• Preserve and expand conscious life; increase human progress.
• Agency and speed beat bureaucracy; concentrate accountable leadership.
• We are entering a post‑app, agentic web; protocols/APIs endure.

• Free will is mostly illusion; law maintains order, not cosmic justice.
• Agriculture is neglected leverage; build the farm OS and automate labor.
• Develop taste via deep exposure; resist mimesis.
• American dominance is instrumentally moral toward survival; extraordinary executive action can be justified when necessary.
