At no point did I say “smart”, “genius”, or “stupid”. I said “intelligence”, which was your choice of wording, in my rebuttal.
I also made no claim regarding Musk directly. I just pointed out the flaw in your argument that there is a correlation between a person’s wealth and their intelligence.
Money ≠ Intelligence and your entire argument seems to be based on this erroneous assumption.
No-one becomes a multi-billionaire due to a lack of intelligence or common sense.
Not “due to”, but people all thoroughout history have amassed great wealth despite a lack of intelligence. Especially when they are born into privilege.
Not born wealthy, but there was Ronald Read who lived a modest life resulting in a multimillion dollar estate when he passed in 2014. He left most of it to local library and hospital.
While not a term maybe a short blurb like “While I am not religious, I admire many of the lessons of Jesus as portrayed in the Bible, and I try to model parts of my life after his example.”
If applicable you can also add “Along with others I consider to be positive examples for leading a good and virtuous life.”
Yes. Thanks for catching that.
There is a lot of good messaging in the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, etc. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate that. Just like how somebody who appreciates in the mission and words of The Amazing Randi does not need a special label.
The labels start to come into play when discussing your belief or disbelief in a god or gods.
It’s not like it was a hostile take over. They played their part when Musk talked shit and they sued him to follow through with the purchase. They could have easily kept it, but they wanted the money instead.

What is the “I’m being sarcastic” emoji?
Are you advocating tags for all inflections of verbal speach or just sarcasm?
I left Private Internet Access (PIA) for Proton VPN after the Kape acquisition years ago. Still happy with my decision and I recommend Proton VPN to anybody in the market for personal VPN services.
You aren’t necessarily wrong. Have you ever seen Friends without a laugh track?
Women are not good for the update.
I think my phone just let slip that might be what save us from the AI uprising.
I feel like this applies to all social media. Why single out Lemmy? Do you feel it is more toxic than other social media sites? Do you have any examples of the type of toxicity you feel are most prevelant, along with where (community / instance)?
Nooooo! 😭 I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.
The month is Compuary, which is a new cyber-month they added just for doing hacker stuff.
A what now? To do what again?
And they do sex stuff up there as well.
Reeeeealy?
There’s Baltimore Airport, lab-grown to be a swimsuit model but programmed to kill.
Obviously a complex character with depth.
There’s Crusty Silverware…
Say no more … please.

Seriously, I need to read this book or my life may never feel complete!
Would you be okay with non-smoked marijuana usage like vapes, edibles, tinctures, drinks, etc?
