I told you the Palantir manifesto was good:

Palantir manifesto is the plan of the Western techno-fascism. The superiority of the white race based on the technology. No antisemitism, no sacredness, no socialism of old historic fascism. This time pure capitalist, Jews friendly, profane, materialist. Anglo. Posthumanist.

I hope to have time to write about its specific points later. The last two weeks of class, I’m snowed under, my friends. But freedom comes soon.

In Spain, Sánchez is giving a legal status to over 500,000 African migrants, claiming that Spain “is a nation of immigrants.”

67% of all Spaniards and 80% of the young generation are opposites to the move. Note how it’s the young people who are the most based.

Young people are our biggest hope right now. They rediscover church, go back to writing by hand, despise AI, and reject propaganda.

This is actually not bad. I wanted to hate it but it’s not terrible. It’s even mildly critical of leftism.

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel…

If the nation-state is dead anyways, then why not this?

No way would I be as effective as I am if I didn’t spend a good chunk of time every day alone with my thoughts and looking at the sky.

It’s the most enjoyable thing plus it’s healthy and costs zero money.

80% of my recommendations on YouTube are videos about writers are literature. They are almost all AI-generated. And they are terrible. Riddled with factual mistakes, ugly. The inundation of this garbage happened very fast.

After all the hype, I’m sure everybody is curious about the surprise breakfast. You can’t see it in the picture but the gigantic salad with the rose has the a la huancaína sauce.

The China set is a gift (from the past, not today), and it’s a really beautiful story.

Please observe the virtuous cups of water and the inordinate number of pickled foods.

Thank you, everybody, for the birthday wishes!

In good news, in class we are reading a play where the male character tells the woman he likes that he can’t offer lifelong love but promises to”try to choose her every day”. All of the (mostly female) students were repulsed by this and said that the female character should not agree to this choosy arrangement.

Choosy is no longer chic.

“I will go out now to buy you a surprise bouquet of flowers for your birthday,” N tells me. “Then I will hide it under your desk. Don’t look there because it’s a SURPRISE bouquet of flowers.”

It really concerns me that we and people of other political beliefs increasingly live in realities that don’t coincide.

I talked this morning with a colleague who is a professor of chemistry and a US citizen and who can’t travel to his father’s funeral because of the tense political situation.

Can you guess in which country the funeral takes place? A hint: it’s a country where it’s dangerous for an American to go.

Another hint: I’m going there in May.

Yes, it’s Montreal, Canada.

The colleague delivered this update like it’s a completely normal thing. Like it requires no explanation. And yes, exactly a year ago I had an identical conversation with another colleague. It also involved the dangers of traveling to Canada. There’s probably something going on in the other side’s news cycle of which we are utterly unaware.
