Jeff’s willingness to spend millions on an unnecessary rebranding when his workers go without health insurance and bathroom breaks is why we need to address the oligarch problem sooner rather than later. Jeff Bezos is a monster.

According to the 2026 World Population Review, the U.S. is ranked 12th worldwide in education. That means there are 11 countries where workers' education makes them more qualified for STEM jobs than American workers. Suspending permanent residency programs will move jobs overseas. #RemoteWork

Establishing that racism, bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia weren’t a problem for the Joe Rogans of the world only confirms what we already knew. These people are broken in ways that likely can’t be repaired. Joe Rogan is a monster. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

If Joe Rogan were truly remorseful for the role he played in helping elect the 45th president and normalize the reelection of the 47th, he wouldn't be rebranding-he'd be retreating. He'd shut down his podcast, step away from the microphone, and reckon with the damage he's done. Instead, he continues to posture as a curious everyman, an "expert in nothing" with a platform that has amplified conspiracy theorists, misogynists, anti-vaxers, and white nationalists under the disingenuous banner of "just asking questions."

Rogan didn't just host controversial figures-he legitimized them. He gave them hours-long, unchallenged airtime to launder their ideologies into the mainstream, all while cultivating a fanbase that treats skepticism of science, empathy, and accountability as punchlines. He profited handsomely from this chaos, becoming a cultural juggernaut by feeding grievance, distrust, and manufactured outrage to millions.

Now, as the political tides shift and the consequences of his influence become harder to deny, Rogan wants to pivot, casting himself not as a propagator of disinformation, but as someone who was "betrayed." It's a familiar playbook: the arsonist returns to the scene of the fire, claiming to be a victim of the smoke.

Like Rush Limbaugh before him, Rogan has done incalculable harm under the guise of entertainment. And like Limbaugh, he will likely never be held accountable in any meaningful way. But let's not mistake his self-pity for growth. Redemption requires more than regret-it demands silence, reflection, and a willingness to stop doing harm. Rogan has shown no interest in any of the above.

So far, I hear a lot more about who should lose power than about what would replace the functions that power currently performs. If the goal is to demonstrate a better way to organize society, I'd expect more emphasis on building successful, scalable examples wherever possible. 2/3

Agree to disagree. Saying "there are other ways to organize society" isn't the same as demonstrating one. Before replacing markets, I'd like to see a workable system that solves allocation, incentives, and scarcity at scale. 1/3

Even if you ignore the 8 billion people and the enormous challenges of energy, logistics, fresh water, housing, political conflict, incentives, resources, and human behavior, getting rid of billionaires does not magically solve the problem of allocating finite and in most cases scarce resources.
