The “fewer people to discover new ideas” argument is inane. Creating the conditions in which discoveries can be made, nurtured, and developed is way more important.

Nor I when he was a supervisor. Way too early to just fall in line.

I get your point. But I don’t much care how I look to them. And not sure that saying “sorry, I’m not engaging with you looks weak or stupid anyway. I think the argument could go either way though. So keep up the good fight, however you do it!

Note the microphone and video glasses. She’s using the situation to create content for her maga audience to lap up. Don’t give it to them. Don’t engage at all.

As in many contexts, Ive found protests to be a place where it’s best to not feed the trolls. Lady was right about Charlie Kirk, but she gave the MAGA dimwit exactly what she wanted.

Heh. Two weeks ago a robotaxi pulled in right behind me *at a Tesla protest* (same spot in Austin where you were a few months ago). I stood in front of it to see if it could figure out to back up (lots of room to do so). It could not. After contacting hq, attendant had to drive it away.
