@elonmusk, we are not brains in vats. The sooner we remember this, and restructure our lives and institutions in accordance with the truth that we are psychosomatic unities, the sooner we can repair (or prevent) the dehumanizing damages wrought by tech addiction.Show this threadThanks.

Thus far, the assassination of Soleimani & broader campaign against PMF seems much closer to Codevilla's post-9/11 recommendation—swift, retributive punishment of the enemy's ruling class to restore honor/fear and deter further attacks—than the War on Terror as waged since 2001.https://twitter.com/ClaremontInst/status/1213215978735181824 …

Insofar as the American people have spoken on this topic—which they have only fitfully because our leaders have masterfully avoided political deliberation about foreign policy for decades—they have consistently said: “Why should we ‘stay in the Middle East,’ whatever that means?”pic.twitter.com/Z4U7ABayYq

The last traces of the Marie Kondo method of organizing our babies’ clothes have nearly been effaced. My wife folded everything by the Konmari method, but I have done most of the laundry ever since. Education relative to the regime is a necessary condition for its perpetuation.
