This said, I don't think that blocking someone on TWTR is an impediment to free speech (unless it's by the owner). And I do not think that being dumped by Apple is a free speech problem; they are exercizing their OWN rights to freedom. They are driven by the minority rule. — PolitiTweet.org

I cannot comment on "fee speech with respect to Twitter" to Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, since he blocked me on Twitter*. *In not very flattering circumstances for a "visionary": he did not believe, in March 2020, that Covid was a serious thing. — PolitiTweet.org

"Tail Risk of Contagious Diseases" (2020, Nature Physics) is with @DrCirillo. It basically shows why one should NEVER predict local properties of pandemics. Since Xi discussed "black swans" all the fat tails papers have been studied in China, plus >1M books sold. https://t.co/6jgtXtQrYA — PolitiTweet.org

2) This reminds me of a novel by Elias Canetti: an erudite scholar lives in a library, in emotional communion with his 20K books. Then he marries his maid who finds his books superfluous... I used to go postal at pple who, seeing me holding a book wd ask if it was "useful". — PolitiTweet.org

(2, cont) In case 2, ask yourself whether you also produce criticism of other persons who share these traits. Example: The press built up Trump via Type 2 criticism. Your criticism is only valid if you act as a judge, not an advocate. — PolitiTweet.org
Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb
Two types of criticism: 1 (good faith) You don't like someone's specific arguments or behavior, hence produce directed criticism related to the initial trigger. 2 (bad faith) You dislike someone, so keep looking at stuff to criticize *unrelated* to the original reason. — PolitiTweet.org

@GraecoSyrian Actually, the Shalhoub family is split between Douma (Batroun), Zahle, and Damascus. Like the Rothchilds, they were traders connecting merchandise between the three. But the origin is Douma. — PolitiTweet.org

Disclaimer: Headlines are misquoting me on $COIN Coinbase. I said nothing abt their holdings & risks of blowup, no analogy to FTC. My point is that they are cash-flow negative, w/a grisly future (even if crypto come back) & OWNERS have been getting out. The company is worthless. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem of naming something mundane (a commercial street, hedge fund, or insurance company) after a glorified name (a saint, Greek god, etc.) is that, after a while, as by a steady corrosion, the glorified turns into the mundane. — PolitiTweet.org
