@pnw_pi You don’t move in some of my circles then. People mumble “Cuban missile crisis.” and that usually ends the discussion as everyone nods knowingly. Doesn’t even require verbs. — PolitiTweet.org

@MasterMuskkk @bgreene @Columbia @TOEwithCurt @IAI_TV Brian is one of our best public speakers as well. I’ve seen him improvise on his feet in tough situations and I am blown away by how he manages to be accurate, accessible and funny in real time scientific matters. A lightning-fast mind working simultaneously on multiple levels. — PolitiTweet.org

At 1:32:50, Curt Jaimangul asks Brian Greene about the same issue. I respect Brian a great deal and always found him collegial. I’d be happy to have the state and future of Quantum Gravity discussed at length in open forum if people were interested. https://t.co/mV9ubsVu0Y — PolitiTweet.org

I think what was new to @IAI_TV was someone who was not against string theory as a framework, but adamant that String culture and Quantum Gravity had been catastrophically enervating for 40-70 years. A part of the original interchange was excerpted here: https://t.co/LQsjxcAged — PolitiTweet.org

The IAI asked me to clarify some arguments in an interchange over theoretical physics I had earlier with String Theorist @bgreene of @Columbia, just as Brian was asked about the same discussion on @TOEwithCurt. The @IAI_TV write up is here. Check it out! https://t.co/yYc8TuZRwi — PolitiTweet.org

And just for clarity. I don’t think this UFO has to do with aliens. I’d guess we already know what it is and don’t want to say. But that is just a guess. Pure speculation. — PolitiTweet.org

We are losing the best we have left. But it’s not lost yet. Imagine this @UChicago scientist as head of NIH. We would never have had the COVID disaster. At CDC or NIAID she would have saved us from the moronic public health response. Sorry, but all is not lost my friend. Yet. https://t.co/A7F5V3gf8O — PolitiTweet.org

Why don’t we run an experiment and exempt our most resistant of all great universities, @UChicago, from these pressures? @elonmusk bought Twitter for a fortune. We need 1 real Newspaper. 1 university. 1 social media platform. Start with UofC. They are not too far gone. Yet. — PolitiTweet.org

Think of it this way. We told the world’s smartest people they were privileged welfare queens in lab coats & made them waste their time begging for grants, stabbing each other in the back. So they adapted. We can have reliable science back as soon as we open our eyes to this. 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

If they were wealthy, as they would be in any sane society, they would tell you what they thought of Fauci and Collins and Daszak. But they are *precarious*. So they parroted those people instead. Hence their new cranky positions on reproductive mutilation. WIV. Vaccines. Etc. — PolitiTweet.org

You see scientists create what economists call a MARKET FAILURE in the form of a PUBLIC GOOD. That is the VALUE our scientists create isn’t captured in the PRICE they can command even in a free market. Then we broke our contract to take care of them by sharing downstream wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Because you stopped them from participating in the prosperity they created for everyone else downstream of science. To put it bluntly they are echoing the words of those whose hands now encircle their throats. That’s why you got sick with Covid. Why you aren’t getting the truth. — PolitiTweet.org
