There is nothing more important than defending Western Civilization

So I am happy to say I'm bringing the USS Hornet Defense Tech Hackathon back as an annual tradition.

360 hackers on a WW2 aircraft carrier. Overnight in the bunks.

Imagine trying to stay quiet about something when you named your supersonic airliner company Boom.

The root of all evil is belief in a fair double standard

If you want to know if any society, culture, religion will engage in evil acts without remorse you need only ask one question

"Have they codified a justification of a double standard?"

In other words, Kants categorical imperative is the simplest litmus test for civilizational morality

"Act such that your principle becomes a general maxim"

This immediately banishes slavery, theft, deceit, rape, murder, and countless other lesser evils.

Very few societies have achieved this. Perhaps some only asymptotically.

your imagination cannot reach the wonders you will live to see

This is a dangerously wrong statement

Exponential processes are extremely common in our lives and experience

It's just that there is no unbounded exponential process in nature

So every exponential process becomes a phase in a sigmoidal growth curve
