FWIW, before retiring I often found myself working with many of the highly intelligent people you referenced and do not feel in peril regardless of my estimate of them.

Projection. The working with threat models is part of having the claimed capability.

I also have worked with said people. You are only partially correct. There are a few geniuses and a lot of worker bees. Focus on the former. They exist and are not to be trifled with.

So, you were deflecting and continue to do so.

I used the same words as you and then for some reason you pointed out that many of these highly intelligent people aren't geniuses.

Nope. I'm staying on topic. Deflecting would be you saying "trump said x", And I say, yeah, but Hillary...

And I think you got it backward. I thought you were saying they were not geniuses and I was making the argument that some of them are.

Related: I worked at Fort Knox for a while. One of the guys there spent almost all his time on Facebook.

Actually, you changed the topic of my post, which is deflection.

Here's what I wrote: "... I often found myself working with many of the highly intelligent people..." Looks like you're the one who gets thing backwards and I did not say they were not geniuses, nor did I imply it.

Well if we can't fight about politics we can at least fight about psychology, grammar, articulation and interpretation.

I took that statement as sarcasm. Sorry about that.

I suppose they can do it anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. Hawaii would be a big place for them. Snowden did all his NSA work on Hawaii.

I think in terms of the CONUS only. I'm in Kansas, never seen an ocean in my 56 years of living.

I'm looking for proof that the USAF is the top dog on the internet. I read an article about it 15 years ago that was amazing.

Can't find it right now.

I don't feel imperiled at the present time.

Just saying that the guys with the AR-15s, talking on Facebook about a revolution will find themselves in an outdoor stockade. Without their AR-15s.
