We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s…

THE MECHANISMS OF WHORING AND GAMBLING《嫖赌机关》 One of the most romantic, charming books I’ve read also has one of the crudest names possible. Written by Shen Hongyu, a late Ming opera singer, only a few copies survive today, preserving a magical moment in Chinese history 1/x

Pobre castigo. Ahí me las den todas. Más interesante para ti, muy CPS: las causas y efectos, premios y castigos no son lineales. Este hilo te encantará. Nassim Nicholas Taleb tuvo una reencarnación en la que era un chino escribiendo sobre soñar mariposas. x.com/XianyangCB/sta…
