Huh. I didn't know geohot commented on geopolitics


Would’ve been nice if he kept it that way. Good grief.


At least the site footer "A home for poorly researched ideas" is appropriate.


I will happily read his hot takes over Musk's.


Well he calls himself an "Elon swing voter", so their hot takes may be similar.

He comments a lot on politics, actually. He just makes intentional efforts to obfuscate them, likely because they are controversial (yet weird. The weirdness may be a part of the obfuscation).

My VERY TLDR of his political world view is that he thinks the current world politics are f'ed to an extremely serious degree, so much so that we are in "lets get rid of democracy" land, and I think he wants a technocratic authoritarian strongman/"hero" to enforce some sort of libertarian paradise.

Its those controversial, obfuscated, and wacky ideas mixed with a healthy tech focus that leads to an entertaining read.


Wow, didn’t even notice this was him. Don’t meet your heroes, kids.
