The Rational Bombing Bit Continued and Ukraine Cost-Benefit Analysis

Tim continues the meditation/bombing riff, then pivots to criticizing people who justify Ukraine war funding as a "cost-benefit" way to drain the Russian military while ignoring the human cost to young soldiers.
- Tim mocks the rationalist approach to bombing: 'Let's be rational and logical so we can kill all these kids.'
- Meditation instruction for a drone operator about to strike an apartment building, manifesting a world with 'righteous fire.'
- Tim identifies the contradiction: people claim to oppose theocracies while supporting rational bombing campaigns.
- When pressed on the Gaza choice, Tim says he's just asking to 'tone it down,' like a cool dad at a party asking to chill before the cops show up.
- He's trying to eat lunch while watching murders on TikTok every 30 seconds, a lobster roll in his mouth.
- People argue Israel needs to beat Hamas, but Tim counters that Israel has already beaten them—it's not about military victory anymore.
- The idea that you can eradicate everyone with a problem against your country is insane; you'd have to kill everyone.
- But the moral question remains: Ukraine and Russia conscript 18, 19, 20-year-olds and throw their bodies at the conflict.
- In every war there's a point where you have to stop and ask what the hell is going on, without needing to support Hamas or Putin.
