That's for other people. This time is different.

>That principle works for anyone with means to seize.

Believing that is the first step to a compromise. This principle works for anyone period.

Just think everyone should consider the possibility that no one really needs the head of R&D. For good intelligence agencies, the guy who does low level IT will do nicely thank you very much.

No one, man or woman, grows closer to being a 10 as they age. So if you work for some of these critical companies and your perfect man or woman shows up, you should be on your guard.

TBH if I was higher up the chain of command, I'd actually give less fucks. If I have a mortgage I cannot afford to lose job or money so I'm on guard because I'm one failed marriage away from homelessness. But if I have ten million dollars to my name, and a Chinese spy shows up then what exactly do I have to lose? If the company kicks me out then good riddance, I can already retire to perfect comfort and nobody can take away the memory of spending a year with a 10/10 partner.

If you know for a fact they are a spy, are we sure that they are the ones doing the finessing? can’t you just feed them false intel and develop a syncretic religion between their confucianism and my catholicism such that they don’t know who is brainwashing who?

I wouldn't care about giving out real intel in exchange for a passionate romance because that's something you cannot buy with money.
