UK Reaction to Fairford Plot Is Suicidal Empathy in Action (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beege and John have both written extensively on the bizarre Fairford terrorist attack and the even more bizarre reaction to it in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately for you, you haven't benefited much from my wisdom so far, and I aim to round out the takes so you get a hat trick. The story, as Beege has said, gets more bizarre every day. After days of implying through word and deed that there was less here than initially met the eye, the Brits are in full reverse mode, giving us all information w
Muslims Keep Saying the Not-So-Quiet Part Out Loud, Elites Keep Saying It's Not True (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you trusted what the open-borders/diversity-is-our-strength crowd said, you would believe that anybody who said that Islamists are invading the West in order to take it over must be a white supremacist racist. It has a certain ring of plausibility to people who grew up believing in the melting pot, as most of us did, and who rightly worry that nativism is an easy way to import hate into the political marketplace while wearing a mask. The problem with that is that it is just factually true tha
Hegseth: The Pentagon Needs Outsiders to Shake Up Thinking About Future Threats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pete Hegseth made a slew of announcements yesterday, all aimed at transforming the military in some way or another. One makes obvious sense, one is absolutely necessary, and one has great potential, but could also become a big fat dud. I will, of course, focus on the latter, because it will get all the cheers and jeers, while the other two are important news items. First the obviously smart move that won't generate much controversy, I hope. Hegseth is standing up an Autonomous Warfare Command, w
What Do You Get When You Combine the French Love of Riots With Muslim Love of Riots (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grok and I have been going back and forth a bit on what is exactly going on in France. Grok keeps telling me that the current riots are mostly a French thing, meaning that the French love to riot when they are unhappy, and that the fact that most of the videos show Muslims committing violence is a coincidence. What is not in dispute is that, once again, there is mass political violence, and people in France are doing what they love to do: destroy things every few years, as if it is a tradition g
I Ruined My Sleep Last Night Chatting With Two AIs About AI Safety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You may have noticed that I have been writing a lot about Artificial Intelligence lately. \ am going to keep writing a series on the economics, governance, and safety issues anyway. Unless it kills my readership, of course. I'm not that stupid. I need to eat. The reasons I am becoming a dog with a bone on these issues are simple. First, the current discussion in the media is complete bulls**t and only serves to obscure the real, very important issues that matter. Second, the current debate is, i
