Thanks for sharing this! It perfectly captures a shift we’re starting to feel in Europe, too. The 'Delaware by default' trend seems to be fading. This morning, we posted a newsletter regarding the Romanian ecosystem, and we addressed this aspect. https://icebergplus.substack.com/p/2-the-brief

I’m particularly curious about your take on the 'inner sovereignty' aspect. Do you think states like Texas or Nevada are finally figuring out how to keep their own 'slice of the pie' by offering better local protections? It feels like founders are finally choosing sustainable growth at home over the prestige (and the massive headache) of jumping abroad too early. We already see some signals in Europe; here is an article I wrote about this topic. https://icebergplus.substack.com/p/2-the-brief

does the "collegiate class" generate the cadence of civilization, is it generated by it, or are they mutually cocausitive? the true chicken-and-egg question of the westphalian order.

this is the morphism between blue jeans, french semiotic philosophy, and the narrow inheritance lottery.

education of midwits who cannot benefit from it—can anyone? it seems those who can benefit from education educate themselves to unity without $100k (lowball for a provincial school) and, in times of peak gatekeeping like Paris 1250 and SF 2015, some are a credential which selects for trait conscientiousness and agreeableness.

but for civilization, it seems equivalent to the hypochondriac who look up symptoms until going to the hospital, wherein acquiring a nosocomal illness.

those who have beans to knead, may they knead the transient and eternal Meow

the Jevons paradox chart on token pricing is great; costs halve, usage doubles. still early innings for what this looks like at scale

Screw Delaware. The left made its way there.

Good timing as I was thinking about putting a project up to be more official with registering it someplace; I had done DE C-Corp in the past but had seen Elon’s break to other states and wasn’t certain as to why. But, his problems are definitely not my problems. LOL.
