An OpenAI Researcher Just Quit to Build Telepathy — and It's Closer Than You Think
Tom Bilyeu covers how the Democratic Socialist Alliance wins local races while outspent, Tucker Carlson's policy platform, birthright citizenship orders, and how wage data is being misread.
The gist
-
Supporting unknown candidates early builds lasting loyalty and is more cost-effective than spending on established races, a tactic used by DSA and AIPAC.
-
Bilyeu says Bessent ignores that 4.6% median wage growth minus 3.9% inflation leaves only a 0.7% real gain, the thinnest in years.
-
Laws without enforcement are weak on paper; Trump's birthright citizenship orders matter mainly because they signal institutional will to act.
-
When arguing a contentious position, lead with economic or strategic reasoning rather than emotion, since vague appeals collapse under scrutiny.
