Had dialogue on the current challenges facing our society with Dr. David Silbersweig, Glen Weyl, Nguyen Anh Tuan, and Ramu Damodaran at Harvard University.
Please, when you reach out to someone who you think is a “public figure”, remember first that they’re human beings too.
You won’t believe that even with the announcements I’ve made this week about welcoming a child, there’s been no day this week that has passed, without someone reaching out to ask for my time or money.
Some even start their messages acknowledging the news I shared.
Why are we so self-centered and inconsiderate?
If your message is anything but informative, please don’t message me in this time. Thanks.

Most social media algorithms are designed to drive division and profit—”enragement equals engagement.” But Taiwan’s cyber ambassador @audreyt says that bringing people together can actually be profitable, too.
“People are addicted to the outrage because again it's easier to hack our taste buds … than to cook something really healthy,” says Taiwan’s cyber ambassador, Audrey Tang. “On the other hand, people do enjoy finding that uncommon ground. The thrill of finding an uncommon ground is actually comparable or even higher.”
What is "plurality," and how could it be the key to AI co-alignment?
Join host @joetforhire for a salon on the groundbreaking work of Audrey Tang, exploring her new vision for collaborative technology and a healthier democracy centered on "civic care."

Honoré d’avoir pris part, en septembre dernier, sur invitation du pape Léon XIV, à la Conférence mondiale sur la fraternité humaine au Vatican, aux côtés de 100 journalistes venus du monde entier et de plusieurs Prix Nobel de la paix dont Maria Ressa, Denis Mukwege, Tawakkol Karman et Nadia Mourad. Dans un monde fracturé, le pape a lancé un appel clair : "Non à la guerre, oui à la paix et à la fraternité. Un message puissant pour refuser l’indifférence, bâtir des ponts malgré nos différences, et faire de la fraternité une force d’avenir. Rendez-vous bientôt en #Algérie. @vaticannews_fr@VaticanNews

Glen did a great job of making arguments backed up by empirical evidence.
Curtis tried to do the same, but imo his examples were more distant and so less effective. There's big differences between the peacetime political, wartime political and corporate settings that make examples from one scenario difficult to translate to the others (namely, the type of goal of the entity and the selection function that produces them). A little too close to "concentration is efficient, it's why bees huddle together in nests and why we have cities and yimbyism, therefore it's contradictory to oppose concentration camps as a tool of government"
Glen did a good job of pointing out "you want X? Well let me tell you about actually-existing X in our current society". The critique that these examples don't count because they are a byproduct of our democratic status quo strikes me as weak; all political systems everywhere are born in a pool of inconvenient slop, your thing has to be robust to that.
Curtis was at his strongest when critiquing the status quo. The argument that NYT depends on gov info leaks which can be viewed as a (decisive) unfair subsidy was novel, at least to me, and it's compelling. Democratic politics does need to have a more honest account of the role of elites; "they're all a bug in the system" is not it, and "they're there and if you don't trust them you're a bad conspiracy theorist and a danger to public health" is also not it.
Glen's closing speech was amazing, though I think to a skeptic "I agree the US isn't a democracy, but I think we should actually become one" would not be convincing without specific compelling ideas for how that would happen. I would love to see Glen continue to flesh that out in more detail, perhaps more object-level than Plurality (eg. "how would my system decide how to solve urban crime and execute on the solution?")
The recording of my debate with @curtis_yarvin@OpentoDebateOrg is now available: https://t.co/LucLnu2npN. I didn't have time to deliver my final line, so I will put it here, to be read at the end of the video, so on next post in thread.
