Sorry, had to finish the quote

It’s an anti-joke. Instead of doing a typical setup-payoff, the setup is that it uses the format of a joke, but then subverts the expectation by then having the “characters” make the most basic observations/actions.

We needed to be able to protect ourselves when we were individual tribes. That meant we needed to be able to hurt people if push came to shove. So, we can turn off the empathy when we’ve determined that someone is our enemy. And modern leaders abuse the shit out of that response for their own benefit. Because they want things and other people are in the way.

IP has value, we amass value. Are we missing a step? -stockholders

Explain?

This is a flowery opinion piece about a study, with no rigorous deep-dive into the substance of the study. Yeah, no. Not gonna put any weight into this.

It’s not unrelated. The Houthis have said, at every possible chance, that their actions in the Red Sea towards ships flying the American flag is because of what’s happening in Gaza. Why would you not believe them?

Bibi said that’s there no end to this war with a Palestinian State. All the secret memos in the world aren’t going to cover up the blatant calling for Genocide.
