NYT and New Yorker and other establishment media outlets are corporate businesses. Their only interest is to push their propaganda narratives to further their own interests and protect their owners and other corporations.

Talent definitely exists.

However, it takes more than talent to achieve things in life.

Most successful people in any industry leveraged some talent, with drive, persistence and LUCK to become successful.

Facebook owns mobile advertising space. Their ad targeting data is part of duopoly with google, which owns search targeting data.

Facebook and google both needs to be broken up with anti-trust rules.

These days “facts” are politicized to further political agenda and push a narrative.

Inconvenient “facts” are hidden and censored from platforms.

News people don’t tell the news and truth tellers don’t tell the truth.

The competition look is wringing out that last 10%. Women can maintain the 90% look indefinitely with basic maintenance diet and exercise. The basic Instagram model plan.

The extremes is what’s interesting, that they only go through the cycle if there’s competition. And, it’s fascinating to see in person how their bodies can balloon up so fast.

Many women choose to do Figure and Bikini competitions over physique.

Lots of women use the competitions as focal point to work on their bodies, fitness and get results.

I know several women that are generally out of shape frumpy looking, but spent time to get into shape for figure completions. They look amazing with model perfect bodies for competition. Then, right after competition, they celebrate by binge eating junk food for days and get fat. Then, the cycle starts over again.

Not only this, but very few people even ask the simple question, how do I become a better software engineer.

The four quadrants of competence applies.

Q1. Unconscious Incompetence. Q2. Conscious Incompetence. Q3. Conscious competence. Q4. Unconscious Competence.

Most people never leave Q1 phase, just muddling through their career and stagnate or burn out.

It takes lot of effort to jump from Q1 to Q2 and become aware how difficult things are in reality. Some take effort to become better and these types will usually succeed over time.

Lot of senior level people end up in Q3 and it's comfortable zone to be in. But, it takes more significant effort to jump to Q4, where they can gain additional pull to be able to lead and make significant more money.

It's significant journey and the timescale is not linear, it's logarithmic in some situations and extremely long in other situations.

I am clearly stating that raising cows and livestock for meat are better than industrial crops ground up with food coloring and odd shapes.

Eating cow and livestock meat is better for people and environment.

Please look into these modern industrial plant processing and production for vegans, vegetarians.

They will be much better off eating good quality meats from reputable sources.
