Accept outcome of unfinished process

A Covid Vaccine announced days after Biden wins. What a coincidence that all the world problems disappear with Joey stepping up.

 

We weren't speculating that weeks ago or anything.

 

A brand new disease, that we hardly understand, and a magical potion for it in a year...

 

Vs viruses that have existed for thousands of years that we understand well and we don't even know if it's possible to make for those.

 

Oh we all just get lucky with everything at once do we?

 

Or have the pod people have been rewarded for their service like obedient children?

 

Or Did Trump actually bank on losing to fraud and a vaccine would be announced only upon a Biden Victory?

 

If he still overturnes the election, and gets Covid cured, that would be quite the nice win/win.

 

If Biden is sworn in the vaccine will be ready in a reasonable time frame. If Trumps overturns, it won't be ready.

 

Place your bets.

As far as I can tell, the media's delcaration instantly cured COVID. And there's so many here who say there's no such thing as magic. Clearly, magic is real.

was reading about scott adams and he believes in magic.

"The idea behind writing affirmations is that you simply write down your goals 15 times a day and somehow, as if by magic, coincidences start to build until you achieve your objective against all odds" - scott adams

Your sense-making apparatus would benefit from more exposure to Scott Adams.

its a quote from his book where he talks about the laws of attraction and i cut off the end of it quote "But some of my goals involved neither hard work nor skill of any kind. I succeeded with those too, against all odds. "

That's right - Scott is talking about progressive system-building. Rather than focus on your goals, focus on creating the system that will lead to their achievement. Accept improvement in small increments over time. Persist. 

 

You're sense-making apparatus would REALLY benefit from more exposure to Scott Adams.

Throw out whatever smears you want - they just show your ignorance. Have you read the book you're quoting?

now, i might spend a few minutes to a few hours scouring the internet for reasons why you might be wrong, but i'm def not going to spend hours reading a book for that purpose.

 

"The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles."

So the answer is no. You don't think people should be counciled not to hit those who are weaker than they are, regardless of what they say or do?
