  • We’re no less corrupt in the US, merely more expensive.

    Our cheats just hire lobbyists to make their corrupt practices legal, shout out to Citizens United, and/or hire enough lawyers to make the consequences meaningless, like fining a company that makes billions a year thousands for profitable criminal activity.

    Our “solution” to corruption is simply to make it legal for the right price. Donald Trump should have lost his empire and gone to jail for his business practices long before he was a game show host, let alone POTUS, but he learned and inherited enough from daddy to understand how to wield American style corruption, and he’s still free.





  • There is a paradox of confidence.

    The people most confident in their competence tend to be the least competent in practice.

    The Dunning–Kruger effect.

    Self-cheerleaders tend to be morons, the most intelligent people by their nature tend to second guess their own abilities. Idiots just stroll through life taking whatever credit they can grab.

    “The only thing I know is that I know nothing, and i am no quite sure that i know that.”

    -Socrates

    "Throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.’

    -Donald Trump

    See the difference? By genuinely doubting, aka examining your abilities, you are in more competent company.
