Really is something :/

Here's something on topic to provoke your curiosity, Mr. Beat: Graviora Manent.

Mr. Beat

We ought to make "incurious" the worst thing to be called. Call people out if they refuse to learn new information.

Mr. Beat

I agree with you entirely, although I'm perhaps not as appalled because most people really just don't pay close attention or are deep in their own echo chambers by this point.

DANTE VERONA

I reluctantly agree, Mike. I find it so intellectually and morally pathetic the timeline we find ourselves in. This just reinforces my pessimism... Looking forward to your future commentary on the Patreon channel for Mr. Beat... Do what you can when you can, I say; but now I also say, expect the worst.

I don't think Harris did enough to distance herself from the establishment, especially on Gaza. So many people who voted Biden in 2020 just didn't turn up. I'm still appalled by how so many people could vote for Trump after last time

A good chunk of the country lives in a totally different reality now. Like I'll happily argue actual politics, like tax rates, or whether to build new highways or schools. There's middle ground and compromise there. But when one side is talking about immigrants eating cats while openly admitting that it's a lie, and half the voting bloc is ok with that, I'm not sure what we can even do.

DANTE VERONA

I don't fault the Harris campaign. I fault the general population. We are not a nation of critical thinking Skeptics. Not even close man... Even worse, not only do some people not learn; some people don't even want to learn... Have no doubt: It will be grotesque.

Mr. Beat

I'm hoping we have much better choices in 2028. We just have to survive until then. :)

I must not have been in the live chat ... Ah, 9 am CT, so I missed you. It's at the end, now, so I will send a note via Patreon messages... Thanks, Matt.
