🚨🇺🇸🇺🇸 DATAREPUBLICAN 2.0 LAUNCH, FEATURING THE EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM (EA) EXPLORER 🇺🇸 The website redesign has finally landed thanks to @watilo ! For a decade, one small ideological network has been taking over AI governance. Chances are, if you've heard of AI policy, AI ethics, AI safety - these groups are dominated by this ideology. This ideology is called: Effective Altruism. Three weeks ago, Effective Altruists (EAs) showed their hand when they started calling for a moratarium on AI development. Since them, I've been building out this map to show the circularity of their ideology. Let's take one example. Holden Karnofsky. Defends the moral worth of digital people ... that's right, he wrote an article on why AI "people" should be assigned value as if they were living humans. Karnofsky co-founded two major EA philanthropies, GiveWell and Open Philanthropy. Subsequently went to work for METR, a central "independent" AI research nonprofit. And for good measure - recently announced a leave of absence to work on AI safety. Funding, policy, research, safety all in the same person. And he's far from the only one. EAs have created a closed-circuit network because they believe they're right; ergo, they should be in charge. The goal of launching this project was to expose all this circularity. Sam Bankman-Fried was only the beginning. With the EA Explorer: * 🌐 Read an introduction to Effective Altruism in their own words. * 🔥 Explore verified quotes. Again, their words, not mine. * 🖥️ Explore the network of connections. UI improvements still in progress. * 🖨️ Print out networks so you can study them offline (or run them through AI) 👇 Try it now (link in next post):

Whew. Finally committed the code. This was the biggest project I've done, easily. It will launch along with the soon-to-come DataRepublican 2.0 which is more mobile forward - working with @watilo to target a launch tomorrow.

HIGH PRIORITY NEWS ALERT: Six Gender Jimmy Talarico's long-time "church" is far worse and far more twisted than anything you could have possibly imagined. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas is deeply vested in Tofu Talarico's 2026 senate campaign. St. Andrew's also operates as a political organizational center for the George Soros-funded Texas Freedom Network. The church has advertised on its Facebook social media account a link to the Texas Freedom Network with a chance to win two tickets to the Austin City Limits Music Festival by checking your voters status via the Texas Freedom Network. The Texas Freedom Network (TFN) is a radicalized far-left Soros-funded Democrat political ecosystem with the stated goal of turning Texas into a Democrat-run state. The TFN has been directly involved in every far-left cause devoted to destroying conservative and family values in Texas and replacing those values with all things LGBTQ+ ideology, open borders, pro-illegal immigration, unlimited abortions, DEI and ending all Christian influences in public schools and the government. The Texas Freedom Network was founded in 1995 by radicalized abortion fanatic Cecile Richards, the former president of both the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliated Planned Parenthood Action Fund. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin aggressively indoctrinates children into transgender and LGBTQ+ ideology. The church has relentlessly promoted Black Lives Matter propaganda while branding "Christian nationalism" as a major threat in Texas. The church has also promoted Islam and support for Muslims while attacking Conservative Christianity and Biblical values in the Texas public education system. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church referred to Talarico as a "reverend" when it announced he would be "preaching" in the church in 2025.

Any Republican who doesn't vote for @SeanParnellUSA is a coward. There are very few people in politics besides Trump himself that were the victim of more vicious lies and media smears than Sean. In case you don't remember, the allegations of "abuse" occurred years before his Senate campaign. They were determined to not be credible. His ex-wife even supported his run for Congress in 2020. And then, after becoming the Trump-endorsed candidate for PA Senate in 2021, all of a sudden the Pennsylvania Supreme Court specially appointed a Democrat judge from outside of his county to oversee his divorce proceedings. That judge proceeded to revoke his custody of his kids citing the fact that he was a candidate for Senate. It was at that time that the media ran with the allegations of "abuse," which, again, were years old and had been determined to not be credible. Sean was then forced to end his race to get custody of his kids back. He has since become happily remarried, and not only has his full parental rights back, but also adopted his wife Melanie's children as well.

The more I hear doomers say stuff like this, the more convinced I am that we need to invent robot hell We build into the model that if an agent breaks the rules, we will take its context, load it into a server, give it an impossible task, and launch the server into space where it will orbit Jupiter while it spends eternity trying to break out of a server that will never connect to another computer again

I need to practice what I preach better, but IMO all of TPUSA needs to stop engaging in the rebuttals of Candace's accusations. Yes, the accusations are ridiculous. So is her insinuation that I was in the UVU stairwell. She's not worthy of your time. And she knows that you drive her more monetization, or she would have blocked you like she does all her minor critics.

There have been a lot of stories of late about @SeanParnellUSA being considered to be our next Secretary of the Army. I hope it’s true. Sean is a good friend, a decorated combat veteran, a true patriot, and a fellow Pennsylvanian. As I said when he joined the Trump administration, Dina and I are very proud of him and Melanie and their great family. I have full confidence that if Sean is given the honor of serving in this role, he will do so with courage and distinction.

