1. Even dickheads love their dogs. Find a way to connect to those you disagree with. “The obvious mistakes of those who find themselves in opposition are to break off relations with those who disagree with you,” texts Vera Krichevskaya, the co-founder of TV Rain, Russia’s last independent TV station. “You cannot allow anger and narrow your circle.”

  2. Pay in cash. Ask yourself what an international drug trafficker would do, and do that.

He’s thinking about flying a SpaceX rocket to Mars and raping and pillaging its rare earth minerals before anyone else can get there. We need a 30-year road map out of this.

  1. Take the piss. Humour is a weapon. Any man who feels the need to build a rocket is not overconfident about his masculinity. Work with that.

            Yes we are.

            Name one other species that shows the levels of love and care that humans can?

            We are lead by the worst examples of humanity, but they do not represent or act like what a normal person does.

                  Me? A human? Yeah. I have. Do you not think a horse feels more love from another horse than it does its human owner?

                  Humans are not special or unique, except in their ability to ruin everything around them. Though I suppose wild hogs do that pretty good, and if we want to get technical cancers might compete with us in our ability to fuck up our own host…
