I hope the plan is traveling in a relatively straight line.

They also gotta get the fix through a trusted channel and not randomly on the internet. (No offense to the person that gave the info, it’s maybe correct but you never know)

Did you make it or just share it? I love these kinds of maps. A guy online made me some custom ones before for free of an island where I have property, was super nice of him. Your style looks different though, I really like it.

This sounds like a metaphor for Elon endorsing Trump.

I like that they are very critical of Trump and the Republican party , but because they are from the world the have insight into its thinking and mechanics. Hearing their insights is illuminating.

My favorite is The Bulwark (ex-Republican never-Trumpers), I think they’re great. Also fans of Pod Save America (ex Obama staff). I found a new one I highly recommend called “2Way” from journalist Mark Halperin and it’s a Republican-based but mixed bunch, pretty cool.

Ha true, good point. Buddhism can be a little atheistic, I believe, the Buddha isn’t an actual deity for most adherents. (I think…?)

Ah gotta get Festivus on the calendar! I like the rules idea too, maybe a few super random things just to be quirky.

I don’t think we need more religion, no. I think people would like options with less archaic ideas, and that they would like the community and activity that religious groups can offer if the strange belief requirements can be left behind.

I’d make it atheistic, include meditation and be proactive with volunteering or useful projects.

I like the “Dark Forest” theory I learned from the Three Body Problem books. Basically it’s dumb for civilizations to make a big footprint and reveal themselves because other civilizations won’t know how powerful and dangerous you might become, and so out of precaution they might just zap you. Ironic and over dramatic, but just because that’s a possibility it might be wise to keep a low profile and not invite trouble.

Yeah without the engagement of power users we maybe wouldn’t have a platform going here.

Ah really? He’s nice and thoughtful.
