David Graeber @davidwengrow are good in dumping on Yuval Harari who represents Flaubert's "Dictionary of Received Ideas": exactly the best representative of the learned philistine. https://t.co/grJHbycr4p — PolitiTweet.org

6) These idiots from the #Lebanese "civil society" cannot grasp that we must avoid a revolution. They practically ALL end poorly (BTW the American Rev. was a separatist movement, not a revolution). Work on gradual evolution. Pick the least bad PM. https://t.co/kEAPxFC5Pc — PolitiTweet.org

@dmarquesv @paulg Fuck, no. There is no misattribution science -> practice but there is practice ->science. My point is misattribution. Chronic "lecturing birds how to fly" in one direction not another. — PolitiTweet.org

The IQ/Job performance relationship is 1) circular (i.e., good exam taking => good college => good job), 2) nonlinear: relationship driven by low IQ. But worst, @charlesmurray is to a scholar (& a gentleman) what a Soviet cafeteria is to Il Gattopardo. https://t.co/sR5GJEHz60 — PolitiTweet.org

@paulg With all due respects, you fail to get the difference between "know how" and "know what". Y ..."verging on incoherence". You need some training. — PolitiTweet.org

100% wrong. Engineering != science. As explained in #Antifragile, our world is built by engineers, tinkerers, & practitioners, often uneducated, misclaimed by universities. Science never claims ANYTHING about these matters. Science=research procedure not a risk control method. — PolitiTweet.org

22 years after #FooledbyRandomness, journalists feel obligated to link market moves to *some* event. Gives the illusion of understanding markets. The Amazon information is... 1 WEEK OLD. The Jump in #BTC was last night. https://t.co/QsBa68p7uq — PolitiTweet.org

Rhetorical divertors: + How much did they pay you? + Remind me, where did you get your MD from? + Why do you hate America [or France, or]? Never debate idiots using intellectual rectitude. Learn from the bosses: the Jesuits mastered casuistry & all manner of persuasive tricks. — PolitiTweet.org
