earthstuff is highly sorted by buoyancy, most of the stuff we can get at is lightweight silicates. but the solar system as a whole has much more interesting heavy stuff in it (gold, platinum, tungsten, iron, iridium, etc)
asteroids have not been sorted by gravity and are abundant with this stuff

The argument against is if Beshear's KY polling doesn't generalize well to other red states, or if he's weaker wrt Democratic base. Which is all fair, and I think the primary should be a good filter for that
Maybe the better characterization pre-primary for Beshear is "high-ceiling/low-floor"

which makes Beshear polling at 65% and winning in '23 w/ 52.5% more impressive. He overperformed Harris by 18.5 points, and the polling is even better
i agree blue KY means a D presidential win regardless, but the data suggests Beshear expands the map, which is most important down-ballot

my guiding principle on this is that I will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to ensure that the Republican candidate will lose

personally i would go for
```
newtype Yoneda f a = Yoneda { runYoneda :: forall b. (a -> b) -> f b }
lift fa = Yoneda (\ab -> fmap ab fa)
lower (Yoneda y) = y id
```
because "an object is known by its relations", but maybe that's just me
```
newtype Yoneda f a = Yoneda { runYoneda :: forall b. (a -> b) -> f b }
lift fa = Yoneda (\ab -> fmap ab fa)
