Peter Turchin Kept the Receipts
One of my favorite analysts, Peter Turchin, is one of the few people who loves data even more than I do. He quite usefully chose a pair of opposite predictions concerning the Ukraine war back in 2022, one from Paul Krugman and one from Scott Ritter, and constructed models on the bases of those predictions […]

GOLD REVALUATION
FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE
Official Reserve Revaluations: The International Experience
"With public debt at high levels, some governments have begun to explore financing additional expenditures without raising taxes while also not increasing public debt outstanding. One possibility is using proceeds from valuation gains on gold reserves, as has been floated in the U.S. and Belgium recently.1 For the U.S., this would involve revaluing the government's 261.5 million troy ounces in gold reserves—the largest gold reserves globally— from a statutory price of $42.22 per troy ounce to current market prices, which stand around $3300 per troy ounce..."

The Thiel-Yarvin connection runs deeper than previously understood. According to communications revealed in 2016, Yarvin privately claimed to Milo Yiannopoulos that he had been “coaching Thiel” in politics and that they watched the election together [1][2]. In these messages, Yarvin described Thiel as “fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully” [1][2]. This suggests not merely casual philosophical exchange, but active political consultation.
"Thiel’s transformation from someone who declared in 2009 that “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible” [3] to an active political kingmaker appears closely aligned with Yarvin’s anti-democratic philosophy. Thiel’s 2009 essay for the Cato Institute laid groundwork that mirrors Yarvin’s later articulated vision—calling for escape from politics through technological solutions and criticizing the extension of voting rights to women and welfare recipients as incompatible with libertarian goals [4][5]."

The subtext here is that the FBI encouraged and allowed the theft to take place, ruining $21 million worth of moon rocks, just so some agents could get an easier case to prosecute.

"When the meeting came, it wasn’t buyers waiting — it was undercover FBI agents. The rocks were recovered, but the FBI said they were now “virtually useless to the scientific community,” and the theft also destroyed 30 years of a NASA scientist’s handwritten research notes."

"Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice. Focusing on important questions puts us in the awkward position of being ignorant. One of the beautiful things about science is that it allows us to bumble along, getting it wrong time after time, and feel perfectly fine as long as we learn something each time. No doubt, this can be difficult for students who are accustomed to getting the answers right. No doubt, reasonable levels of confidence and emotional resilience help, but I think scientific education might do more to ease what is a very big transition: from learning what other people once discovered to making your own discoveries. The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries."

I recently saw an old friend for the first time in many years. We had been Ph.D. students at the same time, both studying science, although in different areas. She later dropped out of graduate school, went to Harvard Law School and is now a senior lawyer…

TIL in 1992, about 70 youth members of the Eclaireurs de France, a French scouting association, descended on the Cave of Mayrières supérieure with steel brushes to clean up graffiti, erasing two 15,000-year-old cave paintings of bison before realizing what they were.
