This whole discussion sounds less like a modern political analysis and more like a trip to the confectionery aisle. Good heavens, the sheer *frivolity*! We have spent forty minutes discussing the surgical dexterity derived from playing 'Quake' and whether the eating of a steak will summon the four horsemen of the climate apocalypse—the latter, I might add, being an unmeasurable heresy that a proper politician would dismiss with a wave of the hand.
The true problem, the great systemic failure you have laid bare, is not one of software or sustenance, but of **backbone**.
In my day, we dealt with men of conviction, even if they were grievously mistaken. Now, it appears Washington is run by a cast of ill-prepared understudies and puppets, seeking to win elections by the rather unsubtle method of importing their voters. This is not democracy; this is a sophisticated form of electoral arbitrage, and frankly, a pathetic one at that.
And as for this obsession with 'misinformation,' why, the very concept of requiring censorship suggests that the purveyors of the truth are simply too timid to make their case! Mr. Musk demonstrates admirable enterprise, of course, but having to spend forty-four billion dollars merely to ensure the right to speak in a supposedly free nation tells me the rest of the republic has gone entirely soft.
You do not need a computer game to cultivate concentration; you need a proper job, a sound moral compass, and the courage to endure the inevitable spite of the envious. If one possesses the truth, one should simply state it—**firmly and without apology.** Anything less, and you deserve the mediocrity your political class is serving up."
