It's possible to change which parties are in power, as has happened several times in the history of the country, but the only stable configurations are either one or two strongly dominant parties. Unfortunately, given the mathematical realities of the "first past the post" voting system we're forced to work within, the dichotomy is not false. Personally, I thought she was unelectable but, you know. ![]() I think if you dig into her history on non conservative sites, you'll find the same things. She is more of a cooperative than authoritarian leader but has the strength to make decisions and stick by them. This would destroy most people.Ģ) The clinton foundation is very well run, has a much higher share of money that goes to help people than the american cancer society, has reasonable wages for its employees, and is highly rated by charity navigator.ģ) Clinton's actions show she is willing to put the good of the party and the country ahead of her personal good.Ĥ) Clinton's a patriot and even a bit of a nationalist.ĥ) Clinton's wonky, intelligent, and creative and open to feedback from staff. I had to research her a lot this year andġ) Cinton's been the target of a propaganda war for close to 20 years. I think Clinton is typically flawed for washington senators, representatives and similarly powerful bureacratic positions. According to Musk, it's the most popular topic of conversation right now.Earlier this year, at Code Conference, Elon Musk said there's "one in billions" chance we're not living in a computer simulation. Business Insider adds: The piece doesn't give any clue as to who those two billionaires are - although it's easy to hazard a few guesses at who they might be, like Musk himself or Altman's friend Peter Thiel - but it's fascinating to see how seriously people are taking this theory. From an article on The New Yorker: Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation. In the story, Altman discusses his theories about being controlled by technology and delves into the simulation theory. The New Yorker recently did a profile about Y Combinator's Sam Altman. But it takes a billionaire and his money to ask scientists to help break us out of the simulation. Many believe that we live in a computer simulation. ![]()
