    Exiting my time machine I grab the baby while its mother’s back is turned and abscond to a distant year where I can read this textbook out loud to a baby.

    I’m often asked “would you go back in time and kill baby Hitler?”

    howwww often exactly is Ken Cheng asked this? I would like it quantified please. Like how many people have approached him and asked him this question in the past year.

      It’s just one of those things that comes up in casual conversation.

      Where’d you go to school?
      What do you do for work?
      Where did you grow up?
      If you could travel back into the past and kill Hitler as a baby, would you?

      They had mutual funds and they were doing the dumbest shit with leveraging them in the late 20s and well you probably know what happened next.

    I mean…I don’t want to be the guy to say European culture was the problem, but there were German concentration camps when Adolf was just 16 years old and British concentration camps before even that. Additionally Hitler wasn’t responsible for eugenics, that was just Western European science originating in…the 1800’s I believe? I mean scientists were literally publishing books on how the poor and the disabled were destroying society, and eugenics continued for a short while after the end of WW2 (until very recently as well if you include Israel and what’s being done to people in detention camps at the border in America). Killing baby Hitler doesn’t stop the psychopathy. Apparently the Nazis were huge fans of Ukraine because they were impressed with how dedicated the Ukrainians were to killing (Poles? Jewish people?). Balfour for example aided in the creation of Israel not out of a love for Jewish people, but because he was a rabid antisemite who wanted to remove Jewish people from Europe. Churchill actually admired Hitler and sent a letter telling him he actually agrees with him.

    Basically Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin.

    Hitler had some good ideas he just didn’t embrace vertical integration and didn’t understand KPIs. If I had a time machine I would go back and give Hitler Scrum.
