I’m interested in history, law, bioethics & contemporary cultural conversations. "A human Chappie wrapper” & “a very interesting dinner guest”.

@GadSaad I’m in Jo’burg. Oddly enough today both you and your book came up as a topic of conversation with family at breakfast, following a PragerU 5min. clip.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

It’s important to have friends who occasionally disagree with you. Being surrounded by ‘yes men’ is potentially fatal.

@Olivia_LaGrange @DailyInvestorSA This is an outright lie. Justify it with supporting facts accounting for the DA's positions and the composition of the Council.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@Rian_Visser @DailyInvestorSA Do you have an interest in service delivery in Jo'burg?

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@IOL Tenderpreneurial looters are salivating. Government over-action is the problem. Remove race laws and red tape so we can save ourselves.

"I appreciate you." - Work colleague to me.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

Same. I have never in my entire life lived under a political majority at any government level which I voted for. I have also never been violent or sought to limit others' rights as a result. I was not raised to be a dogmatic fool in need of pacifying in the face of reality.

[Patricia Heaton @PatriciaHeaton]

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@dramadelinquent @eNCA Exactly. Well said.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@eNCA How reliable are the sources of all these historical narratives? I note that many black S.Africans problematically have notions from exclusively oral and unverifiable accounts.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

Prioritising quantity over quality may have its benefits, but I’m not a fan.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@RadioGenoa @JohnCleese “Immigrants” is not a race. Everything quoted here is valid.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@mailandguardian The problem is not the driver, it’s the direction of the bus. Anyone who would champion the ANC and its policies will wreck ZA.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@Will_Tanner_1 It was literally the same principle at play when South Africa elected Nelson Mandela and the ANC to power in 1994 and the world is still standing in that ovation. ☕️🐸

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@BusinessTechSA Anyone who thinks this is a good thing doesn’t understand freedom’s utilities (including incentivisation) or the destructive state’s incapabilities (including ‘no progress’). This isn’t caring; it’s pandering to leaches & a selfishness that will see everyone suffer as being fair.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

Can anyone help me out and name one good thing the Ramaphosa administration has done in the wake of the dark ages of the Zuma years?

[Luke @Luke_2316]

@lipaselance @BusinessTechSA God willing. 🙏🏻

@WesternJournalX To correct the man shouting his lie: The US marine broke his own arm in unlawfully refusing to comply.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

Iran’s possible intention to create a global fossil fuel crisis will incentivise its neutralisation on a global scale and weaken the support of any sympathetic allies. Iran’s desperate actions give credence to why it cannot be allowed to nuclearly proliferate.

[Luke @Luke_2316]

Iran is showcasing a masterclass in what not to strategically do. If you’re already at war with both the world’s greatest & the Middle East’s greatest military powers respectively, don’t overextend yourself on multiple fronts and attack 12+ other nations.
