You say this, but the history books show that this advice would have been of great use to all the people throughout history that attacked those fortresses anyway for a variety of reasons.

The trouble is that anyone who could've benefited from reading the advice wouldn't have taken it, because They Knew Better. [*]

It's kinda fun to think about stuff like Hitler deciding to override his generals and decide to do a mechanized invasion of France through the Ardennes, a REALLY loving STUPID IDEA that regardless worked because the loving idiot happened to roll a quad six. How much did poo poo like that give him the false confidence to keep doing it through the war, and when he inevitably did not get unbelievably lucky again and again, loving over his whole genocidal war machine?

To tie this back in with elon, I've long suspected that all the loving rear end in a top hat managers like him who engage in the "don't give me excuses, give me results" school of management have the same personality disorders (even if that is just terminal poo poo headedness) as all those idiots who decided that attacking 50000 dudes in an inpregnable fortress with their 3000 half-starved soldiers was a great idea and the generals who tried to tell them it was a terrible idea were just cowards who didn't have the vision and the strength of personality to GET poo poo DONE.

[*] honestly, I think a lot of the value in the Art of War was that it was written by the right person at the right time. so it made people sit up and take notice and meant that when he said "don't be the loving dumbass who pursues your enemy into an obvious trap", the assholes who would've done it normally were held in check by Sun loving Tzu having told everyone it was a terrible idea, so if they did it and somehow lived through it, they could look forward to a meeting with the headman's axe.

It is difficult to overstate how repulsive the man is even having only seen and heard him via the Internet.

It boggles the mind that a person, no matter how stupid, could go face to face with him and think “father my children :swoon:”.

I'm sure daddy's emerald fortune fits into that equation most of the time.

Actually she's just as big a dummy as elon which does make her interesting and fun to make fun of. Her riverboat trip, choice of names for her kids, and all spaghetti diet are absolutely crackerpots nonsense that set her apart from the crowd in a point and laugh kind of way.

That's true, but she's not doing nearly as much damage to society as a whole. Meanwhile we've got one of the richest people on Earth obsessing over taking down trans people and Jewish people. It's kind of not the same.

I tend to embrace the message of A Christmas Carol: Christmas is a time for spreading love and joy, and remembering that we’re all fellow passengers to the grave and should look out for one another. Also telling people who use religion to oppress others to gently caress right off.
