15. I'm just fascinated by outliers...

Sat Jun 13, 2026, 09:58 PM

Saturday

Whether it's a fighter pilot shooting down 352 planes and not dying by being shot down or a non-combat incident... or a WW1 soldier who killed 25 German soldiers, silenced 35 machine guns and captured 100+ prisoners in a single battle... or Julius Caesar in Gaul?

Scipio defeating Hannibal?

Or Elon Musk... their "goodness" or "badness" is irrelevant.

There have been a lot of rich people fighting for wealth and none have accomplished what he has... the question is WHY?

That's the study of outliers.