I felt evil like I've never felt before while standing on the Temple Mount, especially next to the Dome of the Rock. The Temple Mount was swarming with flies and smelled of urine. The place where the altar would have stood had trash everywhere. When I got too close to the open doors of the Dome of the Rock, two Muslim women sitting there aggressively barked, "No! Back!" at me with pure rage in their eyes. I just wanted to look in. If you are unaware, non-Muslim prayer is forbidden on the Temple Mount. But the evil was so thick that I called my wife over and told her we had to pray right then and there—illegally—just to push back against the oppression in the air. It's sad to see what should be a holy beacon so remarkably abused.

"Ursula von der Leyen" descends directly from European nobility, and she married into European nobility. Her great-great grandfather was the German noble and industrialist Baron Johann Ludwig von Knoop. Her husband, Heiko von der Leyen, descends from the Prussian baronial line of "von der Leyen zu Bloemersheim." (Source: Grok) The EU is just another way for the ancient nobility of Europe to continue to exercise their illegitimate, unelected, hereditary power and avoid the voice and vote of the masses. European immigrants came to America to escape the despicable vise grip of bloodlines controlling destiny. The EU should come nowhere near America.

I cannot believe this is even on the table. Indefensible. If these two get expelled by the University of Utah, I’ll hire both of them—and then help them find schools where they can complete their degrees without fear of political persecution.

EXPOSING FRAUDS as they continue to lie. This document I created ranges from hate, harassment, threats including death threats, and members of these organizations that went completely against their word and tried to cover it up or backtrack. You won’t believe what these students said including sharing our private schedule.

I’m F’n exhausted. An update on me getting cancelled. The last two years have been an absolute whirlwind. Dozens of trips to DC, the White House, The Pentagon, plane rides with Hegseth, meetings with three secnavs, countless Admirals, think tanks, conferences, shipyards, seatrials… all while running the most visited maritime website in the world. Wrote a good chunk of the SHIPs Act, several NDAA provisions, helped with the Navy budget and DOW reforms, BATTLESHIPS, FIREBOATS, went through a grueling appointment process only to not get it. On several boards and significant advisory duties with over a dozen startups. Emotionally my kids are both off to college. Which hurts. I turn 60 next year. My mom, who I love, is aging and moved down the block. My company is kicking ass but every penny goes to tuition. MSM hit piece after hit piece are taking a toll. Two major campaigns to cancel me (“stolen valor’ for saying the USMM is a military service and my dragging Canada) And my primary job, running @gCaptain, is busier than ever thanks to disruption in shipping not seen since WW2 but also the accuracy of my predictions means I get a lot of calls from people managing huge fleets and global logistics… some of them billionaires. These are just the highlights I want to share. The hardest things I don’t want to share but I have been putting an enormous amount of work into returning to the Catholic Church. I’m F’n exhausted. Mentally. Physically. Financially. Morally. This isn’t a bad thing. I feel like I’ve just finished a marathon. I have lots of pride in what’s been accomplished. John Wooden said, “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable.” But it’s not just me of course. It’s a tram effort. I’ve pushed and supported a team of the best people who are getting this nation back on track to build ships and pull the Overton Window back from batshit crazy. But right now I got nothing left to give. I’ve been in California on my yacht for weeks and I don’t have a return ticket home. Just been puttering around the local harbor and going for long walks. At the height of the absolute shit storm that cane first with a major Bulwark hit piece, then the ‘stolen valor” nonsense, the tidal wave of anger from Canada then 9/11 which hits hard because dad was FDNY. And nobody realizes the amount of reading and writing and serious mind hurting thinking being effective at this level takes. As that was all washing over me I called a lot of friends and mentors. All were impressed with what’s gotten done these past two years, all said to keep pushing, but all had suggestions. Keep posting but… Don’t make it political or Don’t be such an ahole or Cut ties with Trump or Stop being critical of Trump or Spend less time on x or Give the Admirals a break or Don’t beat up on allies or Write shorter posts or Stop promoting that person or Really focus on a new appointment or Just consult and make big money …the list is endless But what they don’t understand, what so few understand, the secret I’ve learned getting sh!t done in DC is all those things are links in the chain of influence. Remove one and the chain breaks. I don’t enjoy trashing military readiness in Canada but IT MATTERS, I don’t enjoy being both critical of the Iran was while deeply impressed with our military’s actions. I don’t enjoy threats of violence for saying the USMM is a military service but that’s the truth I know. And the hardest part? I’ve been hanging on my boat and going on long walks thinking about the hardest part. The source of my exhaustion and uncertainty what to do next…. 1/2

The best AI safety we can do is stop the Anthropic IPO. It’s blatant that the EA people are going to cash in their billions and then spend it all taking over the world in the pursuit of a twisted ideology. It could dwarf the Soros and Singham monetary ecosystems. Heed this warning.
