Why does the last decade feel like we’re going back in time and only thing that advances is the technology but it’s not making anyone smarter or wiser, on the contrary it’s vice versa?

This whole situation is so morally wrong on so many levels And it will get worse It will get so much worse until it gets somewhat better The question if we survive to see that “somewhat vague better” remains

I don’t know how the rest of the world, the Americans specifically, will be ethically ok with living for the rest of their lives knowing that not only they didn’t manage to help Ukraine invaded by Russia survive but also EXPLOITED us in the hour of need…for generations to come…

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

As as a leader of my own organization, I think about this a lot. My team and I are currently at the Paris AI summit and I’m so proud of our work. It wouldn’t be possible without the right kind of culture.

Maybe this will sound a little bit nihilistic, but it did help me, right. All of these things, culture, institutions, these are all things we set up as human beings. They're concepts. They're actually not real physical things. And culture requires preservation. Institutions require preservation. We can't take them for granted. If you like the culture you are in, no matter what culture it is, you actually have to contribute to it. And to see how quickly it was taken away because of one man's looming threat was very sobering, and the fragility of it kind of still stays with me.
