When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

that op-ed featured chilling anecdotes like this one, which if you read closely you will note contain *not so much as a hint of any actual "consequences," steep or otherwise, this kid faced.* Just ... people disagreed with him, I guess?

that is absolutely the goal. someone told me they heard a clip of Elon Musk saying something like “people are living too long” and we know which people he’s talking about (i’m disabled as well). thank you for your courage, i’m trying to muster it too. some days easier than others.
