Economist (and Nobel laureate) Paul Krugman: “Control of Starlink must, one way or another, be taken away from Elon Musk. It’s a matter of national security: we cannot let private individuals make foreign and defense policy, and it would be totally irresponsible to leave a crucial military asset in the hands of a racist, authoritarian conspiracy theorist.”

The moon is hanging bright and low
The children are outside
The ghouls and goblins stay and slow
Breathe each breath with the tide
“The fat one’s mine!” a goblin croaks
And points a finger bent
The rest agree, and in their throats
Cough bile, blood, and spent.

“Like Jesus, Satan...presents himself as a model for our desires, and he is certainly easier to imitate than Christ, for he counsels us to abandon ourselves to all our inclinations in defiance of morality and its prohibitions. If we listen to Satan, who may sound like a very progressive and likeable educator, we may feel initially that we are ‘liberated,’ but this impression does not last because [he] deprives us of everything that protects us from rivalistic imitation. Rather than warning us of the trap that awaits us, Satan makes us fall into it. He applauds the idea that prohibitions are of no use and that transgressing them contains no danger.
The road on which Satan starts us is broad and easy; it is the superhighway of mimetic crisis.”
— René Girard, ‘I See Satan Fall Like Lightning’ (trans. James G. Williams), ch. 5
