I hear you but maybe not everyone wants this. It sounds great but it's also high investment/high effort and sometimes hurts and disappoints. I think some people are fine with having shallower relationships than that.
> Most people are completely and utterly uninteresting
How do we even define interesting ? Like interesting opinions/hobbies? Good storyteller ? Who cares about that. I do need to like you and you need to be an agreeable person imo, but no having a real unique life or opinions is really not that necessary imo. Having a sense of humor is a big plus to me though.
Depends on how we define interesting. Interesting in itself is pretty overrated imo, I don't need you to be some artist who lives in the streets and is addicted to heroin - I mean that's really interesting but not something I want in my life.
Be boring - have a 9-5 job like me.
But be agreeable, be interested in me as well from time to time and we can relate.
Whether we truly hit it off is not about how interesting I am to you or you are to me I think.
It’s 2026, every group is secretly in charge to someone. The Russians, the deep state, the Indians [1]. It’s a chaotic world and even the brightest among us are struggling to thread a coherent narrative about it. That leaves lots of room for the less bright to do their thing.
No. I don't deny other groups could get attacked sometimes or have something vile said about them, but it's not at the same scale and geographic spread the Jews are having it.
> The CIA’s “red teams” are tasked with developing analysis and ideas that challenge prevailing assumptions and expose groupthink or blind spots that can take hold within the intelligence apparatus.
So this is not some kind of consensus view within the CIA, it's a think group trying to come up with none consensus scenarios. We don't get to see the report itself of course so we don't know how likely the writers think this scenario is. Writing something may happen is great - if it happens you're a genius. If it doesn't happen - you wrote "may".
I'm not saying this definitely won't happen , but nothing makes me think this is likely anytime soon and I don't think the CIA itself thinks it is likely any time soon.
> The animals we raise for slaughter are often mistreated
"Often mistreated". Dude, they are held in tiny cages injected with hormones and what not till we kill them so we can have a big mac. It's very hard to argue we do any of this for nutrition reasons, we do it because we like the taste of burgers and roast.
