wow.
This is a stunning development.
How do you keep winning?
It's very simple.
You do all the hard work, I just help you along.
The art is for me to feed pieces to you
and make you believe you took those pieces,
because you are smarter and I am dumber.
In every game and con there is always
an opponent and there is always a victim.
The more control the victim thinks he has,
the less control he actually has.
Gradually he will hang himself.
I, as the opponent, just help him along.
Is that the treasured formula?
The formula has infinite depth
in its efficacy and application,
but it is staggeringly simple
and completely consistent.
Rule one of any game or con: You can only
get smarter by playing a smarter opponent.
Rule number two.
The more sophisticated the game,
the more sophisticated the opponent.
If the opponent is very good,
he will place his victim
inside an environment he can control.
The bigger the environment,
the easier the control.
Toss the dog a bone, find their weakness,
and give them just a little
of what they think they want.
Check.
So the opponent simply distracts their victim
by getting them consumed
with their own consumption.
Check.
The word "snake" springs to mind.
Don't knock it.
You only get smarter by playing a snake.
The bigger the trick and older the trick,
the easier it is to pull.
Based on two principles.
They think it can't be that old
and they think it can't be that big,
for so many people to have fallen for it.
Eventually,
when the opponent is challenged or questioned,
it means the victim's investment
and thus his intelligence is questioned.
No-one can accept that,
not even to themselves.
Checkmate.

Nope. Almost nobody did.
Then the pope did.
Then all hell broke loose.
And this pope did the same for the ChiComms in 2018, and renewed it this year.
Kind of.
God gave Adam dominion over all the world, including all the animals.
Adam and Eve lost the entire world to the serpent, the devil, who rules this world currently as the god of this world, for the time being.
That time is coming to an end.
Of course it is. Go up to BLM and say White Lives Matter and find out.
