A great classic by Martin A. Schwartz (2008): “The importance of stupidity in scientific research”: “Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice. Focusing on important questions puts us in the awkward position of being ignorant.”

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.

In the Soviet Bloc, the Communist Party assigned political minders/ commissars to every school, factory, army unit, etc to ensure ideological compliance and loyalty to the regime. Hiring was based on class background and demonstrated loyalty. Obviously, this is very different.

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB? Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors. Follow the money.

A lot of people reply to moments like this by saying “they won’t stop with trans people” but…what if they do? That doesn’t make this less violent and evil. While you may not be intending to say so, there is an underlying implication there that the real violence is still to come. And that’s not ok.
