Just A Moment of Pondering

 Elon Musk quote:

"My biological neural net concluded it's important to buy Twitter. If Twitter was not bought and steered in a good direction, it would be a danger for the future of civilization. So that's why I bought it."

If you ponder upon this....Elon isn't talking about a year or two into the future....he's literally talking about a century or two into the future.

This is like of those Star Trek episodes where Spock has come to realize something pretty bad, gone off and disappeared for a week, figured out a way to travel via time, and reset history to undo what evil has occurred.

Before You Get All Hyped-Up to Hitler-Speak on Twitter

 You need to answer five questions....to get into a state of Hitler-speak:

1.  What country does Hitler have birth-right and citizenship from?

Hint: It's not Germany.

2.  Who hired Hitler after WW I for a job?

Hint: Has something to do with the Secret State Police of Bavaria.

3.  What was the intent of his job in Bavaria, after WW I?

Hint: Undercover work on a new political party (yeah, the Nazis).

4.  When Hitler entered Germany in 1913....what did the Bavarian police do?

Hint: They evaluated the situation....sending him back to Austria to participate in the mandatory conscription episode.  Upon arrival, a medical physical took place, and he failed (no reason ever given), and in Feb 1914 (before WW I)....he was sent back to Munich....clear of the draft.

I should add....around seven months later....he ended up volunteering for the Bavarian Army, and easily passed the physical.  (Yeah, it begs questions).

5.  Odds of surviving from summer 1914 to November 1918, as a member of the German Army?

Hint: You can do the math, but one out of every four who participated....died before the end. So it is remarkable that he survived the war.
