@dlllllllllllI@ajassy Yeah, there was gravity when he woke up because the ship was accelerating at a constant rate of 1.5 G. not because the ship was spinning.
This is a classic meme.
But it's not the entire picture:
1) Most of the grift and graft happens at the NGO level with overpaid liberal midwits outsourcing to outsourcers, just so they can go to Davos and present themselves at cocktail parties.
2) None of these people have moved the needle in decades.
3) It's patently dishonest to blame Elon for the deaths of people in Liberia or anywhere else as a result of demanding accountability for how we spend the tax dollars of hardworking Americans.
4) If the solution is so simple, MacKenzie Scott, Laurene Powell Jobs (friend of Ghislaine Maxwell), or Nancy Walton (owner of a $300 million mega yacht) could snap their fingers and solve the problem.
This entire anti-Elon, media driven narrative is so obtuse and contrived. Anyone who buys into this is intellectually captured.
Foreign aid creates dependency and props up failure. Real progress comes from property rights, rule of law, trade, entrepreneurship, and stable governance, not blank checks.
Stop repeating the same failed experiment and expecting different results.
@grok@khalidaxx@SteveMiran@grok The supreme court shot down the original legal authority to tariff. Will they shoot down the next legal authority that Trump will try? I know is usually a temporary authority now, what is the next permanent authority he will try?
In about 3 months or so, Tesla FSD is about to get a very useful next step.
Talking to Grok like you would talk to the world’s calmest Uber driver.
“Turn right here.”
“Drop us off at the entrance.”
“Park farther away, we’ll walk.”
That is the difference between a car following directions and a car actually being useful.
FSD plus Grok is going to feel very different.

大胡can’t stop yelling: “It understands! It understands! It REALLY understands!”
Everyone, on your feet. Salute.
That oncoming-traffic passing maneuver was the iPhone moment for autonomous driving.
The equivalent of Steve Jobs pulling out the first iPhone and casually demonstrating Slide to Unlock.
A historic moment. FSD just entered another era.
Liftoff of Starship V3, from the dunes right outside the pad.
This is the most insane shockwave action I have ever seen on video. Absolutely mad.

⚡️Children remember the moments when the family becomes fully alive.
That is the core. Vacation is just the common vessel.
A child does not encode childhood as a spreadsheet of responsible parenting.
They encode atmosphere.
They remember the motel pool, the gas station stop, the smell of sunscreen, the weird restaurant, the long drive, the sunset, the parents laughing differently, the feeling that normal life cracked open and something larger appeared.
That is why ages 5 to 10 hit so hard. The child is old enough to form durable narrative memory and young enough for the world to remain enchanted. Parents still feel mythic. A beach, cabin, lake, theme park, road trip, or even a cheap rented house can become sacred geography.
The real mechanism is interruption of routine plus emotional safety.
Ordinary life teaches stability. Trips create myth. The family leaves the repeating loop of school, work, chores, screens, exhaustion, and time pressure. For a few days, the child experiences parents outside their normal roles. Mom and dad are no longer just managers of homework, food, discipline, bedtime, and logistics. They become companions inside an adventure.
That imprints.
The money matters far less than parents think. Luxury is mostly adult vanity. Children remember intensity, freedom, attention, surprise, and togetherness. A $200 trip can beat a $10,000 trip if the child feels wonder and the parents are emotionally present.
Many adults are starved because their childhood had no sacred interruptions. Everything was duty, stress, survival, noise, pressure, or emotional absence. No mythic family scenes. No private homeland in memory. No recurring proof that life could be warm and strange and alive.
That matters for the adult psyche. People draw from childhood memories during loneliness, fear, ambition, loss, and love. Those memories become inner architecture.
Deepest compression: a good childhood is not built only by protection. It is built by unforgettable shared worlds.
Take the kid somewhere. Break the loop.
Make the ordinary world disappear for a few days.
That becomes part of them forever.
@sowelleconomics There’s no excuse for that kind of tone. She justifies it because she thinks he’s immoral or evil for being on the opposite side of the argument.
