A child raised to avoid losing becomes an adult who resents winners.
That is the pipeline.
Risk avoidance becomes envy.
Envy becomes politics.
Politics becomes a war on ambition.
@aelluswamy How can I join the โearly-accessโ customers? Iโve been an FSD user since mid 2022 when the access was gated with safety score. If thatโs not considered early users, idk what would.
@a_meta4 Good point, I hadnโt thought of that angle. But as far as insider tradings, I want the politicians trading millions to be accountable way more than a soldier that did a fraction.

We Japanese witnessed this more than half a century ago when we fought against the Americans.
When one of their military aircraft was shot down and the pilot found himself adrift alone in the vast Pacific, they did not hesitate to send out a Catalina flying boat to search for him and rescue him, despite the risk of being shot down themselves.
We were not capable of doing that.
And so we were defeated.
In that sense, the Americans have not changed at all since those days.
That is precisely what makes them America.
@amy787@MatthewDR@robotaxi@garyblack00 I think even that is giving him too much credits. At one point, Teslaโs goal and his bull thesis aligned (up to 20M car/yr by 2030). Once Tesla has shifted from that goal, GB has never been reasonable to listen to anymore.
