Logging into the “jumping the gun”-app to see some more people jumping the gun today.

the whole planet is “Thailand for Women” your girlfriend didn’t “study abroad” in Italy for “The Pasta” your aunt isn’t in Jamaica because she is a devotee of “Rasta Lifestyle” the strange obese woman in your office’s accounting department is not in Kenya for “The Beaches”

De Bijmer is de laatste plek in Nederland met deze vibe.

Balaji is a bright guy but he fled the USA and has set his mind totally against our future success. He lives in a world where US is losing and China is winning. This is his fixation. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong. And this war has embarrassed China, destroyed their 100 cargo planes of war materials and their military ally, and frustrates them. It’s fair to disagree about the attack. But saying that its architects are guilty of any downside is childlike nonsense. They should be proud of their work and their courage to take on this evil. If you’re against the war, do you get credit for the last two decades of literal mass torture and mass rape and repression by this regime, and its terror funding and death around the region? Do you get credit for “supporting” the billions it spends on social media bots and information operations to polarize the US against ourselves, and weaken the west? Do you also get credit for what would have been the next twenty years of that? Are you, Balaji, responsible for that side of it? No? But if you are for it, you get zero credit for fixing any of that, but blamed for ALL the possible downsides? Total BS. The mullahs holding the region hostage shouldn’t get your help to blame others for the damage they do. Geopolitics and war is complex and there are risks on all sides. There is risk in acting, and in not acting. I’m really glad we are taking advantage of the massive innovation and competence gap that exists at this moment, and finally eliminating so much evil. I hope for freedom for the Iranian people and know that the situation is hard and complex, but either way it is good to stop the bad guys and eliminate so many of the worst groups, who have done so much damage, from history. Nobody should get away with what those bastards did for so long; this was long overdue.

This research is so interesting—though it's not just WWI (not to mention WWII) military deaths that put a dampener on innovation in Europe. Think about it: If the biggest risk takers keep leaving a population, generation after generation, what's going to happen to it?

Woke is not "Dionysian," though. It's fat and exhausted. Dionysus will only show himself to those that are physically healthy and strong. The left isn't, it's impotent and hysterical. Also weak. A leftist could never tear anyone apart.
