Why? Because targeted manipulated feedback creates its own reality. It may start off as bullshit, but it becomes real via Kayfabrication. Oddly I covered this years ago! Just didn’t see it as a big threat so didn’t break it out. A huge blunder on my part: https://t.co/6lQJqQE9fl — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Lastly this can easily be done in a surgical/bespoke fashion. Friends no longer know when a friend is in trouble. Or 10,000 accounts may find the exact same obvious misinterpretation. With Feedback capture you never know what is happening. It’s one of the biggest threats today. — PolitiTweet.org

This is basically the idea of Iago from Othello. When I have warned you always to “look for Iago”, the underlying concept is Feedback Capture. Othello actually becomes a different human via alienation of affections. Is Othello a good person? Hard to say. He is Iago-programmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Conversely, Feedback Capture works to target an audience of an individual who sees the same FUD vocabulary used repeatedly using the previously strategies. The point is that you use black box algos, anonymous accounts, perseveration, FUD, to manipulate BOTH individual & audience. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Audience Capture is merely a specific case of the more general concept of Feedback Capture. A platform can confuse & gaslight a target. Or a dedicated harassment community can repeatedly paint a target on an individual. Or you can hire a farm of bots to confuse a target/audience. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

You may be undervaluing how devious it can be. Indulge me. You can ensure, for example; that ideological critics see 100%. They then ridicule the idea of censorship because they do in fact see all tweets! When I pushed “AudienceCapture” I erred. “FeedbackCapture” is the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

@BowTiedIT I hear that a lot. Hopeful it may be soon in our rear view mirror. — PolitiTweet.org

@BowTiedIT I hear that a lot. Hopeful it may be soon In-N-Out rear view mirror. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@SJ_Cap I don’t. True. But I’ve been out here since 2009. So this isn’t my first rodeo either. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@Alicethegoon5 @elonmusk I thought the outgoing engineers might do it. Actually. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@montuakmo66 No. But I did wonder whether the outgoing folks would flip the switches themselves to muddy the issue… — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@TheRealBrandMcN I have a lot of assumptions that I keep to myself. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@TommyRo Actually, it isn’t as easy to tell as many think. CYA is the easy part. And I know all the guesses. I have mine as well. But yelling “Profits!” Or “Tyranny!” or “Culling!” Or “Scientific Arrogance!” or whatever doesn’t equate to knowing what the decision makers thought they did. — PolitiTweet.org

[Result: Throttling still on. Red meat tweet after 20 minutes on an under 700K account. I meant what I wrote, but it was also a test. I know from years on the platform; that’s not possible when people are this rightfully upset.] https://t.co/T3Tzfw2WpP — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Also, trying this out to see if @elonmusk is really in charge. MORAL: The COVID narrative was the GIN. The destruction of all credentialed dissenters was the DISC. Now you know. [Welcome Elon. Thank you. How can we help? Good luck & please please don’t cock it up. ;-)] 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

So my point is this: Science needs hearings and REHABILITATION of those who were destroyed by this unholy workaround, likely of the Geneva and Biological Weapons Conventions via “Nudge” coercion to evade Nuremberg restrictions in name only. It’s pitchfork time in science. Enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

I still don’t know why Daszak/Fauci/Collins are lying. I get that it is a workaround. But what I don’t understand is why we are continuing without hearings. I grew up with hearings into Watergate, Iran Contra, Domestic terror by FBI, etc. This world with no hearings is new. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

If you screw up this badly with millions DEAD, you don’t get to keep your secrecy. Or your grants/program. Or your workaround. You have to lose. You have to disclose. You don’t get to stay secret. Too many dead. Don’t like that? Tough luck sweetheart: Picture the bodies stacked. https://t.co/CLgcYMmJbR — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

First of all, because it destroys science’s hard won credibility. Fauci/Collins/Baric/Daszak don’t share Bioweapons workaround information. Which Is ‘normal.’ But they MASSIVELY worked to destroy their colleagues like @DrJBhattacharya of Stanford who were doing actual science. https://t.co/lBxGGNbFvH — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

But I do know what I’m looking at: a massive pre-internet style *workaround* Gated Institutional Narrative campaign (or GIN). This is exactly the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex or DISC that I introduced long before COVID. And it is as close to evil as anything I know. Why? — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Quite honestly I have a particular hatred for Public Health and other DC professionals that prevent smart non-DC science folks from asking obvious seminar questions in the middle of such broad narrative campaigns via reputation tarnishing. Hatred is probably too mild a word here. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

And to this we see both reactions as before. But on *steroids* this time. A) You unspeakably freedom hating evil godless tyrannical medical traitors of pure satanic evil. B) Hello? It’s just Public Health. Read “Nudge”, chill out & grow up. Drama-Queen much? It’s not personal. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

E) Anyone who so much as *questions* any of the above is a despicable anti-science fringe charlatan crackpot psychopath who must be publicly reputationally incinerated w/ a quick & devastating takedown of racist pseudoscience conspiracy thy beliefs as this is Life&Death. Ahem. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

This Workaround requires a narrative that says many things: A) Vaccines are costless & safe. B) There is NO benefit to any other therapeutic, necessitating vaccines. C) The virus CANNOT be from a lab working around the Geneva & Biological Weapons Conventions. D) No forced jabs. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

More or less Washington DC wants to force…and I mean FORCE…us all to vaccinate using unapproved drugs. This could be for our benefit or not. But they can’t do it under the letter of the law. So they do what is TOTALLY NORMAL to people who work in DC. They workaround the rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

RULE: No importing ordinary labor for jobs Citizens can do. W-A: Reclassify aliens as extraordinary or “students.” Etc. Then we come to this moment: Science, Emergency Use Authorization, and Nuremberg rules against forced medical interventions. Or: “Science vs TheScience(tm)” — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

I’ve noticed that outsiders are of two minds about this. A) That’s outrageous! B) That’s totally normal. Some examples. RULE: USG can’t spy on US citizens. WORKAROUND: Get Allies to spy on your citizens. RULE: No offensive Bioweapons. W-A: Do convertible ‘defensive’ research. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Washington DC lawmakers make rules to restrict what USG units may do. Units almost always work around the letter of the law to thwart that intent when intent would negatively affect their ability to perform. Examples of this are everywhere. This leads to DC “Workaround culture.” — PolitiTweet.org
