    Is it that they won't say anything when JD says what ever he needs to save face because it's exactly the same deal as before?

      Vance certainly didn't offer any evidence for his assertions, according to TFA.

        What do they miss that you haven't ? What is their blind spot? Imho "Sharp-Bigots" is the keyword :)

        (As for teams with wellbred dogs going up against SB away from their steamrollers, 1000 yards is necessary and sufficient for the element of surprise?)

            At a glance Fig 2 looks most interesting.. last panel compares "monolithic" US to Canada with their giant error bars..

            (Canadians become more honest but less trustworthy??!! Need to look at supps to make sense of that !

            Unbelievably, I am here to comment on an idea of PH's (IIRC) that the only way to improve local trust-levels is to import children from high-trust environments. This study may give a clue to how to figure out an ideal age-of-transplant!

            He was thinking of Mamdani-- I think the argument was that he grew up around high trust (Brahmin left?) adults but got thrust into progressively less trustful environments (Africa -> Columbia/upper west side -> NYC in general)

        Epstein emails make me realise that Young Bill Gates probably had more influence than all the politicians and old Bill Gates combined over the current course of history. This explains the current obsession with Sam Altman.

        Actually I'm optimistic that spending less attention on these politicians (or even reading/writing [company emails future or past])

        but more on making Richard Scarry's proto-dreams a bit more concrete would help us go a long way towards teaching 5yr old kids these days how to organise a quiet revolution when they reach 12 :)
