I want to plant the Austrian seed as opposed to seeming like I’m preaching

He’s a smart kid so I’m assuming when shown a better way of thinking he will see the light

My cousin just graduated high school and is looking to get into econ. I have begun orange pilling but he's not all the way there yet

I want to slip him Principles of Economics as a recommended read so he doesn't get completely brainwashed by the establishment

You don't need any experience before reading it right? It's good for those with no (or very little) prior knowledge?

I was thinking of starting there and then getting into the bitcoin standard after if he takes to the ideas and thought processes

Back in January, Twitter blocked content in India at Modi's request. More than just blocking links, certain tweets themselves were blocked:

In March, Twitter blocked a bunch of accounts in India, widening the censorship:

Guardian reported on it last week:

"Twitter agreed to block more than 120 accounts, including the Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, the Canadian poet Rupi Kaur, several journalists and an Indian MP. Twitter also blocked the handle of the BBC’s Punjabi bureau."

In 2022, Musk said that Tesla looked into opening facilities in India but it as conditional on being able to sell and service cars in India (which makes sense). Given that it's an economically growing country of 1.4 billion people, it's a long-term important market to sell to. India might never be a profit center for Twitter, but it could certainly be a profit center for Tesla.

Yesterday, Elon Musk followed Modi on Twitter.

"Elon Musk has started to follow Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, on Twitter. The tech billionaire's action has generated a lot of discussion on social media, with many people guessing about what it might signal for the future of Tesla in India."

"Free speech absolutism" goes about as far as business interests do. Any centralized platform is corruptible, controllable.

100% correct

The small wins of him exposing mainstream corrupt journos is a trade off I’ll make for now as long as we have nostr

Wasn't thrilled with Elon with the whole Substack nonsense but if he keeps exposing these journos for what they are like this he might get back on my good graces

I don’t understand all the excitement of RFK running for President as a dem

He will get exactly 0% of the vote with dems as he represents the exact opposite of everything they believe

Don’t skimp on a futon

Might have some company ⚡️

The nyt mining piece is yet but another reminder that they are an enemy of the people
