Chasing TikTok users doesn’t build a better platform for writers. It builds a different platform entirely. The value proposition collapses when your infrastructure for thought becomes optimized for the attention economy. You can’t serve two masters. You either build a tool for writers or you build an app for dopamine hits. Once you choose the latter, you’ve already traded your audience.

Milei's crypto faceplant is a timely reminder that these guys can be defeated. The Tech Fascist project depends heavily on crypto. Our wannabe Silicon Valley overlords need their fake digital money to build a parallel financial system that can finance parallel forms of government.

Put simply, if you selected the correct door initially (which happens 1/3 of the time), you shouldn’t switch when you’re offered the chance. If you chose the wrong door initially (which happens 2/3 of the time), you should switch. 

This basic decision tree proves two things: the probability isn’t 50–50, and you’re better off if you always switch.
