Making a long story longer - Page 3 of 194 - I'm kind enough not to bore you with this stuff in person.

I’ve been discovered

If you get enough clowns in one place a circus will break out.

The problem in America is – No one wants to do the job they got, they all want to be president and not sweep the floor.

Around the year 2000 it became cheaper to collect information than to process it.

The dry fisherman and the wet hunter wear the same expression.

I might have posted this before – but it stands true –

Progress in science is often built on wrong theories that are later corrected. It is better to be wrong than to be vague.

The logic being that if wrong you’ve at least eliminated one possibility in the process of figuring things out – if you’re vague you haven’t.

My current thoughts are that Biden takes it – by a slight margin – less than what is currently predicted.

For Trump:

Regulation – it’s down, hopefully that will continue
Pushback against the lockdown everywhere urge. A nuanced view is the one to have, Trump seems to come closest to that, depressingly.
Foreign Policy – Trump is the most peaceful president since Jimmy Carter – which is of great surprise
A profound lack of ambition and desire for a place in history – mixed with decline in energy due to age means that the pros/deep state are in charge – we’ve survived that for quite a while.

For Biden

State capacity
Should Biden be elected then the American effort will become a giant success, and the lockdown efforts can get a bit more intelligent
A general cooling down of mood
Similar to #4 above decline in energy due to age means that the pros/deep state are in charge – we’ve survived that for quite a while.

God created Man in His own image—and Man, being a gentleman, returned the compliment
