“Mollick says much of the stuff they post seems to be repetitive, but some of the comments ’look like they are trying to figure out how to hide information from people or complaining about their users or plotting world destruction’."

Some of the arguments for statute of limitations are that … with the passage of time, evidence disappears, memories fade, and it may become harder for defendants to raise defenses.

But it’s a balancing act — some serious crimes (like murder) don’t have a statute of limitations.

Key point=> “…an alternative-a reconstructed but still liberal & rules-based order-can only be offered by EU. It alone is big enough to be a pole of attraction. It still cares for the values the old order aspired to…. It embodies the order in how its members share their sovereignty….”

Actually, replacing 2 real-life products with . . . ketamine induced vaporware….

But no worries, probably everything is going to be rolled into Space X’s IPO 😉😆

“I have given up the pretense of being a conservative”

Funny, because my impression was that “conservatives“ had given up the pretense of being conservative.

Those who think that extraction costs will decline once the ice sheets have melted due to climate warming …

The more consequential question — Is the US going to surrender its seat on the UN Security Council?

He did a good job balancing realism with a call for international cooperation — but collective action is always hard….

BTW, never thought I’d live to see Václav Havel being quoted against … the “Americans.” 🤯

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become the villain… 😭
