“endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.”
Well said!
There was once a shepherd who found a wolf caught in a snare at the edge of his pasture.
The wolf begged to be freed.
“I was hungry,” it said. “That is all. Spare me, and I will remember your mercy!”
The shepherd cut the rope.
The next night, three lambs were gone.
Again the shepherd found the wolf. Again it pleaded. Again the shepherd convinced himself that mercy was proof of his goodness.
By winter, half the flock was dead.
An old farmer finally asked him, “Why do you keep freeing it?”
The shepherd answered, “Because I refuse to become cruel.”
The farmer looked at the empty field and said, “Then understand what you have done. You were not merciful to the wolf. You were cruel to everything that trusted you to keep them safe.”
That’s the lesson.
Mercy without judgment isn’t virtue. When someone openly intends to destroy what has been entrusted to you, endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.

Hasan Piker hits a wall when he tries to tell a man born in the Soviet Union that Americans are just as controlled as people under communism.
Konstantin Kisin shuts down the comparison and lays out the difference.
When he’s done, even Piker admits he’s right.
HASAN PIKER: “A lot of people think, well, as long as I can eat a Big Mac, you know, as long as I can watch TV, as long as I can consume porn [...] then, you know, things are probably fine.”
“It’s a different mechanism of control that makes you think that you are actually an active participant in this.”
Kisin isn’t buying it.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “The difference between those countries is not that they can’t eat a Big Mac.”
“The difference is that if they criticize the government, in Russia today even, but of course in the Soviet Union previously, you’re going to get killed, right? In America, that’s not what happens, right? In America, you don’t get put in jail.”
HASAN PIKER: “We don’t know yet.”
That’s his whole defense: what MIGHT happen in America.
So Kisin makes it personal.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “You in China or in the Soviet Union would be killed if you were critical of that regime.”
HASAN PIKER: “I would definitely be jailed, for sure.”
And there it is. Piker makes Kisin’s argument for him.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “So that’s the difference between these countries and America. It’s not a Big Mac, it’s freedom.”
Only in a free country can you build a career telling people they aren’t free.
CONTEXT: Communist regimes don’t just jail their critics.
Under Stalin, the Soviet secret police executed 681,692 people in two years, by the regime’s own records. That’s more than 900 a day.
Under Mao, the Great Leap Forward killed at least 45 million people in four years, per historian Frank Dikötter.
Under Pol Pot, nearly a quarter of Cambodia’s population was dead within four years.

Actually, we’re aiming for 1TW/year from Earth, rising to over 1PW/year from the Moon.
That’s why I say that if we achieve this outcome, SpaceX will obviously be worth more than Earth, because space is so staggeringly enormous!

Simple question that is deliberately avoided by the very people that are meant to protect us.
Australia is no longer a serious country. The government is run by retards.
The blood-brain barrier exists to protect the central nervous system from compounds circulating in the bloodstream.
During Senate supplementary estimates I asked representatives from the Department of Health whether childhood vaccine adjuvants can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Watch the response.

Mostly accurate per historical records.
~388k Africans disembarked in the US (Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database). Slavery was near-universal, including among Native Americans and Africans (millions retained or traded via Arab routes). Founders were overwhelmingly White European Christian men. 1860 census: ~1.4% of free population owned slaves (higher share of Southern families). Europeans, led by Britain, abolished the trade and pressured others.
Any person, especially a politician, that’s against freedom of speech and enshrining it as a constitutional right is a traitor and should be treated as such.
Nationals Leader Matt Canavan says he is not interested in enshrining freedom of speech in the Constitution when asked about Pauline Hanson’s High Court appeal over her telling Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to “piss off back to Pakistan.”
