A smart man always knows what to say, a wise man knows when not to say it.

It’s the life equivalent of typing out a comment only to then delete it and move on.

Just because you know something, or know a better way, doesn’t mean you have to tell everyone. That mental exercise plays into my other tool: Let them.

Let them be wrong, let them fill the silence they created, let them get bent out of shape, and let them try to figure it out. Sometimes, they’ll get to where you already are; other times, they’ll figure out an approach you didn’t even consider, or you’ll realize that you were the one who was wrong the whole time. Let people be people. Listen, look, learn, and then, when you’re ready, when it’s needed, lead.

Oh, and don’t give people answers to questions they didn’t ask. They’re less likely to listen to you. When they’re ready for the answer, they’ll ask.

It was tough not to delete this comment, but I’ll let the paradox stand as is.

In America, perjury is inversely proportional to your financial value.

This is America, what authorities give a damn about how hot you are? If there was one, I’m sure Musk’n’Trump got rid of them.

A lot Please, please, please, someone check my googled physics and AI math:

E = mc² = 1 kg × (3×10⁸ m/s)² = 9×10¹⁶ joules (90,000,000,000,000,000 joules)

or

~21.5 MEGAtons of TNT (by comparison, the Hiroshima bomb was ~15 KILOtons)

It would have a temperature of ~1.2 × 10²³ K (1,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kelvin) The sun is a 5,772 Kelvin.

Like a ‘small’ star, it would radiate energy of about ∼3.6×10³² Watts (3,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 W) The sun puts out about 3.8x10²⁶ Watts (380,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 W)

Final burst duration: less than ∼8×10⁻¹⁷ seconds, or slightly faster than it takes for your mom to drop her panties.

Now for the best part. All of that energy would emanate from a very, and I can’t express this enough, very tiny spot, like a billion times smaller than a proton:

~1.5×10⁻²⁷ meters

A proton is about 10⁻¹⁵

From seemingly nowhere, instant God-boom. I like to imagine that whatever was next to it would just disappear, and then the shockwave would happen.

Again, I googled and used AI to run the code for the calculations, so…you know, correct me and downvote.

Australia, where even the animals are criminals.

Nice try, Elon

May you regale us with one? How about your least favorite memory and then a strange one?

This is the best advice I’ve heard in a long while

Good point… Panther? Mountain lion?

Bring back predators…the good kind. Wolves have a purpose.

That’s what I keep telling kids, we’re not evolved to live this way. It doesn’t feel right because your a round peg in a square building. We’re evolved for tribe life, telling stories around the fire, cooking food for each other, helping out our small communities, together. Singing and dancing and story telling, caring for our soil and water and animals. Yes we should go to the stars, and test the boundaries of reality, but we won’t get there and feel like we really did something worth doing without being who we truly are, free to love, free to wonder, free to explore, free to be alive, free to be just happy. It isn’t worth it if we aren’t happy. We need to find out happy place again if we’re going to survive the next few centuries.

I think it’s not feasible to search for anti -trump content and then track down the person, but is much more likely that once they have you they will check your phone to see if you are a dissenter. So any interaction with federal or local authorities will be risky from now on. I just saw a headline of a French scientist being denied entry after immigration searched her phone and found anti Trump messages. If anyone has advice on how to quickly wipe or lockdown a phone, PC, etc. please share. OpSec

I mean, technically it’s not wrong. ChatGPT

Not sure if this is what your looking for, but Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari. Also Sapiens by the same Author.

Ron Swanson’s idiot brother he doesn’t like to talk about, Don Swanson

Every lodge is different. Visitors from one lodge to another were once appalled by the more relaxed atmosphere of another. Even in a society of very well documented and studied ‘rules’ and practices can have widely different cultures depending on the town and people. Not all lodges are created equal.

The background check is no more than when applying to a job, they just check to see if you have a criminal record. They make a home visit to explain themselves to your family and to make sure your personal life doesn’t look like à mess, ie your not living like a piece of shit.

I moderate amount of control of my mental health

If I need to remember something then it’s terrible. If I never need to remember it then it’s burned into my brain and can be retrieved with zero effort and without even knowing how I learned it. Maybe I’m one of them idiot savants.
