If you take away the sack yardage from the running yards stats Oregon almost averaged 5yds per rush. Like why not lead with the run????

Quick thoughts post game (pre-rewatch):

Indiana: we’re the better team in all phases, D tackled SO well, won the trenches, made 1000 cuts

Duckies: horrible play calling, LB play, & o-line play. offense only scored 13 (missed a FG) and still was within striking distance until the 4thQ, RUN THE BALL

“our world is run by people who can’t read and who don’t know the obvious message of pop culture staples”

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

What new horror will we thrust upon our consciousness today?

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

These dudes are fascist and the sooner you come to terms with that the faster we can protect the possibility of a future with our freedoms still intact.

My body is not a temple, it's a haunted house. It's slowly falling apart, makes weird noises, and contains the spirit of an old person who's always mad at something.
