Yeah I guess I didn't read very carefully

I don't know if this theory has a proper name but I have seen it multiple times.

If a species has the ability to push their technology to the point they could become a space faring species, that technology will destroy the civilization before it can get there

Some disclaimers

I am a 50+ year old American

Up until 10ish years ago I had at least a better than average understanding/knowledge of WWII

My ex's grandmother's family was from Hiroshima and they had family members killed in the bombing.

All that said as tragic as they were I still think those bombs were the correct military decision at that time. I would be willing to have a rational conversation about it though.

The situation in Gaza is completely different and Lindsey Graham and the rest of the GOP are fucking ghouls.

In a normal world it makes some sense.

If you own a catering business and are running for congress there's nothing wrong with you hiring your own firm, AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, for an event rather than hiring a competitor.

The problem is is that Trump has broken everything, and now takes what should be reasonable rules/laws and turns them into more grift.

Modern American capitalism doesn't care about long term brands. Shareholders demand quarter on quarter growth.

What do you think Trump/the GOP's ratio would be?

I hope his afterlife (yeah I know) is exactly what he deserves based on his actions in his physical life.

I've been playing a lot of Against the Storm. A rougelite city builder.

It's in EA but 1.0 releases in like a week.

It's like an algebra equation. Genocide is on both sides of the equation, so we can cancel it out. Then we are left with Biden being a ridiculously old Boomer and Trump wanting to finish destroying our democracy.
