“Maybe if we just explain it to them more cogently, they will come to their senses.” This sounds like a Sorkin-esque West Wing perspective on how things work. They are not dimwitted or confused. They can see just fine.
Haha. No.
Politicians are probably the most short sighted dipshits around.
The sociopathic shitheels that were born into fuck-you money? Sure. Well, not counting morons like Elon, et Al, of course.
Lmao, that's reading a lot into what I said. Who said anything about explaining anything to them? They don't see the same earth or problems on the earth that we do, and almost nothing is going to change that. Bezos going to space didn't give him that bullshit "Overview Effect" and make him a better person. Musk doing hallucinogens didn't suddenly make him a better person.
But treating them like they're infallible and just so damn smart when the evidence shows otherwise isn't helping.
