Charles Lindbergh

But like, I want to wrap things up on this part in that there is this element and I couldn't help but feel this and watching it.

You know, there's this great documentary, a PBS documentary on eugenics and sort of Lindbergh and that whole era of trying to create essentially a perfect race.

Now, I don't think that Elon Musk is attempting to do that, but there is this vibe.

He is creating communities around his Starlink businesses in Texas, and he's literally creating schools in these communities that teach... things that Elon Musk once taught, like that's happening.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Charles Lindbergh and that whole era.

And that probably was the most disturbing aspect of this documentary for me.

And for all of his lawyers, he's not going to be able to avoid that for very long.

Because imagine Charles Lindbergh, a hero, an innovator, an idol.

He was on the side, to be fair, as a lot of Americans were.

And they said, in World War I, it wasn't worth it.

There was a military business version of McDonnell Douglas and FDR started converting DC-3s into bombers and giving them to Churchill to try and stave off fascism.

but there was a guidance system on these DC-3s.

And what if Charles Lindbergh had the ability to remotely turn off the guidance systems and all of a sudden London was burning because they didn't have the ability to deploy their defensive bombers? That has happened here.

What would they have done in the middle of the last century if they found out that a private citizen was purposefully throttling back the defense capabilities of who the American public supports and considers an ally in the defense of a murderous autocrat.

Capone was particularly popular in countries like Japan and Eastern Europe, but his legend is ubiquitous.

And he's one of these very popular figures who emerged in the 1920s, who became iconic in Charles Lindbergh, the aviator, was another.

He was really different, because as I got into Capone, I discovered that it was like peeling an onion, and there was a lot to say about him.

He never sought to become a gangster.

But the cyclone as well, apparently terrifying.

Charles Lindbergh said that it was scarier and he got more of a thrill than when he was flying an airplane at top

speed.

And I guess back in the day, roller coasters were a new experience.

Webb won.

The Lindy Hop, named for Charles Lindbergh's 1927 hop over the Atlantic, grew out of the Charleston and other jazz dances of the time.

It was open and energetic with knees bent and bodies low and swinging, which allowed dancers to come up with all sorts of exciting moves.

While Frankie Manning's appearance in this story is fictional, He is a real person.
