The prophet speaks. Now you know what to bet against. Not sure he’s ever seen anything in the future beyond his empire’s inevitable demise

A stupid, cynical ending with no insight. Better to explore the way the CIA could be used by an authoritarian like Trump. Everything in the NYer these days is NYer Lite. And the timing could not be worse.

By now, the FBI should know better than to underestimate the cartels.

The same could be said of people, revealing the emptiness of this idea. Knowing the process at a mechanism level says nothing about the outcome. Some people output German, some English. It’s sub-mechanisms are plastic and emergent
