      the argument for (THOUGHTFUL) overreaction is just preparing for tail risks that had seemed previously very unlikely, and also by (THOUGHTFULLY) overreacting reducing the likelihood of those tail risks im thinking i maybe 30% believe in this incidentally

      i also have no faith that any overreaction will be competent so this is kind of dead letter

      here @robertwrighter suggests breaking up large tech companies because "more is better" and they're less able to enforce fiat like eg twitter did which strikes me as funny and incorrect because we just saw Every tech company across the market move in tandem

      how do censorship regimes typically get rolled back over time? DO they get rolled back? i guess we had a lot of de facto censorship in the mid 20C, and even more during war time maybe this is still a golden era of free speech in that sense hmmmm

          I mean i remember when "freedom fries" were a thing, and when the Dixie Chics got canceled.. that didn't last that long. I think this one won't last long either. That said, market actions have market consequences...i think some people are just now learning that.

          Censorship is only possible when someone is controlling information... In the past was the state, now is the big tech companies... Somehow the future will have someone else... We are in the very begging of a revolution I supposed... #blockchain

          That's worse as far as societal cohesion is concerned. The siloing of news also means that the stories are flabby and omit mitigating factors that don't fit the factional narrative. We're not aware of our excesses and can't self-police.

          You might be interested in Robert Darnton's "Censors at Work" -- he talks about how when East Germany liberalized, censorship was tacitly abolished -- but officially, of course, there was never any censorship in the GDR! So...

          I think that an entire system is being constructed to decentralize everything, including social media, now is time for pump it up... #blockchain $theta $sol $dot Not a crypto lunatic, but think that we are in the .dot.com 2.0... Also little drunk on Wednesday early morning....
