Why, cause he suspended journos that doxxed him after a car that just had his kid in it was attacked? That’s not an overreaction, that’s what every good parent would do.

    7:04 As smart as Musk was there is no way anyone at that table would believe their nerd engineer is going to go on to lead the space and car industry. But I guess he was the only one at the table half the age of everyone else. I also love the foreshadowing of Musk in his car showing that he has an interest in cars.

      I would assume the game itself is running at 640X480, and probably the video source is 480i, but presumably deinterlaced for TH-cam. 360p wasn't really a thing back then. (And hell, we didn't refer to display resolutions with the number+i or p designations back then either. I don't remember seeing 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p before like 2008 honestly. DVDs were 720X480, and the most common monitor resolutions were 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768, and 1280X1024, with CRT monitors not having a native resolution like today's displays do.)

      It’s wise of you to use the word prophetic, the whole thing feels like God helped with the editing for people to see now what was easier to see about the future back then. To call Gates a less then benevolent dictator who paints himself as benevolent is exactly what’s going on. He isn’t elected yet government lets him be involved in our water sources, our food sources, he is involved in our science, he is involved in our children’s education, he is involved in our medicine, he is involved in our technology, he is involved in our access to information, he genuinely manipulates our entire culture And there’s nothing benevolent about his crazy ideas and out of touch with reality nature. If there ever was someone who needed to touch grass and humbled to God, it’s Bill Gates and the influencers who control him. He would do well to see the Isaiah 53 savior of Matthew and John instead of thinking himself to be the savior. His dad especially was just plain evil. I think there is a part of him that thinks he can do good, but their is no good without God.
