No, I get that "enemy of my enemy," but in real life this only works occasionally, and most often not for long.The Commies don't hate Caps as long as they benefit, savvy. In Russia, In China, Venezuela.I expect people to lie John, or in the sciences, to lie by exaggeration. Like with claimed advances.In politics, they lie about their own sides virtuousness aka virtue signalling. Example, both parties: "We're not haters, racists." For me, if one has greater goals, we set aside our petty racism and bigotry in order to achieve the greater goals.
John if you wish to see cryonics and safe molten salt reactors succeed, we ought to be able to set aside our rage for the greater goal? Both have high cost and we'd need to fund these massively, but they possess a very high return on investment, once achieved. My beef with the progressive billionaires is that say despite the Bill & Linda Gates Foundations work against malaria and the West Nile virus, his dealing with the Xi regime bring even more people, especially Americans into threat. Yes, I know that Billy is funding an MSR (travelling wave reactor) in Canada. Both you and Bill are counting upon Xi and the CCP not attacking, and this is a bet I won't make. Moral? Even if you do good, if you do enough bad, the bad drives out the good. Your fellow Texan Lyndon Johnson is an example. So what do we do, knowing this? Nothing. Because we have zero power of persuasion because we ain't rich and cannot bribe politicians like the very rich do. -----Original Message----- From: John Clark <johnkcl...@gmail.com> To: spudboy...@aol.com Cc: everything-list@googlegroups.com <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Mon, Oct 10, 2022 7:22 am Subject: Re: NYTimes.com: Biden Administration Clamps Down on China’s Access to Chip Technology On Sun, Oct 9, 2022 at 6:36 PM <spudboy...@aol.com> wrote: > I could see Larry Fink and the other billionaires (Gates?) fleeing to China, after a Chinese attack, to avoid the lynch mob. Spud, you claim to hate communism but apparently you've never heard the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If there's one Group that hates communism even more than you do it's capitalists, haven't you noticed they've been cracking down on their own billionaires, "re-educating" them and putting them in prison at an exponential rate? And if Bill Gates is a villain then I say three cheers for villainy because Bill Gates has saved more lives than any living person, perhaps more than anybody in human history. > They may have already planned for this eventuality, and how would we even > know? You really need to get a new bullshit detector, your old one is clearly defective; you think any sort of nonsense that some jackass types out on the Internet needs to be taken seriously, provided of course it's right-wing nonsense and not left-wing nonsense.
