anyone with taste more esoteric than me is a circlejerking schizophrenic. anyone with taste less esoteric than me is a slop producing brainrot consumer
They counted you out in Minnesota. They said you lacked heart and grit. When you came here you proved them all wrong. You became an All-Star. You became a defensive menace. Wiggins island had its many victims.
2022 Finals then came along, with you locking up Tatum, getting buckets securing boards, getting stocks, and taking over in G5, all leading to a chip.
Past few years haven’t been easy, especially for you. Just want to say we appreciate everything you’ve done here for this team, for helping solidify a dynasty.
THANK YOU WIGGS!!
A MF NBA CHAMPION!!!!
Prop 13 is so destructive to California municipal finances that wildfires actually *increase* property tax revenue
Burning a California city to the ground has minimal impact on its bond rating & only modestly negative net budget impacts from temporarily higher city spending 😬
The thesis of The West Wing was that civic-minded, Ivy-educated liberals, given the chance, would do a brilliant job of running the world.
The problem is when the people in charge are not civic-minded and only superficially intelligent, outfitted with the correct lingo.../1
Elon’s power lies not in his supposed inherited wealth nor his intelligence/work ethic/drive
He simply knows how to wrangle autistic engineers into doing what he wants better than any other living person on the planet
The baseline engineer is a very weak, frightful, and timid creature. This is why they chose engineering as a career path in the first place—it’s safe. They are deathly afraid of failure. They just want to not get yelled at, they don’t want the “bad thing” to be their “fault.” They are like sheep who get sick and die if they get stressed. If something they’re tasked with doing seems like it might fail, they will put all of their energy into crafting a rationale for why it’s impossible rather than actually making a good-faith effort at carrying out the task. They are masters of creating massive Rube Goldberg machines where the final output is an excuse.
Elon has no patience for this.
He sees through it. He is not a guy in a suit. The weakness of the suit guys is that they believe what the engineers tell them because the suit guys are ripping them off. They also don’t understand the natural sciences, so engineers have this power over them. “The naive autist who I’m ripping off can probably be trusted,” they think to themselves, not knowing any better.
But Elon is different. He speaks fluent autism. He questions their assumptions. He asks them to innovate on a solution, not just the excuse. “If this way is impossible, why not try it that way?” These simple framings cut through the autistic mind, which tends to hyperfocus and loop on figuring out how to solve an unsolvable puzzle rather than go out and find a more tractable puzzle.
It’s pure psychology.
Elon exists in the liminal space between autism and not autism, he is a cognitive diplomat of the highest order. That’s why he gets shit done. He is able to process crude unrefined autism into weaponized autism at a scale and efficiency that cannot matched by any other living human.
