Character arcs kinda vague nowadays. You really gotta go through the trenches to get it down as a new writer.

@spqr_sulla The movie draws a line between Love and Romance. The former is true and real, while the latter is presumably) a distortion. Despite his words, the movie makes the case that the love (Romance) the MC wanted is of a fundamentally distorted nature.

When the idea of a military parade to showcase American power was raised, President Eisenhower gave a blunt response:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Looking back we will be forced to acknowledge that it is a major problem that so many of the leading voices in AI, on all sides of the debate, have adopted moral frameworks and lifestyles profoundly at odds with what most ppl consider necessary to lead a good and worthwhile life

@FischerKing64 I mean, as far as secular cycles go America isn't in the worst case scenario. Besides, Caesar too was an oligarch of the Late Roman Republic.

The 'nothing will ever happen' crowd should always be ignored, as a rule.

it's been said
"There are decades where nothing happens; and then there are weeks where decades happen", and it's so plainly the truth.

Our clever foes have worked desperately to keep one hundred different lids on one hundred different kettles, swiftly coming to a boil..
and yes, for years, they've managed it..

but to assume they'll be able to do this indefinitely, forever, is the most historically illiterate (and defeatist, and nihilistic, and illogical) stance imaginable.

Don't be the small, demoralizing fool, at the moment when the opposite is most needed.

Elon Musk's first wife is what contributed to me understanding that individual women are often simply too small for a great man.

Imagine this: you are on your path to becoming one of the most important men in the history of human civilization, yet there's no way your wife can even conceive of this fact. There's no way she'll ever see you as anything else than the father of her 1-3 babies, an entrepreneurial weirdo, and an okay provider.

No matter whether you're about to become a trillionaire, she'll still be defiant and complain about the fact that you were rude once or that she doesn't want another pregnancy or that you're not home often enough.

At some point, the economics of it become absolutely unsustainable dickwise. The male is stuck with the following choice:

1. Nagging for the rest of his life. No more babies. Possibly incapable of growing wealth further due to the detrimental effect of the nagging on his testosterone.

2. Infinite pussy just knocking at your door each more sexy and intelligent than the last, willing to serve you in producing 4x the children you already had and suck your cock every day like it's a gift from God.

Just how long do you think you could stick to #1?

Many times in my life I've stuck to #1 out of ideological stubborness. However, I also did not take shit from a nagging woman knowing that if she left me because I didn't take her abuse, then #2 wasn't so terrible after all.

I understand Elon's "I'm the alpha in this relationship" moment. It's not exactly what people think. It's not about controlling his wife. It's about Elon knowing that he could not possibly become his best self under the cognitive oppression of a nagging wife. It's about him reminding her that there is something like a trillion dollar at the end of the tunnel, but that if she's too dumb to see it, he'll have to go at it alone.

Sometimes a wife is just a burden that will leave herself behind, as if nature knew that it was better this way. Women should reflect on why they are so unpleasant to be with that men outgrow them in this way.

@ShitpostRock2 At this point every isekai or isekai-adjacent work is really fanfiction of some story I've never laid my eyes on. Some "meta-narrative" that comes about when every generic story in the subgenre begins to merge into one.
