A lot of people want to live in fear. They desire it. Oh, not openly of course, but it satisfies them in some way. It speaks to something deep within them.
The reality is most people are going to be quite content in their pod, eating bugs.

Something that is not explained adequately or at all by physicists is that there is absolutely no requirement that the so-called laws of the universe be unifiable. The idea of a “Grand Unified Theory” is extant because it’s beautiful (they think), not because such a thing is the only possible configuration.
It’s also possible that gravity and quantum mechanics (and other aspects of the universe) are incommensurate and can never be unified. There is no scientific problem with this if that’s the way the universe turns out to be.
I guess what proves I am not cynical enough and sociopathic enough is that if I were, I would’ve spent the last 15 years telling people it’s ok to be fat and unhealthy.
That’s where the real money was, and I couldn’t bring myself to go there.

I’ve linked to it before but here it is again. One of my favorite performances of all time:
And one of my favorite guitar solos, too. That’s not something you can teach, that kind of soul. You just have it or you don’t. And damn does she ever.
My ideal of free speech definitely clashes with my notion that every single person who works for Fox News should be arrested for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.
If we had an easy way to permanently leave the US, we’d’ve been gone long ago. I know I’ve said it already, but I’ll say it again and again probably.

Maybe he was hoping for defense in length?
This keeps getting scrubbed, but it's a prescient prediction by Ross Perot of how globalization would work in practice, from 1992.https://t.co/NYNY7ZJWwn

Perot was 100% right. Remember how much he got made fun of for this? It’s all been memory-holed now, both by liberals and conservatives. But he was completely correct.
He was kind of a right-ish Bernie Sanders, and for that he was torpedoed.
