Elon Musk would be on Kamala Harris’ cabinet, amongst a coalition of rivals. Because the most important thing to do with power is give it to the people you say are ideologically opposed to you. This is why they’re throwing the election to Trump as the most efficient application of this methodology

They’re more than willing to put pressure on the left leaning members, and work against their reelection. They just won’t do it to anyone who’s pushing for neoliberalism or for achieving anything they use to get elected. Manchin basically ran the party for a while and now he’s a republican.

Smarts don’t make you an expert on climate dynamics, and I don’t trust some guy on Twitter to be a good judge of “smart”. The phrasing is pretty telling though “smart people I know”, vs “people smarter than me” means he’s including himself among the “smart people” pushing for this.

Yeah. I doubt most people would turn down a direct sequel, but anyone aware of the drama around ZA/UM and DE is probably not expecting anything more than some spiritual successors.

ill give you credit for having at least read some of the silmarillion (or maybe watched that amazon show? do they cover that?), but know this is done begrudgingly and I do not condone this behavior

i doubt any of them have plans or means to secure IP rights to DE or its setting, so I don't think you have worry about any direct sequels.

Palantir. Literally an evil wizard orb.

I don’t understand. He’s a high ranking politician, why isn’t he a cowardly worm who only pays lip service to ideals? Is he at least treating his constituents like ungrateful children?

Its a lower bound not an upper limit.
