We've now confirmed that it takes longer than 4 months to teach him something. Further testing ~~might be needed~~ is probably gonna happen whether we want it or not.
I'm more amazed he hasn't thrown Isreal under the bus already. He hasn't had an issue with throwing people under the bus before, and yet somehow Israel perseveres despite Iran publicly humiliating him for months.
Makes you wonder what kind of dirt Isreal has on him.
Just for the record it's "Israel." Not real.
by his own admission, he acts the same now as he did when he was 5, and I see no reason to doubt that assessment. so it apparently takes more than 75 years to teach him anything
I literally don't get how someone can be that... stagnant. Like my personality ebbs and flows constantly based off of what information I take in, sure it usually doesn't effect how I act and present on a day to day but like any form of evolution a little over a long time is actually quite a lot.
Mental disease lol
imagine a 5-year-old with enough money, that every time a normal 5-year-old would be denied and throw a tantrum, he can instead pay someone enough to do whatever he wants. do you think that kid would ever meaningfully change his desires or behaviors, and grow into a socially and emotionally healthy adult?
Perhaps not functional but I would still expect some amount of change, but then again I'm more or less forced by instinct to collect knowledge so it may just be alien to me. It's quite literally incomprehensible that someone would through intention or nature not evolve as a person past the age of five, hell id expect puberty to cause something to shift.
I guarantee, the tests will end eventually
