Here for an adventure in time and/or space! -
In a thread yesterday, I noted that after WWII, many Americans asked how it was possible that large numbers of Germans could hear Hitler's dangerous, crazy ranting targeting minority communities and lusting after blood and still support him.@wdlindsy Perhaps so, but do you lock your doors? Every piece of land was taken from someone else and then fortified to keep it from being taken again. We'll be civilized when no one has to lock their doors.

Order is maintained only under the threat of violence, and so violence or the threat of violence is employed strategically to maximize fear and obedience. This is how naturally violent humans have managed to form civilizations and armies that conquered other humans that did not cooperate for mutual defense.

Strike!@obrhoff You almost hope that Musk cryogenically freezes himself and wakes up in a time where money doesn't matter and he's a just an insecure, whining nobody.
