And because media does not reflect it. And because words mean nothing, we don’t react. This was the scene where I was. No one was reacting. There was no indication anything was happening. This is what Arthur Koestler called “The Dream Barrier” screening our collective reality. https://t.co/4ZbH304Fw6 — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t remember what the current President said about “sacred obligations”. Or what Article V was intended to mean. “Sacred Obligation of Article V”. He repeats it. We don’t remember this. We intuit that it means nothing. Media does not now reflect it: https://t.co/fuQ5T4NfiT — PolitiTweet.org

For those of you who simply cannot figure out what I’m talking about: Look at the ordering of headlines. Our strategy is seemingly to ignore the gravity of what apparently happened yesterday. https://t.co/ckI9hSmXk5 — PolitiTweet.org

My understanding of what happened yesterday was clearly not shared by many others. The universal hypnosis barrier is all fairly complete. And, perhaps, that *is* our ultimate strategy. So be it. Not for me. Regrouping. https://t.co/k04oC7YWaX — PolitiTweet.org

Hopefully this is wrong somehow. If it’s is not wrong, then it becomes very important to stop playing according to any old script. There’s no pretending it is still possible to play according to the script. This is not pre-1945 Europe. I do not understand what we’re all doing. — PolitiTweet.org

BTW: the cheap point is “It has always been this way.” Notice that no society of this complexity could have been built with this level of disagreement on reality. Engineering, mathematics, language and law would be impossible. The point is the scale and scope must be truly new. — PolitiTweet.org

@pohuja1 Totally disagree. We have never seen the scale of this in the free world. Everything has become like the JFK assassination in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

The sheer number and broad variety of easily decidable propositions that are now mysteriously *not* being neutrally adjudicated by journalists, scientists, academicians and public hearings is, I believe, unprecedented. Try naming a few. I found it staggering as an exercise. — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller @balajis Matt, I know you are super smart. Can you flesh out the argument a bit more? I’m genuine in not getting the morality play. Because SBF was an enormous donor to traditional politics. Just totally lost. Thx. — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller @balajis Huh. I don’t think that’s what Crypto “is”. It’s an equivalence class of protocols. Some of those are used to confederate as in DAOs: a form of civics / governance. Some crypto folks work with governments as in El Salvador. Also, wasn’t the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising such an opt out? — PolitiTweet.org

I tried to warn about this. Oddly, it seems to have no impact. Once again: “The idealism of every era is usually the cover story of its greatest thefts.” Just apply it now to Effective Altruism…and after a while seeing the pattern becomes second nature: https://t.co/zshsruPPWC — PolitiTweet.org

@GordoRabinowitz I loved it so much my mom destroyed it deliberately so she would never have to read it again. “Do you like my hat?” “I do not.” The raw honesty of canine interlocutors was spell binding. And that fasciliated the dog party in the tree which, w/o honesty, would be impossible.;-) — PolitiTweet.org

What is the most boring sounding book that changed & improved your life immeasurably? Three candidates from my life that, frustratingly, I can’t generically recommend to friends: A) Einstein Manifolds by Besse. B) Turkish Grammar by Underhill C) Science Since Babylon by Price. — PolitiTweet.org

@Deepneuron @SBF_FTX I can’t explain curvature tensor to 5 year olds. I admit I don’t even understand the rule of “if you can’t explain it simply you don’t understand it.” It seems totally wrong to me! Oh well. — PolitiTweet.org
