I'm surprised it isn't already illegal to install software on someone's phone without their consent or knowledge. Sounds like a form of property damage.

Are there any rules about the legitimacy of the results when not enough people vote? 300x8 ballots is not nearly enough for a city like NoLA.

I've listened to Jordan Peterson a lot in long form conversations. This is my generous interpretation of his views.

Peterson believes that all humans have a hierarchy of values and desires.

Eg you go to work in order to get money in order to get food in order to live in order to play tennis in order to enjoy yourself....

At the top of this hierarchy is the thing that you're ultimately after in life. Jordan defines this thing as "god" and defines the pursuit of it "worship". Therefore, everyone has a god and everyone worships.

He also believes that the past doesn't really exist, as much as our societal memory of it. He would say that the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible is "True", because it is the archetypal brotherly rivalry that we all embody in some sense.

Putting this together. The Bible is "True". Everyone has a "God" they have a personal relationship with and that they "worship".

He is essentially defining things such that everyone is a Christian. Then he says that people just don't understand what Christianity really is.

Maybe im just dumb. But when I read "shrink the economy", I thought it meant negative GDP growth. But they actually mean a 0.06%-pnt reduction in the positive GDP growth. i think they should have used a better word.

Someone secretly recorded their private conversation and leaked it? How does that happen?
