> It’s as unstable as a SpaceX launch Hate makes people blind. Starship is failing by design - that's just how they're choosing to develop it. The chopsticks video that we saw earlier was very nearly science fiction. And as far as regular launches go, SpaceX has done more successful launches than any company or nation ever. But more generally, this idea of abandoning an app (or product) the moment you encounter people who disagree with you is disheartening.

>But more generally, this idea of abandoning an app (or product) the moment you encounter people who disagree with you is disheartening. It is a behavior Substack itself encourages by turing itself into a social media platform instead of simply a newsletter provider. Yes, it is useful for building a moat of network effects, but it also forces views and opionions down people's throats that reflect badly on the platform.

Abandoning a community the moment you encounter people who disagree with you is how one builds a bubble strong enough to say things like the bit you quoted.

  Why would I spend my precious time wallowing in filth and squalor with some radicalized “influencers” who spout evil nonsense and entirely lack self awareness? I’d rather go read a book and discuss it with some actually intelligent friends.

I agree that hate makes people blind, which is why you need to get off X. That line doesn’t imply anything other than that SpaceX launches are unstable! The explosions are a highly notable feature of said launches.

That was just a metaphor, a throwaway line in the article, no more important than Stephen Miller's marriage. It's peculiar that this is the subject you chose to expand on in the comments.
