My greatest fear is to have someone who just as Soros who got Popper's Open Society exactly backwards & funded an "Open Society Inst." for a Platonic bureaucrat-led
#skininthegame-free monoculture, starts an *Incerto Institute* promoting Kantian scale-free Universalism.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Karl Popper, in his Open Society, describes to a "T" the crowd of unelected patronizing "experts" who want to run the lives of people and call those who oppose them "populists". Beautiful Plato vs Socrates passage.pic.twitter.com/gaTfAnSvZA

Which is the reason I hate interviews; they try to force you to reduce a book to a fortune cookie-compatible expression.https://twitter.com/daviduvaydov/status/1042463961826947075 …

People in Lebanon used to rely on timber for heating/cooking (& tax payment to the Ottomans). Fossil fuel allowed the greening across places. It is bad (side effects), but one should NEVER represent a partial picture like this shoddy sensationalist @FranckGenauseau

MISREPRESENTATION of STATISTICAL PICTURE Journos @FranckGenauzeauare clueless & cherrypicking. Lebanon is currently greening, >150,000 additional Cedar trees at higher level plus rising treeline.

1rst stage when I read Hayek. 2nd stage when I read "Nudge" by
@CassSunstein &@R_thaler & saw it was pseudoscience in industrial scale & something had to be done about the class of people I later coined "IYIS" (Intellectuals Yet Idiots). 3rd stage w/the Syrian warhttps://twitter.com/LPNational/status/1042145030406844416 …Show this threadThanks.

Actually
@nntaleb spells it out in Ch. 17 of Antifragile "The minute I was bored with a book or subject I moved to another one [...] The trick is to be bored with a specific book, rather than the act of reading. Avoidance of boredom is the only worthy mode of action."Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

The division in politics can be summarized as between + Embedded, complexity-minded, multiscale/fractal localists (politics as an ecology/complex adaptive system) + Abstract one-dimensional universalists & monoculturalists (politics as a top-down engineering project)
