DID I CRACK IT?
I think I figured out at least a chunk of the math.
It's trade deficit divided by their exports.
EU: exports 531.6, imports 333.4, deficit 198.2. 198.2/531.6 is 37, close to 39.
Israel: exports 22.2, imports 14.8, deficit 7.4. 7.4/22.2 is 33.
Interesting how it works… 🤔 In a February 28, 2025, interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, Musk described empathy as "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." He argued that excessive empathy, which he termed "civilizational suicidal empathy," could lead to decisions that harm society as a whole, such as misallocating resources or allowing exploitable vulnerabilities. Go figure 🤷♀️
