The Churches of Christ thing is especially interesting because it's largely unknown outside of the South, and it's never been much more than 2 million or so adherents.
So, per capita basis, alone, the church has produced an phenomenal number of superstars.

One final point. This kid didn't go to high school. His formal education stopped at the 8th grade. The Amish don't go to high school.
He might be in his late teens, certainly no older than 21, and he has probably has more money in the bank than you do.

Forget "net harm to the world". This schmuck caused grievous harm to actual people, individual people who have names, families and lives. "Net harm" is an abstraction. People aren't.
Sam Bankman-Fried will be sentenced tomorrow. During his house arrest, I asked SBF how he felt about the prospect of life in prison.
“If my life ended now, I almost certainly would have done net harm to the world… the fact that I have done net harm weighs enormously on me."

Not the whole military, but a significant percentage will not follow orders to attack their fellow citizens.
Pentagon people who've gamed out a civil war scenario are convinced that upwards of 50% of the military and three-letter agencies (FBI, CIA) will desert to the rebels.

Someone finally said it! Movies are a visual medium.
Other than Villeneuve, the only two directors of the past 30 years who seem to understand this are Michael Bay and Terrance Mallick. There's been far too much telling and not enough showing.

“Frankly, I hate dialogue. Dialogue is for theatre and television. I don’t remember movies because of a good line, I remember movies because of a strong image. I’m not interested in dialogue at all. Pure image and
