I spent way too much time trying to figure out what the hell this means. You could post this on "I'm 14 and this is deep" and people would not question it was written by a 14 year old.
I finally just had to break it down bit by bit to try and figure out what he was trying to say and why it was nonsense.
I think the big problem is that Elon is assuming direct opposites always exist.
He is assuming if people believe "might makes right" is bad then "weak makes right" must be good. Why is "weak makes right" the opposite? That phrase is commentary about the abuse of power and how the victors write history. The only opposite you could derive is that the weak are unheard.
He's inventing a position that I don't think exists. Sometimes strength is required to do what is right. But with great power comes great... you know the rest.
He then invents another position where the oppressed are good and the strong are bad.
Again, oppressed and strong are not opposites.
However...
You can be both mighty or weak and be in the wrong.
You can be oppressed and bad. (See: Caitlyn Jenner)
You can be strong and good.
But you cannot be both oppressor and good.
You cannot be a billionaire and not oppress.
The strong must try to protect the weak.
And the non-oppressed must help fight oppressors.
There is no morality where oppression is justified. We must unburden people from their oppression no matter what. And whether they end up being good or bad, strong or weak is up to them.
I think Elon has heard people saying all billionaires are evil and this is him trying to counter that. I don't think he succeeded and it's hilarious how many of his stans replied to this like, "Yeah, you are so right" even though this is an incomprehensible attempt at philosophizing.

He posted it on Twitter, if anyone still goes there.

In the history of modern art, there are certain highlights we all learn about.
You know about this one.
You've heard of this one too, from Rene Magritte.
But today, friends, in front of the US Supreme Court, our society saw the premiere of a new, wild juxtaposition:

I cannot find a photo of Mr. Parlato's sign anywhere, and it is KILLING ME.

had a minor crisis when 12ft.io went down yesterday and thankfully it's back now but this seems like a good opportunity to compile a list of similar paywall-evading tools in case 12ft ever gets canned for real:
12ft.io: the legend himself. definitely my favorite of the bunch by virtue of being the easiest to use (and the easiest url to remember), but it's configured to disable paywall evasion for a handful of popular sites like the new york times, so you'll have to go elsewhere for those.
printfriendly: works great; never had any issues with removing paywalls, even on domains that don't work with 12ft.io. since this site is literally designed to make sites print-friendly, it might simplify the overall formatting of the page you're trying to access, which can be a good or bad thing. my only real issue is that the "element zapper" (which lets you remove content blocks from the print-friendly preview) is a little sensitive if you're browsing on a touchscreen device, which means you might accidentally delete a paragraph when you're just trying to scroll. but if that happens you can reload the page and it'll revert everything back to its original state.
fifteen feet: basically a 12ft clone, minus 12ft's restrictions. haven't used it much since I only discovered it yesterday in the wake of 12ft's 451 error but it seems to do the trick.
archive.today: an archival tool very similar to the wayback machine, but it also works as a de facto paywall removal tool. (the wayback machine seems to remove paywalls as well, but archive.today has better UX imo and is way faster to use.)
and an honorable mention for sci-hub: only works for scientific/academic journals, not random news articles, but the other sites listed above only work for random news articles and not academic publications so you gotta have this one in your toolbelt for full coverage. pubmed is your oyster.

I have one of those robot vacuums but there's a mirror in the house low enough to the ground that the lidar scanner can see a nonexistent room in the reflection so on the navigation map it's generated I have a room that doesn't exist that I have to forbid the vacuum from entering.

all of your feelings are valid as in “worth acknowledgment and internal consideration” but some of your feelings are also stupid and mean, and you need to deal with that shit without making it anyone else’s problem
