A DISEASE:
Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”
“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred,… pic.twitter.com/e7NzxNinSM

CHANGE:
All the Jews who have been driven out of places like Columbia have been going to places like Vanderbilt.
As universities like Columbia have changed their values over the last 15 years, their student quality has declined.
Hopefully institutional reputations will catch up. https://t.co/BROunwwBoc

It’s like they don’t really care.
HISTORY LESSON:
Islam did not exist during the time of Cyrus the Great.
The Islamic Republic are followers of Muhammad, not Cyrus.
The Cyrus Cylinder preaches ancient Persian and Zoroastrian values like religious tolerance and human rights, not Islamist ideology.

My last car had semi-autonomous mode and the only time I had a problem was on the Interstate in Chattanooga when I came over a hill and there was dead-stopped traffic in both lanes ahead of me. The system couldn’t see cars that weren’t moving against the background, so it didn’t stop. I waited a second to see if it would and then had to brake pretty hard. If I hadn’t been paying attention, I would have rear-ended someone. I assume the separate electronic-crumple-zone braking would have kicked in before a collision but didn’t give it a chance.
My new car doesn’t have as many bells and whistles, and I don’t really miss them. But long drives were less tiring with the semi-autonomy.
