@afncwoodward Thanks Chris 😁👍

@ProperlyZuri You may have known that, but super cool to know especially being catholic and all

Blew my mind when I found out that tidbit

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@ProperlyZuri Discovery is the Daft Punk album Interstella was made of, I mean the same videos you're talking about.

'Veridis quo' is a rephrasing of the Latin for 'whither goest thou,' Peter's question to Jesus before the crucifixion. It reads like, 'Very Disco,' re the titular Discovery 😯

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@vereen_themed @coldxman Fair enough, I suppose I may be rejecting the denotation of paranoid then. But to be more specific: given only the information that institutional medical abuses have been perpetrated in the past, extreme skepticism is warranted and is only "paranoia" given the greater context

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@jessinicoleb I hear you.
I feel like radical acceptance of the non-aggression principle fails at critical places, like genocide. If a population is being massacred, violent force is justified to stop it even if it's not you being targeted. The same is true say in the individual case of murder

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@lastsaskliner @coldxman The last thing you want to do with a paranoid person is attack their paranoia

Acknowledging a base level, mutual rationale is a step to trust and truth

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@lastsaskliner @coldxman Sure, and we should be clear on the exact abuses and their distinction from vaccination. But there's still justification for concern - government supported medical experts have been A. dishonest and B. criminally negligent toward whole populations. It is rational to be leery

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@ProperlyZuri Yes.

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@jessinicoleb I know you're trolling and I'm not trying to take the piss, but I'm curious

How much room do you see in the libertarian 'tent' for ideas about defense of freedom by force, and can you point to a specific line along which you object to 'opening the tent' to neoconservatism

[John Michael @JockAngle]

@jessinicoleb This kind of group categorization turned me off of the duopoly and toward the libertarian space.
I identify partly as neocon on the basis that free human life sometimes demands protection by force. Eg, powerful free nations should not just sit back and watch genocide happen

@StephenKing Stephen this is footage from Curiosity, not Perseverance - also the sound is faked, it's not from the rover
