      It seems like either you or I might’ve completely misunderstood something here, please explain the equivalence.

        this diagram is showing where planes that got shot and returned to base. a naive approach to the problem would be to reinforce the bits that got shot up. except what this diagram is actually showing is where planes can get shot and still safely return home - the places where there’s NO damage are the critical areas of the plane since no plane returned home after sustaining damage to those parts. that is, it’s a diagram showing survivorship bias.

      The quote implies that you gain wealth and privilege as you age, eventually to the point where you’re a home owner paranoid of their own neighbors. The idea is that you’re a white person living in an imperialist country and that you were a leftist during college, but afterwards you got a management job at your dad’s factory and realized capitalism is good, actually.

    Shortly before his death, as he was failing in mind and body, Molotov, who was cared for by his grandchildren, was watching TV one day when Soviet Foreign Minister, Edvard Shevardnadze came on the news making some statement. Molotov rose from chair in a rage, shouting “What the hell is he saying! That’s revisionism! Pure revisionism! Worse than revisionism! Has he gone off his head? I hope Stalin hasn’t gotten wind of this yet, or there’ll be hell to pay. Tell Shevardnadze I want to see him in my office TODAY at 4:00 pm SHARP. And he better have a good explanation for this garbage!”

        I think the term used by them was “braindead” and I find that considerably more problematic than “you have no brain” because it’s an actual medical state of being whereas the other is just being a bimbo blob-no-thoughts
