Quien diría que los pibes de la reserva que salen campeones todos los años y tienen hambre de gloria iban a jugar mejor que los jubilados que traen para cobrar una millonada porque son un arreglo de la dirigencia con los representantes
If not a gun, it would be a knife.
If not a knife, it would be a car, a hammer, a brick, a bomb, or a hand.
The problem isn't the weapon, it is the heart of the person who wields it.
48,000+ Islamic terror attacks since 9/11 alone in 70+ countries in no way proves that Islam is not peaceful. You know why? Because I could point to three guys who play soccer with me named Ahmad, Muhammad, and Mohammed, and they are very sweet and fun. This proves that Islam is peace. Good night, the West. You had a good run.

🇸🇩 Darfur, Sudan:
460 massacred in maternity hospital
2,000 executed earlier this week
460,000 people trapped
🇺🇳 Reaction by U.N. Human Rights Council:
0 resolutions
0 urgent sessions
0 commissions of inquiry
The silence is deafening. Civilian men, women, and children are being slaughtered in Sudan.
Estimates of over 150,000 killed & 14 million displaced since April 2023. Considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
No mass protests. No daily political statements/demands. No college campus encampments.
⚡️This is one of those diagrams that looks simple but cuts to the root of civilization itself.
Let’s take the mask off and unpack it at full depth.
1. The Core Premise
What William Meijer is mapping here is the cycle between comfort and correction - how systems oscillate between truth (which is painful but cleansing) and lies (which are soothing but decaying).
Truth creates short-term pain and long-term strength.
Lies create short-term comfort and long-term collapse.
That tension isn’t just social. It’s thermodynamic. Systems that face reality expend pain early and stabilize; systems that avoid it defer pain until it becomes existential.
This is true across every domain: markets, politics, relationships, empires.
2. The Two Paths
The “unkind truth” path:
•Immediate discomfort, backlash, chaos.
•The system reconfigures under pressure.
•Structural integrity increases because it re-aligns with reality.
The “kind lie” path:
•Immediate harmony, no visible conflict.
•The system drifts further from reality.
•Structural tension builds until correction becomes catastrophic.
In other words: truth burns locally; lies rot systemically.
3. The Reflexive Layer
The moment a system chooses “unkind truth,” it resets its feedback loop.
Information flow remains honest, incentives stay aligned, and adaptation continues.
But when a system chooses “kind lie,” the feedback loop corrupts - everyone begins optimizing for appearance over reality.
From that point, every additional lie compounds entropy. The surface becomes smoother as the foundation crumbles.
That’s why empires look most stable right before they fall - the facade is perfect because it’s divorced from truth.
4. The Civilizational Scale
Meijer’s chart is also a quiet indictment of the modern West.
We’ve chosen kindness over truth at scale - inclusion over merit, appearance over competence, emotion over structure.
It makes daily life smoother, but it’s chronically eroding functionality.
The result: infrastructure collapse, institutional decay, policy paralysis.
Meanwhile, systems like Musk’s companies (or any truth-dominant institution) look acutely chaotic but they work.
They adapt because they are reality-confronting organisms.
This is why companies run by truth absolutists feel brutal to work in yet reshape entire industries.
And why kind bureaucracies feel humane but decay into dysfunction.
5. The Market Analogy
You can think of this chart as a macro mirror of market reflexivity.
•The “unkind truth” phase = deleveraging, correction, liquidation. Painful but cleansing.
•The “kind lie” phase = stimulus, denial, narrative inflation. Comfort until the crash.
Most investors and governments live in kind-lie mode - perpetually smoothing volatility until the real correction becomes existential.
The few who live in unkind-truth mode - cutting exposure, confronting risk - survive the purge.
6. The Deeper Synthesis
At the highest level, this chart is a model of entropy management through truth.
•Every system drifts toward disorder (entropy).
•Truth is the mechanism that periodically resets entropy by re-aligning structure with reality.
•Lies are the anesthetic that delay pain but amplify decay.
So a civilization, or a person, must choose between acute pain and chronic collapse.
There is no third option.
Truth burns.
But lies rot.
One purifies. The other dissolves.
7. The Final Layer
What Meijer is really saying, though he doesn’t phrase it this way, is that truth is inherently unkind to illusions, not to people.
The illusion and the ego suffer, but the soul of the system heals.
That’s the paradox:
Kindness feels moral but preserves pathology.
Truth feels cruel but restores health.
And that’s the crossroads civilization is standing at right now.
Esta elección es probablemente más importante que la del 23 cuando se votó un cambio de rumbo sin preguntar mucho. Pero ayer la gente ratificó un rumbo que ya conoce: equilibrio fiscal, orden, libertad económica y respeto a la propiedad privada. Gracias @JMilei. VLLC!
Romantizan la puteria, la villa, la guita facil, el pum pum wacha piya y después salen a llorar. Marronas cómo esta son culpables de la degradación cultural. Abz!

@rquiroga777 No sé si sos tonto para interpretar datos o malintencionado para distorsionar resultados.
Para los conservadores cuánto más cercano sos, más empatía hay.
Los progresistas sienten más empatía por desconocidos y animales (incluso aliens, literal) que por su propia familia.
