The Asylum was set up one day after Watson came across a set of detailed instructions on a set of toothpicks. Watson, distressed and fearing for the world’s sanity, built the Asylum to put it in and help it get better. The Asylum is a four-walled house turned inside out. That which one would be inclined to take as the door into the house opens into a lawn with benches and walking paths. This is the area that Watson calls Outside the Asylum. Thus, the inside of the asylum contains the entire world, save for that small area. Within that small outside area, Watson has mounted the instructions for the toothpicks, in order to discourage himself and others from going back into the asylum.

We elect world leaders who don’t know anything about any of those things
Good leaders surround themselves with intelligent experts of diverse opinions and try to make an informed decision.
Some of us try to elect leaders like that. Others… go for reality tv actors

your point of view
Yes.
But bring really really good at acting or playing music does not necessarily translate to having a particularly wise or well-informed view on moral philosophy, social science, or geopolitics.

slavery doomed the empire from the start.
That’s the most egregious moral and social flaw but there were others that could also have doomed the US from the start. A lot depends on the culture, how it evolves, and which values and narratives are promulgated by civil institutions.
Compared to 100 years ago, USA is objectively less racist, less homophbic, less xenopobic, and generally more tolerant and respectful.
Especially if you consider USA during Obama/Biden. Racists were still racist but the messaging from the top and most of society was: other races are OK, other cultures are OK, other sexual identities are OK

A lot of centrist/non-DSA Democrats are 100% in support of impeachment and prosecution of most of Trump’s cabinet. It’s pretty clear we need something even more strident than we got post-Nixon.

Low-info take.

The moment I saw “a toast to you”, I knew the song.
And yes, I have been in the audience and raised my beer with the rest of the fans when they played this.
It is a moment that for me is probably a bit like a Catholic recalling Mass in Rome with the Pope Himself holding up the chalice

- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 4 weeks ago:
Yes for French directly – lots of Africa, the Caribbean, and ofc solidarity with Canada 🇨🇦
BUT! – consider that, knowing Italian, you get a pretty good grip on Spanish as well. And there are ~6x more native Spanish speakers than native French speakers
