"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

Three generations theory in action is simply winning by time preference.

"If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry."

Feels like the generation of the "world leaders" is looooong overdue LOL 😉

I'm 57. I get it. What about the fuckers in their 20's and 30's who scoff at me?? I'm on an Island in my real little world...looking across an ocean or at a commercial at all the others orange pilled

The young are more pliable. Many more of them will learn. The old are less pliable. Many more of them will die without learning. You’re simply in the minority, aligned less with the elderly than the youth.

Thank you for that. It resonates and makes me feel better!

“People who I can’t convince need to die.” Cool cool cool cool.
