I spent 12 hours reading and pondering over a (very well-written) biography on Harry Truman. At the end of it, I formed my own opinion that Harry was ultimately a narcissist, and that drove many of his opinions and decisions.
I then used AI to see if it could confirm this idea.
Short story, I came to the completely wrong conclusion, and was incredibly humbled by the real, data-based, sound logic argument presented to the contrary (in about 20 seconds).
We live in unbelievable times.

Most academics search for and cherry-pick the data supporting the truth they want to believe.
You can’t desire truth into reality.

Everyone should study heuristics to be able to better account for them.
Mental shortcuts are terrible for long-term strategy decisions, and usually negatively impact rapid, tactical decision making.

2025-05-06 13:42:59 UTC

Deep thoughts with Rob:
Truth, though absolute, can often be unsettling in its implications.
For this, many people have zero desire to discern reality in the context of what is obviously true.
And for this, it’s even more important to weigh the above implications by conscience/morality rooted in experience, studying of history, and disciplined empathy.

Understanding ₿ is empirically proportional to testosterone levels and general manliness. Most women and effeminate men just don’t get it / don’t care.
Obvious exceptions exist, but as a general rule, it’s become shockingly evident.

Only AI will be able to parse through the opinions of millions in search of truth and reality, and only if such AI is in itself, impartial and unprejudiced will it succeed.
What we do with that truth will define the rest of history.

Well there’s almost nothing not to like from a car perspective, they handle better than German cars, good autopilot feature, FSD if you pay for it, the service has been great for me, I’ve had only 2 issues (one cosmetic) and both times they came to my house and replaced parts and even upgraded features.
And they are quite fast and fun to drive overall. I also like the regenerative breaking feature its suits driving style well.
No stopping at gas stations obviously, if your house has solar you can take advantage of that…

Most people complain about symptoms instead of root causes.
If you take your issue and ask why several times (until it seems silly) you probably get to root cause.
Better use of your time to start solving that. This is the #satoshi way.

Why so much anti-male sub themes in modern art and literature?
It’s getting blatant and it’s a huge turnoff.
It feels like movies and books are just written for adolescent, leftist females these days.
I basically just stick to reading memoirs, non-fiction and classic literature. 👀
