Wtf does disinformation even mean at this point? They’ll say the same shit over and over to excuse any responsibility.

A comprehensive plan has never existed and we now understand how woefully incompetent our government actually is. An empire in decline.

[Santino @satinolives]

Independent journalists are the only source of uncorrupted information today.

Lend trust to those that act in good faith, recognize inevitable bias, and read them with healthy skepticism.

'270 doctors’ called out Joe Rogan, but the authors of the letter and the vast majority of its signatories are not medical doctors https://t.co/Xa5BLTguxk

Yes, your expense filters into someone else’s income, ad infinitum.

And if you’re an owner in a corporation, the corporation is taxed before you receive income, which is also taxed.

And then the gov prints money and gives it to themself. Pretty wild i’n’t it.

Tangentially related:

The most societally privileged attributes that no one discusses: physical attractiveness, height, mental capacity. Without a doubt.

@wheatpond Same reason people aren’t impressed by rich people born wealthy.

Brains are computers and may have differnt clock rates or memory capacities, but a mind is not a brain. A mind is the web of interconnected ideas from years of knowledge creation. It’s built from curiosity and work

Legacy media corporations are THE threat to not only public health but the overall well-being of this country.

Reject legacy media in it’s entirety and allow people like Joe Rogan to continue to present information in good faith to the public. Someone needs to.

[New York Post @nypost]

Joe Rogan a 'menace to public health,' say 270 doctors and experts https://t.co/2Cq0bTDwQQ

“Racism is a huge issue in this country. You know what might help? More racism.”

[Aaron Sibarium @aaronsibarium]

BREAKING: One of the largest hospital systems in the United States gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined in its allocation scheme for COVID treatments, only to reverse the policy after threats of legal action. 🧵

If the government can use medical information to bar access from commercial places, what else can they do?

The authoritarian overreach is astounding.

[Santino @satinolives]

Went out last night and showed my vaccine card and ID to get into a restaurant and a bar.

Feels surreal showing medical documents to get into public places.

My question is: what is the endgame? Every single person in the US will get covid. What does this performative BS get us?

[Santino @satinolives]

@justinamash @balajis Decentralized finance will happen with or without the US.

Western bureaucrats and legacy financial institutions have the most to lose, individuals and the rest of the civilized world have the most to gain.

The transition will be treacherous, but it will happen.

We create knowledge through good explanations.

We create good explanation through conjecture and refutation.

Good explanation = explanation that is testable and hard to vary.

[Santino @satinolives]

All progress..whether political, economic, technological, moral… comes from the creation of knowledge and discovery of truth.

^ I believe this is one of the central ideas that David Deutsch expresses in The Beginning of Infinity.

Maybe the most powerful idea I’ve ever heard.

[Santino @satinolives]

Once you latch onto this sense of purpose, you’ll do anything to retain it.

Society and posterity bears the ultimate cost of this behavior as we stray further from truth to preserve identities.

[Santino @satinolives]

People grab onto ideology and tribalism to inject meaning into their lives.

“Feel like life is meaningless? Here, join my tribe, we fight evil and stand up for justice.”

Now you have moral superiority, belonging and status with your in-group.

The real pandemic of today is one of conformity and lack of meaning.

@naval Anyone who thinks COVID will ever be eradicated is out of touch with reality

@robbysoave Was it also sexism that caused a charismatic female to defraud male investors for over half of a billion dollars?

[Santino @satinolives]

Any discussion of politics without mention of either incentives or principles is total nonsense.

[Santino @satinolives]

Religion is as popular as ever today, the Information Age just made the market more competitive.
