Nuclear power was also an Industrial revolution. Look how that turned out Going forward is also how you get into dead ends. Sometimes it takes a while to get there, but you get there by going forward The only way to win is to not play -War Games Unironically, a movie about nuclear power and AI

This might be a weird take, but I wish people wouldn’t use this. Birds , especially that big, are legitimately dangerous. I mean, fuck trump, but being afraid of birds is the smart move. It’s weird to use him and smart in the same area.

On the No Lie Podcast a guest said “We all want to be billionaires” NO NO NO NO That’s like saying we all want to be obese. Healthy, secure, calm, happy. These things all can all be found somewhere before “I need so much that it consumes me and deprives someone else, and is unnecessary”

Imagine that…. A single man can hold the entire country in the palm of his hand…and shake it violently. Lucky for him it isn’t an ant hill. Just one man. Apparently, unstoppable 🤷🏽‍♂️ Can’t we put it in someone else’s palm? Better yet, in the people’s hands Is there no vote that can be held?

Anybody take note of that part of the 1st Dune movie where the Harkonnen soldiers discuss killing the hostages. 1: can’t we just kill than? 2: no we’ll just leave the to the desert to die. That way, we can honestly say we didn’t kill them It feels a lot like that We’re being endangered to death

When you defund and disengage the support systems of the country, what do you expect to happen? “I didn’t kill them” “but you did cut the ropes on the bridge” “Budget cuts were required, who knew it would fail, I blame the DEI rope companies” FFS 🤦🏽‍♂️ Hurry, while e we still have a free hand.

Is the dirty little secret of CEO pay that they feel the need to stay competitive? With no limit, the greediest of the greedy escalate without end And it falls to precedent, that in-turn scrapes the bottom to feed this race. But has no impact on inflation? Is it price of eggs or price of CEOs

The Constitution is premised on sharing without extremes. It’s base mechanism is to prevent the easy unbalancing of power. Not perfect, and now, no longer balanced. Everything caves to the highest bidder and yet also, the lowest bid. We need a place between “enough” and “too much”

Imagine having a president lead by whatever gets him hard… In this case, it’s: The death penalty Punishing Panama Buy Greenland Revenge Fcking weirdo. You couldn’t tell just by his pursuit of wealth and not even the tiniest sign of altruism.

Uh, why do corporations need tax breaks. They have enough to pay CEOs millions. But they raise prices/increase revenue and hold down pay at the bottom Well, which is it? You have enough but you can’t cover costs. So you need help? I guess they don’t have enough to pay CEOs what they really deserve?

Meditation: “Takers” Do you think of the poor or disadvantaged? It wouldn’t come as a surprise, that has been the popular framing. Is anyone getting rich that way. You’d almost think that taking is a path to wealth. It is.. but the frame should be on the wealthy. 2BC

Cont. It’s not a matter of legality. I question the act of accepting/taking huge sums of money, relative to the people who make up the functioning framework supporting you. That’s next level taking. The poor? Rank amateurs by comparison. Show em how it’s done, billionaires!
