This is superb.
The lesson begins with the usual catechism: J.K. Rowling has “bigoted opinions”.
Then someone makes the unforgivable mistake of reading what she actually wrote.
Suddenly, certainty requires definitions. Slogans require evidence. “Everyone knows” requires rather more than everyone saying it.
Critical thinking really is murder on a fashionable consensus.
@LeadingReport Despite being here illegally… what you’re saying is “nearly 40%” aren’t doing additional illegal activities… so more than 60% are? Got it.
🇫🇷 THIERRY HENRY: “¿Cómo demonios es eso fuera de juego? Lo he visto una y otra vez, y todavía no entiendo cómo el árbitro y el VAR llegaron a esa decisión. Ese gol debería haber contado.”
“Esto es exactamente por lo que los aficionados están perdiendo la confianza en el VAR. La tecnología se introdujo para corregir errores obvios, no para crear controversias aún mayores.”
“A Colombia le han robado un momento enorme. No puedes anular un gol así en el escenario más grande sin estar absolutamente seguro. Por lo que hemos visto, no había nada claro en esa decisión.”
“El árbitro no solo anuló un gol, les quitó la emoción, la celebración y un momento potencialmente definitorio del Mundial. Eso es devastador para cada jugador y aficionado colombiano.”
“Si este es el estándar de arbitraje en un Mundial, entonces el fútbol tiene un problema serio. El árbitro y el VAR tienen que responder por una decisión que podría cambiar todo un torneo.”
Kimbal Musk explains United States Government wants to pay $1 billion dollars per rocket launch
SpaceX came along and said no, the price is way lower at only $50 million
US Government pushed back and wanted the cost $1 billion dollars per launch
“Government would say, "But we'll pay you $1 billion. We just want you to do it our way." No, but that's the wrong way. You have to do it this way. It's $50 million. We were very happy with that price. The government was like, "No, we don't want that." And we actually couldn't believe it. We're like, "But you must want it for a lower price." Actually, they didn't care that much about price.”
Basically it works like this
Old defense contractors can spend as much as they want and the government will pay that amount plus 10%. That means they have an incentive to make the launches as expensive as possible
SpaceX said here’s a fixed price of $50 million and if we can do it cheaper then we can keep the extra money
This is a much better incentive system because it saves taxpayers a huge amount of money and SpaceX gets rewarded for making launches cheaper
if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…
Fellas, I’m not too sure it’s a good sign when the correlation between the rape rate and the “we give them free money” rate is not only positive, but exponential.
What we are witnessing is the wearing off of the Blue Pill. The matrix is becoming visible. It will soon be common knowledge—the default assumption. Unfortunately, that alone does not destroy its control. We will have to do that. Welcome to the Nebuchadnezzar.
