A blend of backhanded compliments with the truth. Compliments that grow slightly more sincere as the evening goes on punctuated by the cusp of offensive.
Let he who is without sin.. one thing I'd say to the bot or puritan who writes these things is you're not as nice as you think you are. You're afraid to be human.
Long story short comfortable wealth sinks like a stone like the Spanish Empire when they discovered all that gold in South America. What arose thereafter was centuries of backwardness and decline cumulating in Franco. But in the modern world things happen faster. What once took centuries to occur now takes decades.
If more of the fat cats were the same age as Musk we wouldn't be fearing this virus. We need to be rich enough to have a voice but most fat cats are 78 and they got rich during an era where capitalism was cosy and generations were too big to fail. Musk is more like the old captain of industry his business will improve the world. He earned that money.
Rich enough not to die at 33 with rotten teeth in a puddle of my own piss. But its all relative. That not happening means you're fabulously rich historically speaking until we reach the position we are in today. Those who reach 70 get there with ridiculous ease until such time that those geriatrics murder their grandkids to dodge flu. None of posterity is comfortable with the wealth of generation never had it so good.
Of the best intentions I ever met one was crippled and both are now dead. Life strikes me as significantly random, maybe the times have a karma of their own bigger than any of us.
Improve gun safety technology so that only the registered owner can fire it and train the police to fight like a man. To have fewer guns in the wrong hands requires a police to win a fistfight, the odds of killing someone you didn't need to go way down.
One of the reasons for police brutality in America is the number of guns lying around, clearly it raises the stakes.
And the best are the quislings. Men from Europe so besotted with America theyd have us be more like them even when it's really bad. To come from a green and pleasant land and be Draconian for Draconians sake. There's a reason British police don't do brutality to the same extent and that's because Britain is less dangerous. It would be pointlessly barbaric to hold American attitudes here to be that defensive when much less under threat.
And maybe even a robot jury if the forums are anything to go by. You already know what people are going to say before they say it, it ain't half predictable when people only say a thing when there's something to be got by it.
I don't see the powers that be destroying the human race by design but it could do so by accident.. there's no coming back from a mistake an error in the civilisations plan. All integrated everyone dependent leaves no room for second chances.
Events from a book I read as a little child 'The War in 2020' have not come to pass. Described as the military equivalent of Orwell's 1984 the United States and the Soviet Union find themselves in an alliance against Oriental and Islamist forces.
I always found cats a bit too arrogant but my own tabby really come into his own since he lost a leg. He's not just something Ive kept because you don't have to walk it although there's always that.
If you had to keep guns lying around the place you'd want everyone to be a Japanese woman. A man with tropical blood is the last thing you want if you had to keep guns lying around the place.
First time around could be worse than flu, the second time he didn't even notice. How badly you react the first time gives a rough idea of how susceptible you are to catching it again although it'll be less than a flu by then.
The hive comes with a certain efficiency at the risk of making tremendous mistakes. It happens in nature where the hive annihilates itself on the orders of a mad queen. The rise of the east blazes new pathways to this Oriental despotism - a race of people that follow the leader to whatever end. Everything within the hive, nothing against the hive.
And if you are vulnerable make your own arrangements, take personal responsibility for your own health. We are that point where inheritance and taking out a loan in your childrens name cannot be sustained. Posterity doesnt just have to pay its own way it will have to pay for its parents way too. What this means is that we'll have to take risks and face dangers, money is not a cosmic energy that flows towards us after our parents die. For the first time in 75 years there is no one else to pick up the tab for the way we live our lives, we must reverse 75 years of Mickey Mouse.
Cowards survive wars. That's my explanation for why the west has gone beyond feeble and actually turned quite nasty. Whats happened is a period of being unsustainably insured in a bubble that will burst with a vengeance. Homelessness, poverty and violence are the true cost of the insurance premium. Appeasing the fears of an aging population will most probably result in war civil or otherwise. The only way to avoid these things is to grasp the nettle and not defer.
And it's an argument against war because cowards survive wars and coward genes proliferated from 1945 onwards. It takes generations of genetic randomness to reset us to people who can sacrifice and face an ordeal. Bravery genes were wiped out and yet we still live in an imperfect world, a world that is not risk-free a world where you can not be insured against any and every eventuality.
And white kudos is a problem because white makes right in the eyes of Africa. They may take the pandemic as seriously as geriatric westerners because those geriatrics are white. In contrast to the white guilt at home much of the world looks at white skin as a reason to believe you. They have an incredibly outdated view of westerners one where it's still a worthy elite.
