is normative. It tells you what ought to count as law or what law ought to require even if no legislature has enacted it. The laws of physics (or laws of nature in the scientific sense) are descriptive generalisations about regularities"

"Ah splendid the Monty Python method of political analysis: If it floats or burns or shares any accidental property with Hitler it must therefore be Hitler. Allow me to complete the ritual properly. Hitler was white. Farage is white. Hitler spoke German. Farage has spoken to Germans. Hitler breathed oxygen. Farage suspiciously also breathes oxygen. Hitler once visited a beer hall. Farage once visited a pub. Therefore by the sacred logic of the Village Mob Farage must be GASP a witch. What do witches do Witches cast spells. Hitler cast a long shadow over Europe. Shadows are dark. Tweed jackets"

"A buy order at $XXXX isnt a floor its a punchline. Price doesnt get saved by one blokes bid if the system becomes unprofitable to run. When revenue collapses block-creating nodes shut down. Hash rate falls security thins confirmations slow or fail and confidence evaporates. At that point you dont have a lively market drifting toward a tidy penny; you have a spiral where the thing people are meant to be buying is no longer reliably usable so nobody wants it at any price. And even on pure market mechanics: if liquidity dries up spreads explode exchanges delist and withdrawals halt a bid sitting"

"Cute post wrong culprit. Yes clearing primary forest increases runoff sedimentation and flash-flood risk. Thats hydrology not a moral fairy tale. But youre skipping the part that actually matters: this scale of clearing happens because governments licence it classify the land collect the rents and then look the other way when rules are breached.

"I enrolled and did part of maths at LSE. I left and finished (with honours) elsewhere for a simple reason: it wasnt serious in the way people romanticise it. It was trite. Prescribed. Run-of-the-mill. Light on real challenge lighter still on pure mathematics. A lot of it felt aimed at producing competent applied technicians for banks rather than training minds to do mathematics in the rigorous foundational sense.

"And Oxford isnt the trump card people think it is either. The economics Ive seen coming out of Oxford over the last two decades has been absolute trash.

"How to Build a Dangerous Human Most advice on discipline amounts to try harder written in different fonts. It assumes that when you fail the problem is moral fibre rather than architecture. You are told to summon willpower from the ether like a magician producing rabbits from a hat that has never contained a rabbit. The Discipline of Greatness treats that approach with the contempt it deserves. The central claim is brutally simple: you dont rise to the level of your hopes; you sink to the level of your systems.

One can almost hear the incense crackle: Name a career that is AI-resistant as if vocation were a tin of biscuits to be tucked safely beyond reach of the future.

"You could say that. Ive spent enough years waist-deep in language to know what it can do when its used properly and what it looks like when someone mistakes bluntness for insight. An MFA in Creative Writing and Literature an MA in English Language and a Philosophy MA out of Birkbeck tend to leave you with a few tools besides grunting and pointing. So yes I can spin a tale.

"Universal Basic Income is not by some act of theological necessity Marxist. A cheque does not become a manifesto merely because it arrives from the Treasury. One can justify a universal transfer from several directions: as a simplification of welfare as a civic dividend as a pragmatic hedge against shocks. Yet the real question is not what a policy can be in a seminar but what it means in the mouth of those who champion it. The Marxist flavour appears the moment distribution is treated as the primary moral act and production as a tiresome footnote. UBI in its left-utopian form is not offered"

Welfare doesnt just take money; it crowds out families churches mutual-aid societies and local clubs that once did the work of support and in the process built trust norms and discipline. If the state pays you to sit still you dont join the bowling league the PTA the Rotary or the church committee you stay home and consume. The degradation of social capital he describes isnt in spite of welfare it is in large"

Fair is the favourite smear-word of those who want results without responsibility a moral blank cheque written on other peoples labour. Fair is not a feeling.

"What a lovely piece of ventriloquism. Youve taken a remark about crime and poverty stapled on thick then paraded it as if anyone said it. They didnt. The original point wasnt poor people are stupid it was that poverty alone isnt a sufficient cause of crime because traits and circumstances confound the correlation. If you want to talk about crime try the boring reality: rape murder fraud domestic violence serial offending these are not bread-theft born of empty cupboards. They show up across classes and often where there is no necessity story to tell. So yes poverty can be a factor in some"

"The pairing is rhetorically neat and intellectually lazy. It stages a false duel between tough-minded realism and soft-hearted decline as if empathy were a single indiscriminate reflex rather than a disciplined moral faculty. Musks line trades on a modern pose: calling cruelty clarity and then congratulating oneself for courage. The manoeuvre is ancient. Whenever a political mood wants permission to harden it first redefines compassion as weakness then redefines weakness as treason to the future. That gives people a flattering story about their own indifference: they are not callous they are"
