First principles thinker. My questions are not rhetorical. I'm in search of first principles. I'm building out my models. I'm not your enemy.

    The human conception, instinct and desire for Status is destructive. Using Status as a proxy for epistemology, ability, correctness, leadership, etc. subverts effective governance from politics to business to education. Humans keep optimizing for the entirely wrong variables.

    "what's truly funny is the thing i said in the video was exactly what they did. i said if you just take the worst aspects of someone, take out everything else, magnify it, you can paint them out to be a real piece of shit" perfect response from Joe Rogan

    Is this an autistic thing? I feel like a while ago I hit my lifetime cap on expressing heartfelt thanks for small to medium sized things with believable mannerisms. I can feel myself calculating the right amount of inflection, etc and I feel it come off wrong and laugh to myself.

    The real loser tonight is Richard Nixon. Dude should've stuck to his guns, apparently.

    Incentives only rarely care about Justice. Mostly they absolutely don't. Incentives rule the world, hidden and visible. Straightforward and weird. Comprehensible and Lovecraftian horror. The drive to Justice can be all of those, yet is only one thread in the Incentive tapestry.

    I love Bernie but I feel like some of his ideas are outdated. As I recall, he used to support the idea of UBI. I wonder who has been whispering in his ear.

    (THREAD) This thread catalogs all key content in the 83-minute video Fruman secretly made—and Parnas transmitted to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence—of an intimate April 2018 dinner at a Trump hotel in which Trump discusses Ukraine. I hope you'll RETWEET this.

    Nearly four years ago we discovered an illegal $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation to support Pam Bondi while her office was reportedly investigating Trump U. She never took action against Trump U. Now she's defending Trump at his impeachment trial.

    When I hear: “Andrew Yang should serve in a lower office before running for president.” What I think: “He’s not corrupted. We need to corrupt him a bit first.”

    Castor's plan is apparently to recite all the damning evidence against the president but to smirk and make the jerkoff motion as he does.

    People keep using words that imply they support Yang, then put the wrong name in his place. Warren doesn't "energize our base, younger voters, and the 100 million who didn’t vote in 2016." That's , my dude.

    That thing where a dog brings you a dead bird it found and proudly drops it at your feet, but it's hundreds of people doing it on here and the gross bird is whatever Hillary Clinton recently said about politics.

    I personally know and am close with at least 3 people who worked for and were abused by Senator Klobuchar. Her abusive treatment of her staff is disqualifying and I’m really upset the NYT editorial board chose to overlook it.

    So to be clear: what the Senate will be voting on is whether or not the President can be a criminal and a dictator. We're going to watch Senate Republicans vote to no longer be a co-equal branch of government, but rather a bunch of money launderers for a mob boss.

    Sully it with a victim narrative, from a position of already-attained-power, and you'll lose half your audience. If you've put in the work, and attained lofty goals, own it, and never paint yourself as a victim again. You are now the hand lifting those below you. 15/15

    And I'm saying this with compassion, as someone who came from poverty, with an identity which took decades to shake off. Status is a shared delusion that starts with the person aspiring to high status. Believe it, and others will too. But it is fragile. 14/?

    As we enter an age where equality becomes more commonplace, and women and minorities attain power, they'll have to learn to let go of the underdog identity, and wield their newfound power without trying to score extra points for how much harder it was for them to get there. 13/?

    At some point, you're not the underdog anymore, and you own up to your shortcomings when they are pointed out to you, and work to overcome them. You self-reflect. You show the world how to be powerful through self-disclosure, humor and vulnerability. 12/?

    My point is that when members of underdog groups attain power, they do their group a disservice when they fail to evolve into powerful people. At some point, you have to stop dismissing criticisms of you as sexist, racist or ableist. 11/?
