    Question Times Person of the Year Predictions

    it's that time of year again. who do you think it will be?

    My guesses:

    • Trump (obv choice)
    • Mueller (also possible, not sure tho)
    • Women (times does this sometimes and gives it to a group, totally conceivable they do something stupid like "the year of the women" or something completely retarded)


    I can't really think of other people that have hugely impacted the news. If you want to correctly predict, it needs to be someone that's been in the news a lot and someone the times will want to circlejerk over (either negatively or positively)

    The lethargic tortoise? Why? He doesn't do much, besides squat in place, in congress, and receive a bigger paycheck, and extras then all of us here combined.

    it's not about who you like jade it's about who's had a ton of influence and has been in the media. he rammed kavanaugh through in spite of unprecedented opposition, held down the fort and delivered a solid victory. he's def a contender

    Time has become irrelevant to me. I can detect fake news and Time is it.
    I didn't renew my subscription to Time for the office waiting room, made a new one for The Economist.

    Time's person of the year will likely be something like#metoo women...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
