@alexandrosM *You* may have the last word, whoever *you* are. Better? *Your* quest to wear out *your* welcome by becoming relentlessly annoying has succeeded. Congratulations. Be well. — PolitiTweet.org

@IzuZaziZu @Plinz @SamHarrisOrg I miss talking to Joscha when we would run in to each other in gatherings. Always has fascinating perspectives. As with @SamoBurja, @HiFromMichaelV, @balajis. etc. Extremely generative minds all. I really enjoyed the recent golden age of Bay Area heterodoxy. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Checked in with Sam. He did it himself. I gotta admit, my model of many things needs a tune up. I logged quite a few hours in conversation with @SamHarrisOrg from 2016-2019. They are not helping me to predict Sam in last couple years. I wouldn’t have guessed this for example. https://t.co/OBgdxZtK6G — PolitiTweet.org

I clearly don’t understand modernity. — PolitiTweet.org

@RubinReport @elonmusk @SebGorka Agreed. — PolitiTweet.org

@TroxOfTheTrade @elonmusk Mars ain’t for me. That’s Elon’s thing. But his reasoning is the same as mine up until the Mars part. Canonical so far as I can tell. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@elonmusk Appreciated Elon. 2 Qs: A) How do we put together a simple package to show the 🌎that this distortion hidden from view occurred? B) Can we help on Twitter? As Ukraine/COVID shows, multi-planetary risk diversification became a near term emergency. Can take answer offline. Thx. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@RoyPrice Exactly. We want knowledge of the additives adulterating our food. We want to know that our pharmaceuticals are safe. Naturally: We want to know the same thing about our ideas, art, conversation and political speech. Not sure why this is difficult. @vijaya ? @elonmusk ? Anyone? — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@robert_paulsin @vijaya @vijaya ? She usually doesn’t respond. — PolitiTweet.org

@IsDrainBamaged What is the package that produced this graph? Data source? Thanks! — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

If there was no throttling, it would of course be great to find out it was all imagined! Let’s find out what these folks did directly to manipulate our communications and whether it was done in coordination with government. What do you say? Thanks in advance. ;-) — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Can we get audits of how much these manipulators controlled/distorted the world’s online conversations by throttling, bots, shadow banning, banning, etc and general dirty tricks for years? This question isn’t going away. The graph below is an *indirect* throttling indication. https://t.co/J1V4WBxuZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Let me say, I know I don’t believe that he has been honest. But I don’t know if that is largely because he is charged with impossible duties, such as under the BWC. It’s to easy to hate him for lying to us; I want to understand who he was & to what we obligated ourselves in 1975. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

38 years in the same job. 81 years old and about to turn 82 next month. Was already 43 when he assumed the leadership of NIAID. He was 34 when the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) came into force on March 26, 1975. I’d read his true biography. I don’t know who he really is. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

What is the most extreme example you can find of this phenomenon where “top critics” on ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ adore something absolutely detested by audiences? Challenge: Can you beat the 92% spread here? Can we aggregate the results to learn something about our betters in critique? https://t.co/uHFib1D98M — PolitiTweet.org

@FredoCCorleone @adamcurry I believe it came out of Japanese disaster relief theory. Like 20 years ago. Went through Haiti and the Clinton Global Initiative. Etc — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Note Added: what spurred this was the fact that I couldn’t easily find the source of the claim that Gates was in Indonesia at this particular G20 meeting, and so I started wondering about rumors and what propels their repetition and spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

I don’t tweet much about Gates/Schwab because I don’t understand what they’re doing. But what they do is SELF-EVIDENTLY creepy as hell. If you hate conspiracy theories, explain the right way to worry about such individuals having a special deal/role in our universe?🙏 in advance. https://t.co/9VpZ9kHMqS — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Assume that it is simply normal & rational to worry about unelected individuals of either unimaginable wealth or unimaginable influence as well as what goes into your body, your freedom of movement, etc. Assume that it is rational not to want to be tracked/surveilled. Then? So? https://t.co/cIsvykUG4B — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

What’s the proper respectable way to be alarmed about Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, The Great Reset, loss of National/Individual Autonomy, etc? I get that many don’t like conspiracy theories. So turn the tables. This *is* UNDENIABLY creepy: what’s the NON-conspiratorial explanation? https://t.co/bPsGdNiTGu — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@ironxlung Wasn’t that my point? That free speech absolutism is not what we mean by free speech according to the courts? Nvm. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@attarian13 Exactly. That is what needed to be said. It didn’t change the effect of trapping bots either. The poll was fine. The reinstatement was fine. The bot trap was fine. The grandstanding excuse was appalling on such a consequential issue. One man’s opinion anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Sad to have to deal with the mesmerizing effect of Trump’s tweets on the platform. Glad that he is no longer banned and I opposed his ban to begin with. I am sure that will confuse many. I’m sorry. I can’t help. It’s a free speech thing. Be well. 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

If you want to chase free speech absolutism be my guest. And when you run into child porn, defamation, stolen laptops, libel, coordinated terror attacks, publication of plans for WMD, etc, etc., you can discover all the exceptions yourself that are ALREADY baked into free speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

And just to remind everyone: I DON’T believe in free speech absolutism. You will notice that one by one the so-called free speech absolutists encounter edge cases they can’t stomach and WILT. I instead disappoint early so I stay the course (with exceptions patterned on case law). — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Honestly, this stuff is pretty consequential. There should be clear process & rules that apply to us all. The ad hoc nature of this appalling. But whatever. You can misinterpret that too “Dude doesn’t understand marketing genius!” I get it. Nothing matters. Ha. #Edgelordz4evah https://t.co/uUu0lAnS7B — PolitiTweet.org
