Twitter is bad at inference. Where did I come out against “free speech”? I came out against holding a Twitter poll and hiding behind the “voice of god”. What if the poll had gone the other way? It shouldn’t have made 1 damn bit of difference. Honestly, Twitter can be moronic. https://t.co/qPMra4mXZq — PolitiTweet.org

This is such BS. I’m sorry. But you lost me here. Are all major decisions going to be Twitter polls? Ever faced “the voice of the people” as a mob? Is a mob god? C’mon. You wanted to reinstate him. So you did. Simple. — PolitiTweet.org

@sneakin @TOEwithCurt “Follow the silence” is my advice. What do you mean? — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@TOEwithCurt As to intuition….we don’t and shouldn’t have much. Hard UFO/UAP data is supposed to be all about the unprecedented. Disinformation and superstition is all well precedented. So intuition should say it’s all BS. The whole thing comes down to hard data. Intuition here is useless. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@TOEwithCurt I think that there is a lot more deliberate mis/disinformation right now and a modest increase in the level of information. So far as I can make out, they seem related. It’s as if as soon as more needles appear, haystacks arrive that make them hard to find. I’m pretty annoyed. — PolitiTweet.org

So long as this remains a 20th century war, I believe he is correct. [This is of course poetic Language. Loitering munitions being an obvious counter example. But you know what is meant …] — PolitiTweet.org

Inspiring post from Kherson by my good friend @DouglasKMurray. “What has happened in Ukraine is a 20th century war, taking place in the 21st century. At the places of fiercest fighting…there are trenches & dugouts that look like something from WWI.” https://t.co/aQB38LjbaD — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@AnnaGBusse Agreed. I think I better understand your perspective and I don’t disagree with your claims much. I just don’t think there is a long term future if that is the reality we accept. Most of the time we WILL be fine. Mostly nothing will go wrong. We can at least agree on that. 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

@AnnaGBusse Anna, I don’t get the conversation. Maybe the idea is that you’re a political scientist & I’m focused on physics. Our non conventional weaponry is post business as usual IR and PolySci. We are supposed to sense that everything is different post 1952-3. This won’t work for long. — PolitiTweet.org

@AnnaGBusse Didn’t see a response. So I’ll start filling in. The has been post Poland (1999?), Latvia (2004?) etc. coming into NATO. It’s extraordinarily close to the Border, particularly around Lviv. Russia isn’t using a proxy army. The level of weaponry used. Etc This is a higher madness. — PolitiTweet.org

@seanilles Speaking obliquely, you can make a charade into a reality. In the 1970s, we forced newspapers to become newspapers. May say more later. Thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

In summary: “Your version of our behavior is extreme, dangerous, low level and makes us sick. It makes us both look bad and we are nowhere near being as bad as you are. You should stop doing badly what we do well and leave it to us so that we can continue doing the lord’s work.” — PolitiTweet.org

It is time to move on to the next level: “Our conspiracy theories are real while yours are fake. Our conspiring is by the book while yours is disgusting. Our challenging elections when we lose is different from yours: yours is unhinged while ours is based in fact and statistics.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
I admit to having been totally baffled by the frequent claims that only one major US party questions our elections or engages in conspiracy theories. I know of no major Party, nor news organization, that refrains from conspiracy theory when pointing the CT finger at others. — PolitiTweet.org

@AnnaGBusse Sorry. Do you not see a difference? Honest question. — PolitiTweet.org

@AnnaGBusse The period of 1945-today has been fairly quiet, free and prosperous in (western) Europe. And nuclear weapons have been responsible for some measure of that. Which is disguising what has happened. The confusion of S Pinker “Everything is Better.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@AnnaGBusse Again, we superficially agree. I don’t think we’d have had 75+ years of this kind of peace under the old pre-nuclear rules. The expected value of conflict is unbelievably WORSE not better. Same point: you appear to be focused on maximally likely outcomes vs my expected value. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@AnnaGBusse This strategy of rational incentives among skilled players with non-conventional weapons, well aware of game theoretic traps is coming to an end. Proliferation alone will extend catastrophic weaponry to players all up and down the skill spectrum. We can’t keep playing like this. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@AnnaGBusse We’re talking on different planes Anna. You’re talking about rational incentives, individual conflicts & maximum likelihood. I am talking about expected value. My point about Belgrade: “[T]he city was battled over in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times.” #RussianRoulette — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@JozefPryzma But when I was watching this I had never heard of mouse utopia. And evolution used to be presented more as progress. Now we talk more about selective pressures. But it was somewhat more normative in the 1970s. — PolitiTweet.org

@JozefPryzma No kidding. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@AnnaGBusse I find the Berlin Holocaust memorial to be an extraordinarily visceral physical exploration by way of metaphor that you can wander into madness barely noticing what is happening. Europe excels at this. And Western Europe has seemed very safe for many years. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
@AnnaGBusse Uh. History? High density of reasonably wealthy uncomfortably similar rivalrous advanced societies? Cultural/Ethnic Connections to both US and Russia? Rapid NATO expansion? Not sure what we are discussing here. Just take Belgrade alone: https://t.co/qgdaaisPR3 — PolitiTweet.org
