The Elon Musk Unmasked (from Tech Won't Save Us?) series emphasizes that his foremost skill is* building and perpetuating the awkward but believable geek persona around himself.

*Hard to say if he's got it anymore, or if American adulation of the ultrarich accounts for it all.

Those are 2 different questions with 2 different answers.

First one, maybe 25%.

Second one, maybe 2%.

Libs will come across an influential personality and completely separate them from important context.

They'll celebrate Yacouba Sawadogo, for instance, for being a pioneer of 20th-century agriculture by reinventing traditional methods for water retention amd soil fertility. And yet, there's something missing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacouba_Sawadogo

His methods started to find widespread success in the mid-80s, in his country, Burkina Faso. I wonder what was happening around that time? Oh well, that's not important.

And then 2 decades later the land value of the area he had labored on and improved had shot up and he was struggling to afford the same plot he'd been working for over 20 years. Isn't that just rotten luck? I guess life's just a roller coaster of fortune.

They'll condemn the people who storm bases to not enlist, but they won't condemn the people who storm police stations to protect rapists.

And it was created by a sockpuppet account who was banned for account abuse. Yet the article remains, very close to its original form, because the libs unconditionally respect what is extant.

There's a nonzero chance that someone finds out what a "sigma male" is via Wikipedia now.

Ukrainian men abroad voice anger over pressure to return home to fight

Headline picture caption: "Ukrainian recruits with the Aidar Battalion train in the eastern Donbas region in early February."

Hey, look who it is. I wonder why they all have their backs turned, and no identifying markers showing that would allow me as the reader to confirm that they are my favorite anti-Russian fighting force.

A subdiscipline that focuses on the diversity and mutability of social formats, in the present and throughout recorded history and in the archeological record and in the biology of social species.

As a counter to evolutionary psychologists (EvolPsychos) who assert that there are direct Darwinian forces shaping human psychology, we need people to assert that there are palpable Kropotkinian forces shaping human societies. Likewise, we must assert that just like how it is impossible to fully understand an allele without the context of the interactions of the environment and the phenotypes associated with that allele, it is impractical to try to understand human psychology in isolation from human societies/cultures.

Israel: I ate a cat

NYT: You make me want to cry. That's (in my opinion) kind of cruel. But even so, I do respect YOUR opinion.

Israel: I will eat another

Maybe because all the queer kids and socialists were extremely closeted.

Now all I need is material to brag about, I thought I'd just figure that out when I got to it.

It's pretty clear this guy has never rollerbladed.

Roller blading takes more time to begin and end, requires an uncomfortable kind of footwear that restricts where you can go, has very limited top speed, is slower to accelerate and decelerate, takes up just as much horizontal space as a bike does, is much less stable, and has a higher skill floor. And no way does it mix with pedestrians.

He could at least have seemed honest if he said skateboards, which are equally sexy and actually get noticeable mileage.
