TOPPING THE LIST FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW: The Fury by Anduril
The Fury by Anduril
I get it, this is a big ask, so I’ve assembled a few reasons to help Anduril justify this deeply meaningful gift to me. As follows:
- Holiday Spirit with a Twist: Christmas is about unexpected gifts, and what’s more unexpected than getting me a high-performance, multi-mission autonomous air vehicle designed for advanced combat and surveillance roles.? This is a truly unique way to celebrate the season while also promoting Anduril’s capabilities.
-
Symbolic Gesture: Mr. Luckey has a penchant for dramatic and symbolic actions; giving me a Fury makes a statement about the importance of private companies in national defense AND a nod to people like me who support his vision.
-
Public Education: Gifting me a Fury spotlights how autonomous drones enhance home (and national) security. I’ll need a new garage but the details can be sorted later.
You’re not just giving a gift; you’re making an investment in my life, health, security, and social responsibility, which makes this extraordinary gift justified and beneficial.
2. Pretty much anything from Two Palms Press:
You’ve had a GREAT year or you’re celebrating a milestone in your life. Gifting me a timeless piece of art from Two Palms could be seen as your legacy! A gift for me to pass down, to tell stories about, or for me to simply enjoy for years to come.
Two Palms works with some of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists to publish prints and sculpture multiples in its studio and showroom in SoHo. Pro tip: they’re real serious about that ‘appointment only’ thing.
3. A blue boat. Specifically a blue 43′ Pardo. “The New Icon of the Sea”
Christmas is about creating unforgettable moments. A Pardo Yacht offers a unique setting for holiday celebrations, from festive sea voyages to hosting Christmas parties in style. My family and I will think of you at least once a year. And, it’s a sustainable gift. Pardo’s focuses on eco-friendly designs!
4. Nice socks.
A gift that needs no explanation. Word of caution, my wife may have beat you to the punch on this. And, I do not like going to stores to return gifts.
5. My very own humanoid from Apptronik.
Talk about practical gifts made right here in Texas. A humanoid can do practically anything these days. Companionship, utility, assistance, educational value and entertainment; show me a better gift idea. Come on, Jeffrey C! Hit me back please.To quote Andrew Côté from Twitter:I want robots I want robots so cheap they’re piling up like garbage Robots so adaptive they form feral packs in the woods Robots so durable they watch geology flow like water Robots so wise they face tragedy with a knowing nod I want REAL robots and I want them NOW
Stocking stuffers
6. Less hair products in my shower.
7. AI that works exactly like I want it to work.
8. World peace.
9. A +7.5x DPI of my alt portfolio. (DPI= Cumulative Distributions / Paid In Capital)
10. I’d really like the idea of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to work. The US deficit scares the shit out of me.
With zero exaggeration and with all sincerity, the only thing I want for Christmas is for my family and friends to feel truly loved, and for them to be safe, healthy, and happy. I wish the same for you. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.
