The people that are less cognitively aware & have lower levels of honesty-humility are extremist side choosers. In fact, you have to work at not simply choosing sides, because #nepotism is an evolutionary adaptation.

#Religion? Choose a side! #Politics! Which side are you on? #War? Where do your loyalties lie? Wife or Husband arguing with a stranger? Whom do you side with? regardless of whose wrong or whose right?

New Word: Patrimonialism

In its governmental guise, patrimonialism is distinguished by running the state as if it were the leader’s personal property or family business. It can be found in many countries, but its main contemporary exponent—at least until January 20, 2025—has been Vladimir Putin

apple.newsOne Word Describes Trump — The AtlanticA century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how the president thinks about the world. February 24, 2025 What exactly is Donald Trump doing? Since taking office, he has reduced his administration’s effectiveness by appointing to essential agencies people who lack the skills and temperaments to do their jobs. His mass firings have emptied the civil service of many of its most capable employees. He has defied laws that he could just as easily have followed (for instance, refusing to

Trump has nominated Jared's dad to be ambassador to France. A felon, Charles Kushner pled guilty to 18 felony charges (including tax evasion and witness tampering) and served 14 months in prison.

Prosecutors said it was a crime of "revenge & intimidation."

Trump pardoned him in 2020.

"At least 5,000 attendees of the United Nations’ massive COP29 event, set to take place in the country’s capital of Baku later this month, will do just that. They’ll stay in ultra-luxurious rooms at the Sea Breeze Resort on the Caspian Sea, with access to a seven-kilometer-long beach, over 50 bars and restaurants, and 60 swimming pools.

The topic of the day being climate, there will also be time for symbolism: According to a state news outlet, “heads of Azerbaijani and international companies, politicians, and cultural figures” will plant trees in the resort’s new landscape park.

But what these visitors may not know is that the entire 500-hectare Sea Breeze complex belongs to Emin Agalarov, the former son-in-law of Azerbaijan’s authoritarian president, Ilham Aliyev. Government procurement records show that he received a $5.2-million government contract to host COP29 guests, without any competitive tender process. (The contract was first reported by independent Azerbaijani news outlet Abzas Media.)

This is emblematic of COP29, the twenty-ninth annual U.N. conference on tackling climate change, and the first to be held in a former Soviet republic. In fact, reporters found, nearly every local company named as one of the conference’s “official partners” is owned by the country's ruling family or someone with reported business ties to them.

These COP29 partners, which include a conglomerate owned by the president’s daughters, will benefit from exposure to an international audience, access to a special exhibition zone, and sponsorship opportunities."

OCCRP‘Official Partners’ of Azerbaijan’s COP29 Climate Summit Linked To Ruling Aliyev Family and Their Inner CircleWhether it’s Silk Way West Airlines, the PASHA Holding conglomerate, or fabric company GILTEX — everywhere this year’s international visitors in Baku look, they’ll see companies that have been linked to the family of Azerbaijan’s authoritarian president, Ilham Aliyev.

For decades, #Trump has cited his attendance at what was then called the #Wharton School of Finance as evidence of his intellect. He has said he went to “the hardest school to get into, the best school in the world,” calling it “super genius stuff.” June 2019, Trump pointed to his studies there as he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to conservative economist Arthur Laffer.

Background on this #Trump topic:

#Trump has referred to his #Wharton degree as ‘super genius stuff.’ An admissions officer recalls it differently.

James Nolan was working in the University of Pennsylvania’s admissions office in 1966 when he got a phone call from one of his closest friends, #FredTrumpJr. It was a plea to help Fred’s younger brother Donald Trump get into Penn’s Wharton School.
