imagining a rando with good political instincts but no context first sneering at this, then getting confused, looking up the oceangate incident, then smiling like a toddler with candy

Musk should be put in charge of and given complete control of building a rocket to mars he should also be a main operator of the rocket because he is such a genius and has to be the first on mars. I’m sure he will be fine.

This is crushing

Force them all to line up and take a trip on the PlaySub

Step forward: we hear
That you are a good man.
You cannot be bought, but the lightning
Which strikes the house, also
Cannot be bought.
You hold to what you said.
But what did you say?
You are honest, you say your opinion.
Which opinion?
You are brave.
Against whom?
You are wise.
For whom?
You do not consider your personal advantages.
Whose advantages do you consider then?
You are a good friend.
Are you also a good friend of the good people?

Hear us then: we know.
You are our enemy. This is why we shall
Now put you in front of a wall. But in consideration of your merits and good qualities
We shall put you in front of a good wall and shoot you
With a good bullet from a good gun and bury you
With a good shovel in the good earth.

• Bertolt Brecht “Interrogation of the Good”
