I love the way this thread reframes 'not aggressively censoring wrongthink' as "misinformation promoting". There are many awful blooches; this is one of them. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/972591994659745792 …

to invoke something related to another famous razor, the idea that *more* prescriptive constraints is the solution (rather than less), when dealing with a complex adaptive system, is her hubris. same hubris as all authoritarians. that's actually why i can't stand authoritarians

like yes yes individual liberty is the foundation of morality but my ethics isn't built on a libertarian i-want-to-be-free reflex, it's built on chaos theory and negentropy and order-via-fiat is just pure insanity, like trying to make a hippo fly by commanding it to do so

or i guess my usual trope example is commanding water run uphill. no you fucks, if you want X result *you have to reshape the landscape*, and with emergence (guess that's... erosion and turbulent flow in this metaphor?) in mind
-
anyway these people scare me bc it's not just that they're against "freedom" it's that they don't make sense and you can't entirely predict someone who thinks nonsensically
