General Discussion

They were just average people not influencers, extremely online or players or party people.
I disagreed completely with their politics as an environmentalist and scientist would.

But they were nice people. I try to never meet anyone elite above the nicest type of elite scientist level..Those people are awful.

I have very populist instincts..I always blame politicians, billionaires, influencers, celebrities and the media/journalists. Not average voters. With this shit media environment and these pseudo elite parasites psyoping the world this long people have shit politics. I agree it is very frustrating especially as more stuff breaks.
But purely from the standpoint of a fix the problem has to be correctly identified.

Scientists and doctors (not those Google/MIT Media Lab advertising social engineering bullshitter types) are in a separate professional category I belong to when not a torches and pitchforks bearing solitary villager..Like Dr Fauci, Peter Kalmus, Adam Becker, my colleagues, Prof Lecun etc

The MIT Lab is creepy and not in any science community I would want to know.

Similarly I just realized thinking back what always struck me as off about the way Russia and China are affecting reality. They are both totally sleazy as are all players anywhere (US, India, Europe, Saudi Arabia..players are always creeps).

But I do not believe influence is as real as ransomware and these thugs using that to extort us all. Russia is a source of lots of ransomware. And with all sorts of creeps looking at porn and the worst kinds of porn like underage stuff is probably used by these climbing parasitic type.
There would be stuff like the Tyler Valenti stuff that worries even me. He was this gay kid who committed suicide.
But no one would be bothered about that and that can no longer be a reason to risk these guys launching a nuke.
It is why I am unloading all my lame “secrets” (I am fine with..actually I hope they have kept any and all illicit data they gathered from me..I suspect they won’t try to use it ..but they should. I enjoy mocking people..But still strategically, as I want the parts of this corrupt and criminal crew that made my life hell in two countries and stupidly colluded and failed to get what character and principles actually are.. things I usually pretend not to have since it sounds like something a moral pill would have…oh well)

I am very confident in anyone ..admittedly very few and well known or adequately known and taken on trust (I am not Google..I have no wish to only trust people after going through their personal drawers..did it never occur to them that what they thought was rule followint was a “test” they failed as the rest of us miserably self policed our various insecurities?)
That was a hellish 14 years..
