People assume my desire to avoid slipping into anarchy, civil strife & madness is about turning the other cheek.
That it’s about extending the benefit of the doubt/tolerance to those who’d recruit our own kids to kill us.
You aren’t listening. And I can’t help that.

Decent people give others the benefit of the doubt. At first we assume that a stranger is telling the truth. But the stranger becomes known, over time, on the evidence of their actions. At some point it becomes clear that such others no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt - a decent person must assume that the other is probably acting in bad faith. To continue giving the benefit of the doubt to others beyond that point is to willingly acquiesce to being a doormat. When a person publicly exhibits, through their own carefully curated appearance, that they hold a set of beliefs at odds with seeking truth, we should heed that warning.

@NavalismHQ @naval Socrates, right? As dictated to his PA between meetings.

...also, @elonmusk and @peterthiel what's stopping you from throwing cash at these ambitions? Bust up that log jam and let @ericweinstein lead the charge!

Quantum physics is so amazing, so cool, so fundamentally game-changing, you might be forgiven for thinking we were done. Believe @ericweinstein when he tells you we must keep going.
QP has changed every aspect of my philosophy. My primary concerns orbit relational dynamics, whether that be within the self and psyche, between people, or between two or more social bodies.
QP, combined with the hemisphere hypothesis and the concomitant nature and function of attention, I believe is fundamental to achieving breakthroughs in human relational thriving, which ultimately will lead to breakthroughs in scientific innovation.
Keep going!

@jgreenhall just finished your wonderful conversation with John and Jordan on DW. Put many of my own thoughts in context. I am starting to suspect self-appointed shamans are by definition not shamans. This might require a divinatory nomination process.

@jgreenhall Jung was talking about this in the early 20th century. Individuate or suffer, n'est ce pas?

This talk is astoundingly good. I remember about half way through at the summit looking around and seeing the entire audience locked in.

@ChrisWillx @robkhenderson Women's memories across the board are on average better. In this particular category the data screams biological necessity.

Fuck Uber. I'm taking the bus. Santa Barbara has too many nice cars. That's the extent of my punk attitude right now.

@ericweinstein Must be simultaneously vindicating and dreadfully insulting

This is so funny.
1984: “String theory *must* get *all* the resources because Quantum Field Theory *cannot* ever do what String Theory can. That’s just a cold fact.”
[40 years later….]
2024: “We aren’t a mass delusion in the form of an obviously failed scientific research project that spun out of control in full view of the world if we are equivalent to what we said would never work. That’s it! String Theory 4evah.”
This is getting ridiculous beyond the ridiculous ridiculousness of previous ridiculousnesses. After four decades of this, there just aren’t good words. I’m sorry.

We now have powerful evidence that—shockingly—string theory and quantum field theory are actually different languages for expressing one and the same physics. Brian Greene (@bgreene) revisits The Elegant Universe, 25 years later. @wwnorton @JannaLevin pioneerworks.org/broadcast/bria…

@elonmusk I believe the deterrent to misinformation is called education.

@Kanthan2030 @naval Truth is continually revealed. Therein lies the necessity of dialogos.

I don’t understand what we are doing in Ukraine. And I don’t think you do either.

@jgreenhall Lineup has some compelling voices but the marketing is obfuscating the message somewhat.
