I am interested to know where this is taking place, and whether any research ethics board approval (or something analogous) was required

Also, California is Communist now?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It's funny how the left stays static,nudges rightwards even... But conservatives insist they're  going communist.
Well. It would be funny if people didn't swallow it. Depressing is a better word.

Oh that's a real surprise with Rogan. Never would've seen that one coming.

The Minsky Moment

I've been playing Bioshock Infinite off and on recently on the deck.  Reading the Musk tweet, my brain immediately  brought up the scratchy Voxophone sound. Truly is life imitating art.

I don't contest that he is a leftist.  Socialist even, just not communist. More . . . nationalist.  If only there was a name for someone who thinks of themselves as National and Socialist . . .

I don't get this. He was pro-Bernie Sanders who wants to go much farther than I do.

How are the current leftists more Communist than Bernie?

From what I gather the "California is too commie" crowd focus on drugs and crime. Which I don't know how that's communist, but it is what it is.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I think quite a few people on the left would say that the left has not stayed static, though most would only do so privately, just to be safe from the other leftists.

No political view is static... except maybe the Amish.

Ok but the claim is going full Communism, not failing to be the same from 2020 when he was a Bernie supporter.
