Agree on not trusting media. Agree on meritocratic and promote individual freedoms. But abandon climate and "drill baby drill? Be MAGA and abandon NATO and American leadership and moral authority? I was a socially liberal registered fiscal Republican till climate made me switch to Independent. Fist used "techno optimist" to describe myself on Twitter but have to add now "with care and caring" to bring along people left behind by the tech driven acceleration and growth we love.

Hard for me to support someone with no values, lies, cheats, rapes, demeans women, hates immigrants like me. He may cut my taxes or reduce some regulation but that is no reason to accept depravity in his personal values. Do you want President who will set back climate by a decade in his first year? Do you want his example for your kids as values?

The backstory of the recent string of coups in Africa is Russian disinformation. This never-told spy vs. spy tale- w/wild deets like getting people to play avatars in the real world - reveals how it happens. Been working on this for two years!

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.) It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public. 🧵
