Tired: marketplace of ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen!

Wired: marketplace of observations. Actionable!

Aspired: marketplace of inferences. Valuable and frustrates the evil people :-) #dmutc

@TheClassicalCon Regulate those in your community and you won't get any pushback.

The way you initially poasted in previous tweets implied a government-level regulation. Would be disastrous to hand over even more cultural power to the gov. That's why the progressives pushed it just recently.

@TheClassicalCon First you (USA, UK & RU) told Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons - now you are telling them to give up some of its land.

Never give up weapons. And when somebody tells "only the community, not individuals" - yeah, he's coming for your weapons.

Lots of self-proclaimed "realists" are arguing these days that appeasing Putin by giving him Donbas will end his invasion. But it should be noted that scholars from the realist tradition have also argued the exact opposite. 1/ THREAD.

"The West is doomed" maybe, perhaps.
"Look up to the RU & CN they got it better" - lol no, they are doing significantly worse by all relevant metrics.

Btw, much of the rot in the West has been *pushed* here by the (now ex-)communist countries.

Behold 25.000 SHP, in NS Savannah. You can see the main core pressure vessel, and the pressurizer to the right

Excellent thread that clarifies and ties together so many things.

Highly recommend 👍 - also am bookmarking it for future reference.

Reading through "Columbine", and one of the things that stands out the most to me is how much the cops actively made the situation and the aftermath WORSE.

A (long-ish) thread 🧵:

[Bizjets of War @bizjetsofwar]

#China (🇨🇳) has reportedly closed their airspace for Airbus and Boeing aircraft of Russian airlines.

Russian airlines could not provide confirmation that the imported aircraft in their fleet were deregistered abroad.

[Sentinel-Safeguard @LIM49Spartan]

@TrentTelenko The big thing slowing Russian tank production besides thermal imager chips is...machine tools.

Specifically, the large oversized tools needed to bore out turret rings; and drill out the hull for torsion bar mount points, etc.

[mark doppelgänger 🛰 @DoppelMark]

@LIM49Spartan @TrentTelenko They also blundered badly by standardizing on a X layout engine. Pretty hard to engineer, especially as the company went bankrupt.

Before I retired from DCMA, the Federal Protective Service sent briefers to our office on how the police roll in a mass shooting situation like Uvalde.

The first priority is to put police officers on top of the shooter immediately to keep the shooter busy with lawmen & not

One lesson western politicians will never learn: past a certain point all you create are diminishing or negative returns.

You can guide or control behaviour to a large extent, but many problems emerge from political incentives to *eradicate* a behaviour.

Public schools are bully factories.

School choice would help, but Teachers Unions prevent it.

You can trace 80% of society's problems to Teachers Unions and the lack of critical thinking skills in youth.
