Transgenderism is an uncontrolled society-scaled experiment in conformity and obedience: a test of how far you can make people parrot absurdities, inflict cruelties, collude with unrealities, and ostracize and punish people for things they do not themselves believe.

It is a test of whether the moral self-abasements and routine betrayals that occurred in the Soviet Bloc with its secret police and political prisons and armies of informants could be replicated in liberal, democratic, and pluralistic societies that lacked this formal apparatus of repression: whether minor rewards and punishments could force people to punish people for stating the most self-evident of all truths and inspire them to cheer on the chemical castration and dismemberment of their own children. It is a test of whether civil liberties organization could be twisted into instruments of state repression and human rights groups instruments of defamation and violence against women.

It is a test that most of the Western world is failing.

@ryancarson What have UK politicians done that is actually in the best interest of their citizens? Why should this be any different?

Bill Gates reveals the cash rule Microsoft learned after one customer stopped paying:

"We had a dispute with our customer. They weren't paying us."

"I'm gonna have enough money in the bank to pay everyone's salary for a year, even if nobody pays me anything."

"So I was very conservative financially."

The one-year payroll buffer was not fear. It was operating leverage: enough runway to outlast bad customers, slow payments, and bigger competitors with more capital.

Cash buys judgment.

When I first started at X, this is one of the things I did a deep dive on because I felt it was critical to the integrity of the experienced.

I tasked our Threat Disruption team to investigate a number of trends that seemed artificial.

The findings:

We could not find meaningful examples of foreign interference in US policy discussions, except people gaming rev share in developing countries. This is what motivated the release of the Country of Origin feature and significant changes to the rev share algorithm.

The most deranged & divisive replies generally were from residential IPs in the United States—with no signs of using a VPN.

Ultimately, X is a reflection of the internet. And that means you will see the full spectrum of human thought. And sometimes the most outrageous takes will catch fire.

Having said all of this, there can still be cases of narratives being boosted but the origin of the initial post is almost always domestic and we have hardened our systems in the last 3 months to prevent this.

@bryan_johnson https://t.co/WoscsuUEzo You need to study the life and teachings of Jesus.
