Da in den letzten Tagen einige Mediziner:innen das Ende der Maskenpflicht in Medizinischen Einrichtungen begrüßten, obwohl sie vormals angeblich #Teamvorsicht und #TeamWissenschaft waren, habe ich mich entschieden einen kurzen 🧵 zu schreiben.

Vulnerable um die es ja eigentlich geht kommen in dieser Debatte faktisch nicht zu Wort.
Im Kontext mit anderen marginalisierten Gruppen ist das in dieser Bubble regelmäßig ein Skandal.
Rassismus bspw.
Aber Behindies und Kranke mitreden lassen?
Wo kommen wir da hin?

Auch beim Thema Sexismus wäre so ein paternalistisches Einordnen/Bewerten der Situation, über den Kopf der Betroffenen hinweg, ein Skandal in dieser und anderen bubbles.

Die 'absolute Freiheit' des entfesselten Marktes wurde auch in einer Diktatur ausprobiert: #Chile
1000e wurden gefoltert. Ende der #Diktatur lebten 500k in Armut, die Reichen waren 83% reicher.
Sie gaben sich selbst 8x den #Nobelpreis.

"Today, when the left’s political timidity and #authoritarianism has stripped it of all credibility as a democratic political force, it is more significant that the right also finds it very difficult to resist the lure of #vulnerability claims."

"The old imperial myth of Britain standing up to foreign tyrants is once again being wheeled out in respect of Ukraine, but the context has changed. The critical point ... is that the fear-mongering style of politics developed during the Cold War...is all conservatives have left"
"All the old commitments, once proclaimed by conservatives, to traditional virtues, such as faith, family, sacrifice, duty, deference to hierarchy, have decayed in practice into a fear-driven politics in which liberals, socialists and foreigners are constructed as threats ..."

The two 'Shadow Brokers' who get fleeting mentions over the last 15 years as the cast of foreign ownership in English football has become increasingly... 'cosmopolitan' are;
*Chris Samuelson* & *Andrew Obolensky*
Who are they?
What do they do??
Why should we care???

Well, they've appeared in a few books I've read over the years, so I did some searches to try and understand more & connect the dots.
In a nutshell, they seem to be;
*FORMATION AGENTS*
*INNOVATIVE FINANCE PROFESIONALS*
*NETWORKERS/CONNECTORS*

I find it interesting that many who study F.A. Hayek, like to point out that he “favored universal healthcare.”

1) S'agissant des aspects descriptifs, remarquable effort de documentation, de compréhension et de pédagogie technique sur les origines et le fonctionnement de #Bitcoin, des #blockchains et des #cryptomonnaies. Résultat assez impressionnant de précision et d'objectivité
Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
