We should explore space with semiautonomous robots. We can do space exploration at maybe a quarter of the cost of sending humans to do it.

Flood Mars with exploratory rovers for years. Then mining robots. Then manufacturing robots. Have them build facilities that build more robots to expand the process exponentially .

Then, if we decide it’s even worth it at that point, have them build a city and send people.

I went to Paris once, and despite everything I had heard my whole life, if you start off with a Bonjour and end with a Merci, in between, the locals are almost all perfectly happy to speak English with you.

I’m sure I say these things with a thick American accent so they all know not to continue too much further in French.

When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.

I preferred Minesweeper

I vote for the side that doesn’t raise an army of lawless unaccountable masked gunmen raiding homes without warrants and executing people in the streets.

But the two parties are just the same!
