@wholemars It still can't park in my garage and doesn't park close to store entrences which I like, so my steak never gets very high! A lot of room for improvement but it is fantastic.
@mattgaetz The only "war" Israel asked you to "fight" is help with bombing the nuclear enrichment they couldn't reach which is really a threat to the US itself and the entire global order. Outside of that Israel doesn't want you in any way associated with their wars.
@hypersna@Sousinr That is incorrect, it's ideas and execution that can garner large profits likely by solving problems. That's what gets investment. If you are first to market then you capture that market if you continue innovating. You are by default ahead of everyone else.
Elon Musk was asked at a private dinner what he thinks about when he can't sleep at night. The table expected him to say Mars. Or AI. Or some engineering problem he was working through. His actual answer made the room go quiet.
He said he thinks about whether he's a good person. Not whether his companies are successful. Not whether the rockets will fly. Whether he, as a human being, is good.
He said the question terrifies him because he doesn't know the answer. He said by most conventional measures he's failed at the things that make someone good. He wasn't there for his kids. He hurt the women who loved him. He drove employees past their limits. He made decisions that prioritized the mission over individual human beings every single time.
He said the defense he tells himself is that the mission is bigger than any individual. That the suffering he caused is justified by the future he's building for eight billion people. But he admitted at that dinner that some nights the defense doesn't hold. Some nights the math doesn't work. And he lies there knowing that "I'm building a better future" might just be the story a workaholic tells himself to avoid confronting the damage.
The richest and arguably most impactful man alive isn't sure he's a good person. And the honesty of that doubt tells you more about his character than any rocket launch ever could. The people who are certain they're good rarely question it. The ones who question it at 3am might be the ones actually trying.
That's not the argument. The question is why do you care so deeply about these deaths and not those? If you are morally honest then you have to answer that question. This situation is even more stark as the dead civilians are similar, the only difference is in where the deaths came from and that says everything about their philosophy and lack of moral consistency.
