As usual, open video tabs start to accumulate on things that aren’t quite worth a separate post, but a bit too interesting to throw into a LinkSwarm. So here’s a tab-clearing roundup.
Includes a look at TSMC’s Arizona fab complex, an ASML EUV stepper (which we covered here), and a Foxconn assembly line.
As a bonus, here’s a version of the basketball-gorilla test he talks about.
New boss David Ellison is a fan of male action heroes, and not a fan of “The Message.” “I think it’s fair to say this guy sees middle America for what it is, a potentially huge market that’s been badly neglected in recent years, mostly by people who absolutely hate them.”
“If ever there was a definitive signal that the age of identity politics and the message has come to an end in Hollywood, I think this just might be it. The great experiment that’s decimated pop culture for the past decade is well and truly over. Good fucking riddance.”
Basically metal petals attached with string.
To grossly boil down: because Woodrow Wilson didn’t want a no-win situation of either an ex-president ending up dead in a trench or making Roosevelt so popular again that he could beat him in the 1920 presidential election.

If Peterson had his health it would be interesting to hear his thoughts on the current day. Watching the clip I have to say events have really passed him by. The person I would like to hear from is Camile Paglia. For figures from the past, Christopher Hitchens and Milton Friedman.
Dan Simon’s basketball/gorilla test is an excellent demonstrationof as to how we don’t know what we don’t know because we can only focus on one task at a time. To erect a science having universal validity, based only on what you, as an autonomous man, are able to perceive is beyond your capabilities.
We get a glimpse of our shortcomings when the tape is rewound, forcing us to reevaluate what we thought was true. [I]ts a differnt command. You have a different aim now: you’re pursuing a different value structure.”
As the teleology (goal) is altered, so too is the behavioral science upon which the the empirical foundation is laid. Psychology demonstrates that man is a problem for himself and cannot produce a universal from within himself.
