Yes, I believe that is controversial and worthy of condemnation.



Not caring if everyone looks like you is distinctively different from actively wanting everyone to look like you. Don’t shift the goal posts.

The reason Americans have the reaction you describe is because our country has proven, through its very history, that disentangling collaboration from heritage is a tremendous boon to productivity and growth. That was the core of the American experiment, and it is arguably the most valuable lesson that we have taught to humanity.



Now that is obviously different from the recent wild overreaction of actively promoting unqualified, bad-intentioned individuals because they have a different skin color than you. We obviously don’t make things better by simply throwing together a bunch of random, unqualified, different colored people. If all that Miller did was push back against that concept, then you would be correct; there would be no need for controversy around him.

But he doesn’t do only that. And claiming that he does is a major shift of the goal posts. The best of the American system is the meritocratic advancement of individuals. The left severely misses that when they elevate people solely because of their skin color. Just like you miss that when you diminish people for the same reason. Both of you are demonstrating the same core failure of thinking, and both of you deserve the corresponding condemnation.

They bought one of the five majors, a studio who is responsible for 14% market share. And if this headline is accurate, they will use that market share to further diminish the viability of an industry which currently operates as a direct substitute to their primary business model.



Is keeping those two concepts distinct from one another really difficult?

frick that. Nothing about this is a compromise. This is big money exploiting market power to further consolidate markets. Trump’s DOJ needs to reject this acquisition bigly. Anything else is a betrayal.

This year, who would have been your 4 or 2?

It’s not unspoken… they are very honest and open about it.


They think ASI will be a benevolent god operating under their control. It’s fricking dumb that we’re even letting them try.

If you’re evaluating the quality of a relationship based on how easy it is to get out of, you’re doing it wrong.

No. That’s only a perspective that would be held by a sock puppet or by someone truly disconnected from reality.
