I share some personal views on another Trump presidency and allow myself a moment to indulge in some optimism. We get into the concept of America's decline, comparing it to the fall of Rome, and explore the potential for continuation of the empire. I riff on the commentary of Peter Thiel on Bari Weiss’s show, Trump’s Rogan appearance, Michael Goldstein on the Art of Bitcoin Rhetoric, the Kurt Steiner piece on American Empire: A Morale Project, and Isaac Simpson’s piece on the El Segundo Hard Tech movement.
