when empirical truth and social truth disagree it is VERY VERY hard to reconcile them and violent inquisition results, social truth wins

the whisper-network is pragmatic but depressing and defeatist if that's all we've got. at least they only dox you now instead of burn you.

I feel like the whole piece can be construed as attacking "implicit discursive rules for particular spaces" as being fascist.

Speaking in the public sphere is _always_ a risky endeavor, totalitarian state or not. Unfortunately social media makes more spheres public.

I prefer a reframe: whisper-network was _the default state of discourse_ prior to the Internet. Had to make effort to reach the public.

This isn't an inherent feature of the internet, though. Social media offers privacy settings. On some level we must want to speak publicly.

A weird thought, that we intentionally submit our tweets to the public. Twitter UX encourages this, but maybe we're all demagogues at heart.

I'm very self-conscious of using a candid account here. It means there are a lot of topics that I'm unwilling to share my thoughts about.

I made this account explicitly to keep some of my thoughts away from IRL friends who operate with different epistemic principles.
