For many years, I thought not having access to WyScout was a limitation on my dreams to become the best scout around. I made do with maximizing what I could from comps and glimpses. This is the unknown story of how I turned my disadvantage into a breakthrough career 🧵/

The problem with assuming injuries will stop Arsenal is that you have to assume it doesn't stop the other teams as well. No one knows what will be the case. What we all know is that Arsenal are stronger than anyone with their full strength side.

It's fine, any team with the concentration of our injuries will drop points, especially away to the top sides. Likes of Chelsea and City have already shown that. We are no superhumans. It is clear that we will run away with it the moment we get everyone back. No fear.

What does Gyokeres even do?

The selection was wrong today—no leggy runners—but I think it's a function of physical readiness rather than tactical choice. That is to say, the runners were just not ready to play a full 90, in which case you want to bring them on and not have to take them off.

Where are the runners?

Imperialism is not why Western nations became great. Imperialism is a consequence of becoming great.

The only way to really behave well is to assume yourself a representative of something greater than you.

@robkhenderson any existing proof for this?

I have come to the realization that self-control is the highest possible value you can select for in a partner. Tattoos, extensive dating history, extensive sexual history, overindulgence in one's own attractiveness, talking bad about past relationships, attachment to politics &

Say thank you and God bless you, Mr. Nonewthing

you are welcome

Look, I want Bouaddi as much as anyone, but I still need my Kennet Eichhorn on top.

Atheism is fundamentally undercut by the Darwinian principle that there is no surviving atheist society. Atheism is a weak belief system that will literally kill your genes and can only survive in small doses in a religious society. It is as such a very arrogant belief system.

A sufficiently large and complex entity is imperceptible to a sufficiently small and simple one. A rock is far more meaningful than the whole expanse of the Earth to a dog. Call it the Dividing Proposition.

There is no good or strong enough humanist argument against prediction markets, just as there was none against pornography. Without God, why not? A society only remains sane by authoritarian fiat. God or Mao—choose today.

Prediction markets for opinions reward everything and create nothing.

Prediction markets for opinions are an attack on the gift of agency and long incentives. Why should Elon Musk start a Tesla when he can simply make a purely financial bet for it and get rewarded? Buying stocks gives you ownership and funds a venture. Prediction markets reward

I think a civilization’s economic advancement can be directly traced to the scope and efficiency of its prediction markets.

You cannot do everything. You have time, mortality & scarcity as your enemies. You cannot make money in every new venture that comes your way. Learn to stick to something. Not every job is meant for you. Not every woman must be pursued. Stick to one, pussy.

If you are smart, you are either running a full-blown gambling syndicate or not into gambling at all. It’s never in between. Do not gamble if you are not smart enough to run a successful gambling syndicate.
