Mean to the right people and angry about the right stuff. Ex-software engineer and product designer building Desk Job Design Lab in Brooklyn as a community space for hands-on making in an increasingly synthetic world.
The legal cannabis industry definitely wants hemp products cracked down on, I think. And crypto billionaires and cannabis investors are an overlapping population that seems to have access to serious lobbying power with this administration so idk.

Exactly, he has throughly fried any intelligence he once had and his loneliness/drug use/billionaire bubble is a compounding injury to whatever’s left.

School is a fraction of a real career engineer’s knowledge, so I wouldn’t even care if he had a degree in it. He’s never been hired for his technical expertise even once. He’s also said he earned the Physics BA from UPenn in 1995 but the university said 1997, so who knows what’s true from him.

It’s fucking obvious and not that insightful at all. Stop being impressed by nitwits, it reflects more on your intelligence than his.

This mythologizing of Peter Thiel’s intelligence is wild. The guy is a fucking dunce and you may be projecting a relative intelligence as absolute.

What part of this impressed you with “maximum intellect”?
November 11, 2025 at 6:21 PM
He’s not even STEM educated. Dude knows no real engineering, math, technology, nothing. He’s an investor poser.

Will also say: the chemicals and synthetic cannabinoids added by these manufacturers to mimic a THC high from the non-psychoactive hemp is very concerning.

My favorite is when it became all cross-promotion for various movies and TV shows, you can feel the Discovery exec’s thumb on the scale

Yeah and the hemp market is often manipulative advertising where people think they are buying legal THC. As someone who worked in the industry in California, I’m kinda shocked at this pushback. Seems like getting mad about banning that Feel Free opioid-lite drink from the gas stations.

We need to abandon this new modern left talking point that the big tech companies make no money. The ad-tech monopolies PRINT money. That’s why they can afford to put all this money into their AI products that often are *not* profitable (until they achieve some mythical monopoly or machine God).

The event was amazing, will be sending over my Meta glasses footage of the Meta glasses smashing 🙂

It’s how we guaranteed our free money scheme where we can rack up a massive national debt and never really have to pay it down while countries like Greece get “IMF restructured” into austerity.

I need @bradlander.bsky.social to step in and embarrass him this time
November 8, 2025 at 6:10 PM
I might just show up and hope to get off the waitlist because this event seems incredible!

The worst new feature I’ve seen is this for sure:

Who microwaved Christopher Walken

I’m not saying it’s a good product. Your initial argument was THEY HAVE NO PRODUCT. Go ahead and defend that now, you absolute goon.
November 8, 2025 at 5:16 PM
My god, you really struggle here. They need money because they are over-investing in building Machine God. That does not mean they don’t have a product.

Great analysis

There’s restrained contempt in that face

I swear Joe Rogan hates him, I see it in his eyes when he asks him “what else makes him a swindler”

I’m going to put them all in Hijabs and take away their light beers
