@hrtlndbitcoin @adamisapleb I’m quite fond of @JakeOrthwein and his series. Always interested in people who react to his work. Also, I get something out of his curation that goes beyond my work, so I’m curious what you may have learned from him (rather than me) as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@dwane_mann Every time activists release an anti-collegial statement as part of an intersectional shakedown, the research community doesn’t need to engage or respond. Destructive activists lacking a solid point need to be ignorable by researchers. Otherwise they run the research show. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Let’s do science and make it safe to just do science without having to worry about anti-collegial colleagues, interpersonal destruction and the identity-baiting side-hustle. It’s not about fairness anymore. It’s an intersectional protection racket: let’s stop paying protection $. — PolitiTweet.org

That said: it’s also high time for gay, non-binary, POC etc., to stop cowering under the unwanted activist leadership. I get it. The activists are going to go after you. They *will* target you, your grant, your reputation & your Wikipedia entry. You still gotta stop cowering. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Maybe it’s time to screen out *destructive* voices even if they appear to support healthy values in which we‘ve always believed? There are MANY PhD researchers in these ‘marginal’ STEM communities who resent & *fear* unelected/unwanted representation by anti-collegial activists. — PolitiTweet.org

@xnert Way behind you all. Just trying to catch up… ;-) — PolitiTweet.org

An idea being suppressed here is that foreign governments do regularly tactically enrich families of US politicians particularly indirectly (often through children and/or siblings etc.) or asynchronously (such as through ‘philanthropy’ or ‘speaking fees’). — PolitiTweet.org

The Gated Institutional Narrative (GIN) must be protected by the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (DISC) As explained by Jim Baker, FBI SpecialAgent Chan, Yoel Roth, etc. I wish it were otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

@taketheseodds Perhaps! That happens. Or you may be making an assumption. If Elon is engaging in theater, am I objecting because I am totally taken in by the theater or am I objecting because the choice of theatrics itself seems incredibly dangerous, ill-considered and counter productive? 🤷‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

@lexfridman @elonmusk Oh wow. — PolitiTweet.org

If it helps, think about how many people want humans to succeed in all these endeavors: energy, survival, freedom, free speech, etc. Most of all: survival. Good luck. — PolitiTweet.org

You just paid more than 50x the endowment for the Institute for Advanced Study which employed Einstein, Von Neumann, Dyson, Oppenheimer, Weyl, Gödel, Weil, Atiyah, Check yourself. Snap out of this brother: you aren’t getting us off 🌎 this way if that’s really the ultimate goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

There is a lot going on right now. I know very little about what is going on behind the scenes. From the retail seats however, the messaging and process seem really unnecessarily messy. Maybe I just don’t get this. Still hopeful, but I don’t think I’m close to being the only one. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Know when you can use some help from people who want to see you succeed. Especially at something new. https://t.co/4P6D7Zur9S — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

The suspended party has done some lousy stuff to some very decent souls. But what matters is process. We want the process to settle down to reasonable rules, evenly & fairly applied. If that’s what generated her suspension, that’s fine. This feels unnecessarily idiosyncratic. 🤷‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

You know that glee…that positively elated childlike glee…that the Woke experience when folks who they claim to be horrible cruel sociopaths are cancelled or banned or suspended? You’ve seen that? Well…Oddly. I’m not having that right now. In fact, I’m getting a bit concerned. https://t.co/UXVnA7ShIb — PolitiTweet.org

@mtaibbi I’d like to know too. — PolitiTweet.org

@Razzlenana In the past, there was a lot of information that was public but wildly inconvenient to get. — PolitiTweet.org

FINAL MORAL: If you want to be a critic, a journalist, a comedian, or even a troll, develop a code of ethics. Don’t hybridize w/ abuse Check in w/ yourself as to whether you’re really working out abuse, rage, envy or status issues. Try to minimize unnecessary damage to others. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

MORAL V: Free speech is about restraining ourselves w/ culture so that we don’t need rules to tell us what we can say. It’s NOT a free-for-all for sadists. Free speech would NEVER develop in a culture in which Mores were not strong, shared and effective in prohibiting sociopathy. — PolitiTweet.org
