@grantstein95 @charliekirk11 I don’t know.
It could have started 16 years ago and could theoretically start now.
Are you at all familiar with the concept of the “five year plan” (五年计划 ) in the China, or are you someone who is incapable of having a proper discussion?
You use perception and obfuscation. You have the weapon, position of authority (guard), a bullet and, as a guard, ability to exert control over their basic needs and mobility. Assuming the murderers are unaware that you only have one bullet you use that information gap to your advantage.
Divide and conquer.
Separate the murderers into isolated clusters and create the conditions to weed out their own with the threat of being eliminated and a high value incentive (food, freedom, necessities, wealth, etc).
Conditions being along the lines of:
1) Eliminate one of your own within a certain period or be eliminated at random.
2) Clusters are split and rotated to create a constant condition of mistrust and exacerbate tension within by streaming incentives/disincentives in each cluster.
Think Squid Games.
@DavidLeyonhjelm@elonmusk Autonomous drones don’t have to worry about bringing the pilot back and can be built at scale to be expendable and far more efficient. Past aircraft are designed around the pilot, but AI will outperform the pilot every time.
@2aHistory@elonmusk Believe you’d have “carrier” drones (air and sea) that host more cost efficient munitions/swarm drones. When you remove the manned component, you eliminate a whole host of systems and extend range and response dramatically.
Ads? Would be completely antithetical to the concept of a group of already highly successful but independent thinkers bashing their worldviews “All In” against each other and sharing their journey. Unfiltered and unbiased.
Monetize that forum with ads and the entire premise of the discussion is put into question imo. Questions arise… why do they need ads? Are these advertisers influencing their interests? Are they pumping their own bags? Etc.
Friedberg is on point - no ads. Do humanity a solid, the attention economy will reward each of you far more than ads ever will anyway.
In theory, since it appears that the government can technically coin money and regulate the value thereof, but not directly emit bills of credit… could they not be able to mint a quadrillion or quintillion “dollar” coin 🪙?
We already know there is no necessary or required correlation between a coins stated face value and the value of the underlying material (e.g. gold, silver, platinum). That is why the 2024 American Gold Eagle has a face value of $50 when, in fact, the market value of the physical metal is far in excess of that in “dollars”.
This would make this conversation entirely moot, no? Ultimately it’s semantics? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Gangs have taken control of several of our properties in Aurora, Colorado.
In an attempt to discredit this fact for political purposes and avoid governmental accountability, some have spread false information about our situation. Let’s set the record straight...🧵
Absolutely. The biggest misconception pushed on the public is that America is somehow anti-immigration… patently untrue.
The issue is, and remains, the nature of an immigrant's arrival and whether it can be characterized as fair, vetted, and orderly. Can we do better? Indeed, and it would look nothing like what we have now.
The process we have in place today is disenfranchising prospective immigrants who are going through the process legally, and by incentivizing the wrong things, we have openly invited those who wish to exploit it. The rest have little choice but to sit idly by as they watch those arriving “undocumented” or via questionable asylum policy (TPS) ushered in and showered with program perks and benefits with no real consideration for cultural and social integration.
Perhaps we should not be so quick to dismiss Poland’s policy position and be more mindful of the second-order effects of our decisions. on’s.
SO… it appears that it was WILLFUL LAWFARE and election interference.
I honestly gave the benefit of the doubt to the judicial process and the government during this entire process (as many have). I trusted that the accusations were, at a minimum, credible. I had no reason to do otherwise!
The truth is that this case should have NEVER been brought—an utter waste of taxpayer money and a complete disaster to the government's reputation.
I’m probably not alone in highlighting that this [high profile] case and a few others have entirely altered my perception of justice and the system designed to uphold it. It is now apparent that activists and legislators are hustling and working the bench, and that has profoundly perverted and weaponized an entire branch of government.
The case was not credible! There was ZERO FRAUD and no harm. The whole case was a steaming pile of horse 💩 from its inception.
As an American, one should be most upset that the institutions designed to protect and uphold the integrity of OUR Republic have been corrupted and are colluding with external interests.
Is “Democracy is under attack”? Yes! By the wolves in sheep’s clothing that claim they are defending it! It is sinister and putrid.
