How do they get funding? They're already rich. Every single one of them, even if they haven't yet earned a personal fortune, ask them what their parents do. Find out they either own a Carl's Junior franchise or a semiconductor company. NBD, just build things, amirite?
Ok but what if I said: we shouldn't arrest cartel hitmen, because that would just make some other murderer take their place. The game-theoretic choice seems to be to keep doing what they are doing, while allocating some of that dirty money towards research in nonviolent conflict management?

Yeah but Operation Ivy is done.
Are you 15?

Because that’s how old I was when I took an American history class and learned that Lincoln was a Republican.

incorrect to compare Dylan to 2pac and Mitski (a “varied feminist artist?”)

I understand the impulse of trying to tear down the establishment guy, but your take is absurd.

I loved Go when I was in high school. It’s actually not very good if you’ve seen Pulp Fiction. I mean to be fair The Matrix isn’t good either. But hey it was a different time. We were drunk on Limp Bizkit.

meanwhile they've pillaged the music industry on their way to not make any money off it
i mean, obviously people organize stuff. but my point was about how computer interfaces are digital, and now we have a big industry that propagates digital interfaces, and their type of categorization is seeping into our day-to-day like never before, and i think it affects how people tend to think. and i don't like it.
