Even dickheads love their dogs. Find a way to connect to those you disagree with. “The obvious mistakes of those who find themselves in opposition are to break off relations with those who disagree with you,” texts Vera Krichevskaya, the co-founder of TV Rain, Russia’s last independent TV station. “You cannot allow anger and narrow your circle.”

Pay in cash. Ask yourself what an international drug trafficker would do, and do that.

He’s thinking about flying a SpaceX rocket to Mars and raping and pillaging its rare earth minerals before anyone else can get there. We need a 30-year road map out of this.

Take the piss. Humour is a weapon. Any man who feels the need to build a rocket is not overconfident about his masculinity. Work with that.

So basically a reminder that, beyond all the mind killer politics memesphere we have integrated into our cortex, the other is also a human being and as such, we have the same capacities/capabilities as them and they have the same capacities/capabilities as us as neither are superior to each other.

Huh.

I don't think that will fit here

The writing is very reminiscent of a satire piece. You can see that from the parts I quoted.

There are reasons to build a rocket other than fragile masculinity.

Take the piss and make jokes about what he'll do with them (rape and pillage)? Absolutely. That's the fragility: his plan for wealth and power is entirely dependent on stealing it from the neighbors. Just as he's been taking all of the federal and investors' cash in exchange for memes for the past few decades. He doesn't produce anything of value himself.

I mean, we could also actually tear it down, but that's not going to happen, so I guess that's good advice.
