I would also like to see Al Franken back in the game. After what @LeaderMcConnell & co. did, they need to be opposed. Forcefully. Like this. But from inside the Senate. It has become clear to many folks that destroying @alfranken was a serious mistake. If you agree, say so? Thx. — PolitiTweet.org

Peers, Reviewed. You can learn a lot about academe by reviewing which peers are factually accurate about the *actual* behavior and history of peer review. The bottom line is that Peer Review is able to pass Peer Review mostly because it doesn’t work. If it worked, it wouldn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to comment on your answer, please give us an idea of your generation/approximate age. I’m curious if there are generational differences. — PolitiTweet.org

@OzBueller To be clear: I have enjoyed durian much more than once. But only one good experience was beyond words. — PolitiTweet.org

@anoraktoo Love rambutan! Also Salak oddly enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

I’ll go: Mine was at the end of a hike near Hue in Vietnam. I was hot. The durian was chilled and creamy. It was my ONLY transcendent durian experience. I would never have understood this fruit without this one anomalous experience. I’ve never successfully recreated it. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dobberdude More detail please. — PolitiTweet.org

“My best durian experience was X!” Tell us about X? Thanks in advance. https://t.co/hQGrXtQfhN — PolitiTweet.org

Well worth reading this 🧵 . Many excellent points. I wonder if Glenn now agrees that manufactured perma-crises of supposed bigotry crises fit under this rubric: Epidemic Racism Epidemic Transphobia Epidemic Islamophia Epidemic Homophobia Epidemic Misogyny Etc. just the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@ModernApocrypha You did me a solid. I was just reaching for what I thought of as “the right word”, but it doesn’t help if it isn’t understood (and I certainly didn’t mean ‘developed’!). Beyond the word though, it’s a marvelous concept. Maybe we should bring it back for the era of social media? — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

Ok. So I wasn’t aware that “deloped” was confusing. Sorry about that. But in a rage filled world where no one seems to do it anymore, it is all the more worth remembering this noble concept, as well as the custom among gentlemen of returning the favor. https://t.co/NeQA0fSvaS — PolitiTweet.org

@ModernApocrypha Ha! You had me worried. Thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

@ModernApocrypha What is the error as you see it? — PolitiTweet.org

I thought that this was very mature, measured and fair after VERY unfortunate & unfair barbs were exchanged. Sam was an easy target here. It’s clear that Bret deloped in a world that brays for conflict as entertainment. I admire that example in this time: https://t.co/bXB36Bec1M — PolitiTweet.org

@MarcBodnick @nhannahjones Not sure what she is on about trying to relate the Blues in 2022 to the Delta Blues in 1870 or even the 1930s. Let’s find out. She is trying to give me a history lesson as if I am totally ignorant. So, let’s see. Shabbat Shalom. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

@MarcBodnick @nhannahjones That the blues came from the south? Yes. That the blues were almost exclusively Black back then? Yes. Although they borrowed. But Yes. That Black folks were oppressed? Don’t know anyone who’d disagree. That this is *why* they were developed? That’s very simplistic & not clear. — PolitiTweet.org

If you are in LA, The great Kirk Fletcher goes on at Harvelle’s in less than 30 minutes at 9:30pm. 10$ at the door. Feet from the stage. Nobody here yet. What is wrong with the US? We invented the blues. https://t.co/GTk4pJFghe — PolitiTweet.org

Love you all. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

I just don’t see any path back. At least tonight. I was not looking forward to this speech. And it was bad. We seem determined to continue to unravel this amazing country. Gonna go listen to some live blues where no one cares about race. Thankfully there is a 2 drink minimum.. — PolitiTweet.org

This is **not** about Progressives, Trump Supporters or Mainstream Folks in media/politics. There are plenty of progressives opposed to Woke. Plenty of Trump supporters who fear the danger in MAGA, and plenty of people in mainstream News and Politics in DC livid with the Swamp. — PolitiTweet.org

ERRATA. *Triple. If you follow me you know about me symbols and dyslexia. If you don't there is a lot of that in my threads. These are obviously just my personal views alone and off the cuff as this just happened. Subject to change as I get a chancd to go over what I heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

This has been off the cuff. So, thanks for bearing with me. End — PolitiTweet.org

There is a solution. It must either come from less corruop outsiders than TRUMP or it must come from an extraordinary individual insider willing to give up wealth, safety, status and security. A surprise like Eisenhower's Chamberlin's final addresses. And that was not Joe Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein

My prediction however is that this is going to be viewed as the hypocritical blue portion of the Swamp trying to win a coming election with zero understanding of just how corrupt and dangerous all three groups are. So to sum up this is what I think. And it isn't hopeful. — PolitiTweet.org
