I mean... if Musk wants to speedrun Starlink getting banned in every civilized country, I suppose that's his prerogative.
He's really boring and fake. I tried to listen a few times because he gets good guests but he ruins his own podcasts.
Not to distract from the obviously tragic events here, but there was a name in that article that had me giggling. Dude really does wear many hats.
I think she resembles that Jabba the Hutt-looking TikTok troon behemoth more than anything.
Appropriate:
Is it really surprising the people who need to be biologists to know what a woman is need millions of dollars to know how men work?
Fake how? I get the impression that he really is as sappy and naive as he presents himself, but I don't know much about the guy's personal life or foibles. All I know is his dad is a full professor at Drexel and that helped his academic career, but you don't get a tech research position at MIT if you're a bumbling idiot.
This has to be another money laundering operation. If you're in such a bubble that you forget how to talk to people, you don't need classes on how to socialize with your average person. You need to deprogram yourself from whatever cult you're in.
By “black hole,” what he means is that the plane has been in his ass. He got it in up to the wings.
“No nation, be it the United States or China, can now easily thwart this momentum, for any attempt to do so would bear but minimal consequence upon India’s economy.”
I don't like his crypto+soy+ai+autism+atheism angle. I only watched a few of his videos back in 2020 (I think one of them was a Neil DeGrass Tyson interview), but every time I watched one I can't shake the feeling he would enjoy living in the pod, eating the bugs, owning nothing, and was trying to make that "utopia" come to fruition.
Am I missing something? This is just parody?
I never got the impression that he was pro-globohomo, but he does have a soy techbro vibe so I understand that. What bugs me about him are the sappy and naive questions he asks some people, but I do enjoy the episodes of him and Michael Malice. I disagree with Malice's politics quite strongly, but I do love his shitposting and his work on North Korea and Soviet predations are commendable.
That's a significant part of his appeal, "appeal to authority." "This guy is smart so his words are smart" but listening to his podcasts he says really dumb shit just to say it and sound smart, it's obnoxious. Same with the "intellectual dark web" group or whatever they snootily call themselves.
He's one of those people who talks like he does 500 things every day and is a super human. I haven't listened to him in years so have no recent example, I don't like his presentation.
Some people get it a little twisted with all the illegal immigration in the past few years. America has always accepted legal immigrants who actually do dream of being an American through and through. It's not as funny of a position to take as "all browns in the oven." but it's real life and not a meme. I've met lots of legal immigrants that are very good people and I'm glad to have them here, it's a whole different story when you start talking about the people who made a point to come here illegally that sit outside of Home Depot all day looking for dubious work or fresh white women to rape and murder.
My point is not to appeal to authority, but rather to point out that he's probably not a complete retard. That's all. I will agree that the "intellectual dark web" is dumb and douchey. Sam Harris is a moron and Eric Weinstein is very bully-able. The level of desperation for attention and validation that they demonstrate blows Lex out of the water, in my opinion.
Fair enough.
Maybe he's changed in the last four years, but he's always given me the question that he's a naive golem who only engaged in first order thinking.
I know. I feel the same way. But don't give in to the doomers. It could still pop off again at any moment and they both have nukes.
No, i was dead serious making that post, i'm like 99 percent sure with enough time, you could reasonably jerk off (it'd be painful, i'm not arguing that), but it is possible.
You are not wrong here, however, consider that in this scenario, they are in the 2nd circle of dante's inferno, right? Meaning they can't die, nor pass out or sleep. Eventually, their muscles would get used to the sensation. it'd take a while.
Did it ever say in any of Dante's (or really, any religious depiction of hell), that limbs would be regenerated? Also, dying would be Impossible in hell. your already dead, how would your soul move on?
I'll give you a AMEN on that brother
Progresives talking to men be like
The nothing ever happens bros can’t keep winning
Completely agree. At a certain point you have to be pragmatic. It’s a little like abortion imo, liberals are dooming that everything they want isn’t being forced on the whole country anymore, even though avoiding a total ban should be a great victory for them. But no, they want it all. (I don’t want to kick off a derail but that’s the first comparison that came to mind.) Personally I’d love if the border were shut and TND were enacted but if that’s your only win condition you’ll be perpetually disappointed.
