  • Some people, not anyways men, have been taught, rather mercilessly, that they have to be self sufficient. These people get aggravated, even angry when someone else fails to live up to the standard that they (unfairly) were forced to. There can be an instinctive feeling that it is somehow an injustice to them.

    That doesn’t excuse abandoning someone in the wilderness. Often these people struggle to learn to be a kind helper.

    Also, none of this is meant to excuse the behavior. It is possible to understand “why” without condoning it. When confronting this it is important to be firm that it is unacceptable, as well as understanding that it may be a struggle to relearn.

















  • There were a few recent news articles that discussed some of the content of the new book about Elon Musk in which he shared that he had realized that a particular request for bandwidth could only be for a Ukrainian boat drone strike against Russian warships, so he turned off the coverage in that area to save lives, which disabled all the drones.

    Those warships later fired rockets into Ukraine, killing people.

    The takeaway most people got from this is that Elon is using his influence to decide who lives and who dies in a foreign war where the US has a stake, and he chose the opposite of US foreign policy.

    If you think he’s smart, he is potentially traitorous to US interests, if you think he’s dumb, he still got people killed.
