They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.

What are politics for and how to think about it A perfect analogy for why we should align our beliefs to predict real-world outcomes is the role of bumpers in bowling. By using bumpers, we eliminate the chances of the worst outcomes (scoring zero) and increase the likelihood of reaching our goal. Similarly, grounding our beliefs in reality helps us think more effectively and make better predictions. Put simply referencing reality makes you think better.

When I shared McSweeney's list of the damage that Trump has done, my uncle laughed at me. I thought that the people who raised me taught me about integrity. I thought they believed that lying is wrong. My dad warned me about the sex offender's in my grandma's neighborhood, and warned me that it wasn't safe to walk alone.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump: How Tech, Wealth, and Politics Are Colliding in 2024
When you hear the names Elon Musk and Donald Trump in the same sentence, your mind might instantly jump to a meme or some wild headline on your newsfeed.
