Imagine a world of only NTs, the most rational place.

I believe that for nearly every decision that Elon Musk has to make, he internally evaluates its likelihood of success (in percentages). This might seem weird, but at the macro level when the pattern of decision-making becomes very complex, it is probably an immensely powerful tool to realise a highly ambitious long-term vision. There will be individual setbacks given the probabilistic nature of the evaluations but taken as a whole and in the absence of drastic contingencies, progress is almost ensured.

Maybe this is one possible definition of power?

Definition, no. One of the means to procure it, could be.

You're right, this is actually what I meant. I was going to edit my post but anyway, you fixed it before I did. :p

EDIT: although maybe it could be considered an organic part of the development of individual power. Proceeding in that way about decision-making is already, in itself, a way to keep control over one's environment and sway it in unusually influential ways. But yeah, ultimately probably more a means to power than power itself, understood in the socio-political sense.

This got too theoretical for me ya'll.

I just want to become President of the United States.

@Pin in a nutshell:

"Guys, let's theorize power!"

"...... OK that's a lot of talking. Actually, I don't want to theorize power that much, I'd rather just have it, like right now."

:biggrin:

I suspect that you enjoy the suffering of others- schadenfreude.

I lolled at this. The idea of @Wyote being the king of schadenfreude just sounds so hilariously far-fetched :tearsofjoy:

The completion of a task can give me profound pleasure. It's also only then that I allow myself some leisure-related rewards. It's only healthy logic if it's not pushed too far, though.

God, who gave us the impossible task of believing in him. *flees*

Ya know, you're going to have to at least indulge in it if you wish to pursue this path. Or do you want to run your country into ruin like your current potato does?

Well... my dear Ginny, that's a fair point. However, I don't think I'd ever be as reckless and erratic as our current President. I expect the occasional scandal, however, nothing like him. He's nuts.

Polls are important.

I saw Pin's post and was about to respond with exactly this, then I scrolled down and saw you'd already posted it. :tearsofjoy:
