Classic CEO slop

I had a voodo banshee and it had a bug where the colours would slowly pulse across the spectrum as you moved around

Err, they did photoshop a map scale … the banana …

Ha haaaa nice one

He’s a hot mess … because of the fire … and time travel or something …

The father, the son and a ball of fire are all the same guy

Ergh we really need some truth in reporting laws that should cover mainstream media and anything that’s pretending to be mainstream media.

With the amount of digging going on in the photo it certainly looks like there’s more than a ballroom going in …

The oil tanker

Ripping out 50sqm of paving to install grass for my kids. Had to readjust levels, rip out a badly placed brick planter box and the oversized footing for it, adjust retic feeds and install new lines and sprinklers. So far I’ve shifted around 6m3 of dirt, bricks and concrete, not including the pavers. Final step of clearing last few cubic metres of dirt, putting down loam and then laying grass is this weekend. Then I just need to get it to establish in Australian summer …

Clearly full of a highly toxic drug that would eventually be used by nefarious organisations to force millions of people into trafficking and poison millions more.

I mean I literally did.

But also I agree, this is exhausting, it’s like you’re being obtuse on purpose. Good luck with your poorly thought out opinion. I’m done.

MAGA and charisma don’t really seem to have any overlap. Miller is some kind ghouls, Vance is charmless schlub, Hegseth is a Neonazi used car salesman, Bondi is the Karen meme brought to life, Patel is clearly some kind of moron in spite of somehow achieving a law degree, Kennedy is also some sort of Nepo-moron, Oz is a scheister and snake oil salesman … it goes on.

You could look outside the admin but even those clowns have the likeability of a building site portaloo. Like what the fuck is wrong with Jesse Watters? He looks like a possessed ventriloquist dummy and he has the morals of someone who is devoid of a soul. Musk and Theil are detached from reality, I mean Theil is literally running around given lectures on the end times.

Kirk was about as close as they seem to be able to get to a functioning human being and his ideas and morals were straight out of Mein Kampf and the KKK code of conduct.

Again, that’s not proof, it’s hypothesis based on anecdotal observation.

Proof would be a well structured repeatable study verifying the hypothesis. Given the other comments, it doesn’t even seem repeatable across other anecdotal observations let alone within a study.

I will note, I do form habits easily, and my work and past times require concentration, but I have never found that forms a habit of ignoring things, it forms a habit of having improved concentration when required. If anything I have found increased study leads to improved awareness of my surrounds and increased desire to learn more in general.

You claim your observations are proof of your hypothesis, but my observations directly disprove your hypothesis, so whose observation is correct? You could claim my observations are clouded because if l’ve concentrated and then am unaware of my ignorance, but I could claim the same thing of you, or even that you haven’t concentrated enough and so are unaware of your surroundings and the true nature of things. This is a never ending cycle of anecdotal nonsense. Hence the need for a well structured repeatable study as proof.

So hypothesis not proof, great. Concentration require focus on a task not ignorance of others, so can you form a habit of opposite action to what you are completing? My hypothesis is that you can’t and that the habit formed would be to have good concentration and ability to focus your attention. Like the opposite of ADHD. If you have anti-ADHD are you then insane?

It’s more like there’s no actual evidence other than the anecdotal.

It doesn’t fit my experience. I’m an engineer, I concentrated regularly in my studies and I concentrate regularly through my work, I don’t find its training me to ignore other aspects of the world or my life. I know lots of highly successful people, they tend to be more well rounded than not.

I wonder if maybe you are confusing concentration with hyperfixation?

I said I don’t think there’s any evidence of concentration leading to insanity in my first response. I also asked for evidence. For any great thinker you can point to who you think went insane, you could easily find another who didn’t. Anecdotal evidence doesn’t really cut it, so got any studies that show that intense study of a topic leads to insanity?

I don’t think it’s true that those that concentrate best tend to succeed. Those with a leg up from their previous generation tend to succeed.

I’m not convinced your concept of your concept of concentration sending people insane. There’s no evidence of that, unless you’d like to share some?

I think those groups (and the lawyers you mention) are made up of broard cross sections of the population. As with the general population, they include people who have empathy and compassion and people who don’t. Those with empathy and compassion try to benefit everyone, those without try to benefit themselves. Sadly engineers, scientists, artists and lawyers who only seek to benefit themselves will consider and act on developing unethical things (weapons, toxic materials, propaganda, defending people doing unethical things).

I think the people who control the world tend to be the people with power, a group also made up of people with/without empathy and compassion. The groups you list who do unethical things might be included in the group of those with power, but they might also just be benefiting themselves by helping those with power but without empathy and compassion. The control remains with those with power.
