Cuomo Ruined... By This? And the "Driving While Black" Study.

The quality of ideas seems to play a minor role in mass movement leadership. What counts is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world.  —Eric Hoffer

First, Cuomo mandated nursing homes take Covid patients.

Then, his top aide admitted to withholding the nursing home death toll from lawmakers because "we froze."

But now it looks as though Cuomo might be through.  Why?  "Sexual harassment."

Our society is puritanical about 1's and nonchalant about 10's.  Be sure to question your society's values so you don't accept them in all their absurdity and morbidity.

"See, I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something, how careful you have to be about checking the experiments, how easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it really means to know something. And therefore, I see how it is that they get their information and I can’t believe that they know it—they haven’t done the work necessary, they haven’t done the checks necessary, they haven’t done the care necessary. I have a great suspicion that they don’t know how this stuff is done and they are intimidating people by it."  –Richard Feynman
