May 16, 2024 Lehan Edirisinghe

A film-nerd night of Darth Vader awe, George Lucas admiration, John Williams, Jurassic Park, Hans Zimmer, and the larger craft that makes Star Wars feel immortal.

Brain Drain, Leadership Scores and Sri Lankan Candidates

11:00 p.m.

"Brain drain."

The only place in SL where this happens

The brain drain is unreal

Jonathan's a 6,500

But the guy's very stupid

Step 1:

He has got some terrorists thrown in jail

Step 2:

Instead of writing books of his heroics, he hides his face for years, running away endlessly, like a real dumbass

So the guy's not very sharp

He's quite stupid

One of the dumbest people I ever met

***

Harsha has a very high 6,600

He is more fit to be leader or the opposition leader or presidential candidate than either this Sajith or Ranil

(Or me!)

(But no vision, really, so nope. )

I like Harsha De Silva

Capable fellow

You can take that guy to the white house, and not look like a third world thug

He has a clean rep here which is very

Jeez

***

If I was not running:

I recommend someone else, I guess Lasith or somebody

He's a good vision-based leader

They can do it

I think Wasantha will deal with the criminals

Hemachandra will look after our Sinhalese, and nationalists, and innocent people in a very competitive world

I guess, Sangeetha will help with championing women's rights, or even fighting these sophisticated threats

I'm a strong, solid composite of these people

There's a lot of people there

Mikey!

I guess, Tania, but only if she straightens her curly hair. My mom Shanika had curly hair too. But I kept telling her how ugly it looks, till she straightened her hair. I straightened her out like Moe Green helped Fredo.

I'm a good person

Lalith's a 7,600 and then the truth comes out, there are indeed smarter people, better managers, more insightful, not bloodthirsty, power hungry psychopaths, who lie dishonestly about how they're fictional, hiding behind American Psycho, claiming to be an actor, or fiction writer, who are likely, to kill people..

But the problem is those people, Chamath who is a 8,000, or Shemara a 8,500 or Dilhan, who is a 8,750 perhaps with those Temasek experiences, the problem with them is they don't have the cold bloodedness, only I ever talked about going the whole "let's do a for profit theravada, which allows us to pay for ethics, to earn real respect" bit, then pumps funds into everything Sid warned against

There are probably good people in the US or UK or elsewhere, we can poach, like the British gov't poached Nick Clegg to be their DPM as well, off of Facebook

Leadership Ratings, Sri Lankan Candidates and Voter Fit

Lehan's rankings of people's leadership abilities:

Larry Page: 10,000

Sandberg: 9,900

Schmidt's a 9,500

Yes, Google did hire the best and brightest. It paid off.

Lee Kuan Yew was a 9,000, now it's a 5,000

Okay, so the thing here, is that, when you rate things, it's often subjective. There is a lot of I dunno. There's unfairness. In IMDb, there are movies, which are old, which are rated very highly. But a lot of them, young people wouldn't want to watch. Dr No, is about a rapist, serial killer and sabbateur spy pretty much. It's hard. While everyone else, who's already seen is demanding their money back with low, punitive ratings for seeing a copy or remake, which is why Scarface or the 2nd Sandler's Longest Yard, all sort of didn't reach their fullest ranking heights. With my ratings, these people, they did something that made sense at that time. So dinosaur LKY is now dead and gone, for some time. The problem is that the world has changed. The demands of people have evolved. They don't tolerate as much or have the same aggregated world views. These can be seen in generational divides easily. Such as young people siding with Palestine over Israel. There's a lot of stuff going on with changing cultural attitudes, values and familiarity.

Lehan is a 7,500 only

My personal ratings on myself, are kind of inflated. This narcissism, is quite common in all leaders. I just call it self-confidence.

Elon Musk: 6,500 to 8,000

The guy is more successful, but he makes big mistakes. He's a trauma patient too. He is working like a workaholic, to try to avoid remembering child abuse. Like I █████████████████████. As it's potent enough to distract my mind from child abuse memories or horrors. However, see, he doesn't work as smart as he should. Guy misses the mark, then suffers large scale failures, resulting in large recalls of Tesla cars, which is not very healthy. He overcompensates for burn out with some more of his hard work. It's a ironic.

Lee Hsien Loong, is a 4,500

Tharman Shanmugaratnam is a 4,600

Dilhan, 8,750

Shemara a 8,500

Chamath, 8,000

Lalith's a 7,600

Hans is a 6,700

Thilanga's 6,400

Wasantha, 5,600

Hemachandra, 5,400

Prasad Samarasinghe, 4,500

Harsha 6,600

Ranil's 5,200

Anura 4,700

Sajith's a 4,000

The problem here is they are having different focus areas. Anura is going to try to be a social hero. Where he is trying to decently say 4/21 was wrong, to promise to bring criminals to justice. I've done the same. But I have specifics: fines, plus I know who did what, better than the press or foreign intelligence services. Everyone else, also likes how much of a ISIS-phobe I am. Ranil, is trying to pitch himself as an aged, veteran admin. But this isn't successfully marketed to anyone below 35. The guy's voter base is all elderly people. No young people. The guy is not going to win this, even if he stands the best real chance. Sajith has more youthful audiences, but can't capture our people's imagination, for what SL should idealistically look like. The other presidential candidates have all failed to do so as well. ████████ seems departed from reality. Guy has a good business plan, which does make sense. But he is "corrupt", a "crook", he's likely "laundered funds" to get to where he is, and somebody who is succeeding with a criminal system, will not be so likely to change that crooked establishment. He can't openly defend himself or others, will run if you mention Thajudeen or Lasantha or anything related to crime.

They tend to do better with Sri Lankan audiences. People in SL, are used to or familiar with them, or their ways of thinking. I'm an oddity. I'm an outcast or outlier, who isn't really easy to digest. I'm alcohol, in an alcohol-free culture. A corrupt culture ███████████████████████████████████████████████████ who don't like meat or intoxicants. The others all played by the rules they were forced to play by to succeed, the others, got jealous, resentful and seek to be or stay in a unhappy state by choice, by a ████████████████████████████████████████████. The country is allergic to me, they are likely to refuse me, or resist me, so the others will likely win out. Although, it's unclear. We will just have to see, as a lot of people want life, not to perish.

If you ask people in the developed world, to vote, they will all, 70 to 80%, easily pick me, especially Trump's white voter base, the Democrat's rich, educated elitist voters, and maybe everyone else.

But Sri Lankans, generally, they will not accept me. Which is why they (the other three) have a good, solid chance.

The SL people here, will not be so ready, to accept, █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████, even if you claim then that banning farming makes no sense which is likely to be better received (35 to 45% acceptance), better yet, "let's stop giving our Sinhalese money to the ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████" (might be at a populist 60 - 70 approval).

It's up to the people here, and perhaps how we market or campaign, and then improve their ways of perceiving us and our value propositions to improve their lives, where they are forced to accept responsibility to live their lives, with their decisions.

What I see, is after 70+ years, with over I dunno, has it been 10 or 14 election cycles? Maybe 15 general meetings to pick the boards of directors, they have all seemingly worsened SL's people's lives.
