@bmiloy This is precisely the problem I am trying to solve in Principia. Is it meddling if I stop my neighbor from beating his wife? Or if a state tries to stop slavery in another? Meddling is unethical but definitions can be fuzzy. — PolitiTweet.org

No. The mob drove Simon away from social media. But Mobs are easy to use for your advantage & entertainment. They are like animals: they detect fear. Be an animal and detect fear. BTW, a simple reminder: @Snowden is a fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

Blind wine tasting in NY: was asked to guess the country of origin. "Tastes Lebanese". Confidence? "99%". What guess did I write? California. Why? There are >1000 time more Cal than Leb wines in NY. Likewise, incompetence is more frequent than evil, so first assume stupidity. — PolitiTweet.org
