Here's the amazing thing about written agreements: they are comprised of words we can all read and then form opinions about! It's really neat! So release the MOU text. Now. Don't keep it secret and then complain that people aren't trusting your version of events.
There was an interview with Sam Bankman Fried a few years ago where he bragged he only wore 3 t-shirts. That he didn't care about clothes. But he owned beautiful mansions all over the world and lavish apartments in New York and Paris.
So he walks around badly dressed on purpose making the public commons ugly for all of us, while owning beautiful homes he can enjoy in private.
It's this attitude that creates the modern ugly world. Make the public areas ugly. While enjoying beauty in private.
That's a new thing. Thankfully, we have beautiful cities from a long time ago that never adhered to that philosophy. We have wonderful paintings of people dressed spectacularly. Who cared about the aesthetic commons.

Our highest and most urgent national priority should be AI safeguards. The risks of AI weapons, pathogens, mass unemployment, surveillance, and even extinction must not continue to be largely ignored.
“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”
"Late Kakistocracy" is that phase of democratic decline where the regime starts running out of ppl who will work for it, and so the folks who aren't qualified for their current positions are promoted to even larger positions for which they are even more unqualified
The populist movement in America exposes themselves when they don’t realize it’s very normal for politicians to repeat quips and have prepared stump speeches. rambling for hours on end at a rally about your ball room is not the norm. #Retrvn
