He said that moderation is working well if "the most extreme 10% of the left and the right are equally frustrated." That actually kind of mirrors my politics.

That actually kind of mirrors my politics. I think freedom is what you get when every movement, crusade, and ideology simultaneously fails.
This isn't nihilism. It's a belief that problems are best solved without force.
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> said that moderation is working well if "the most extreme 10% of the left and the right are equally frustrated." The problem occurs when those ten percents use the ensuing outrage to recruit.
- IgorPartola 5y agoSounds like enlightened centrism to me. Which is itself an ideology.
- k1ko 5y agoI only see that term used by the left as an insult when it is a perfectly reasonable take.
- IgorPartola 5y agoThat is two unsubstantiated claims in one sentence :)
- root_axis 5y agoThat's a totally unquantifiable metric.
- chasd00 5y ago> "the most extreme 10% of the left and the right are equally frustrated." yeah that sounds great but the devil is in the details and they have always been. I feel like Musk gets tunnel vision in his thought process. Like he goes "A leads to B, B leads to C, and then C leads to D and done." without contemplating the complexities along the way. It's interesting because he's not naive to business and how things work. He's certainly gotten things done in timelines that people thought impossible and even laughed in his face but other times he has wildly missed.
