Need to add to my foreword to @holland_tom's Dominion: You don't have to believe in God to believe in God. "Evasive on the “personal question” as to whether, or in what way, he believed in God, he was certainly an observant Jew." https://t.co/Yy9rd1hLFf — PolitiTweet.org

FACT CHECKING Given @saifedean's morals, calling him a fraud is most certainly a compliment. I described the Lebanese banking system a Ponzi scheme in Nov 2019 & suggested a precise orderly Madoff-style exit program. [BTW, will be back w/@AlbertKostanian] https://t.co/9pCU7oIHUH — PolitiTweet.org

I just asked. In Oslo many have no problem commuting in the winter. "Not cold, just bad clothing", they say. https://t.co/wXn71WwOya — PolitiTweet.org

@nntaleb @WSJ Curious how snow climates can sustain bike traffic year around?🤔
Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb
I prefer a regular bike, but this is really making a change. Bike infrastructure is much cheaper than train networks. "Why are so many people ditching their SUVs, pickup trucks and sedans for e-bikes?" https://t.co/Y4RYCfX20U via @WSJ — PolitiTweet.org

3) I don't know the ratio men/women in the riots but so far 4 demonstrators were shot dead: the 4 were men. It is hard, very hard for a conservative male soldier to shoot an unarmed woman. — PolitiTweet.org

Women revolutions are harder to repress, and not just in Iran. Remember that they represent 50% of the population and are more educated, more sophisticated, more cohesive, yet more repressed than men. — PolitiTweet.org

My coauthor Espen Haug @eghaug has looked 34 y.o. for the past 24 years. He claims that it's from the Oslo water and wild salmon but I think the evidence is still quite weak without additional data. https://t.co/OwGd6ZXcJN — PolitiTweet.org
