1/So, like many people, I criticized antifa for beating up right-wing provocateur Andy Ngo. Vigilante assaults are unacceptable...

BUT, it's important to keep this incident in perspective. It is NOT a manifestation of rampant leftist violence in America.

2/It is RIGHTIST gangs and terrorists, not leftist ones, who represent the biggest political-extremist threat to safety, security, and public order in America today.

3/The mail-bomber who sent bombs to prominent Democrats and Trump critics was a rightist extremist, not a leftist one.

1/Today's @bopinion post is about something weird going on in the corporate world.

Since the turn of the century, companies have been making enormous, unprecedented profits. Why??

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/Remember the 80s and 90s, when Reagan and Clinton and deregulation and neoliberalism and low taxes ruled America?

Well, corporate profits were less than 5% of the economy back then.

Today they're 10% or more.
3/And the stock market has gone up by even more than profits!

(This could represent expectations of even more profit extraction in the future.)

1/What the heck is the "middle class", and why is it important?

Today's @bopinion post offers a possible answer.

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/Most Americans consider themselves "middle class".

smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/nin…
3/In fact, even most Americans making over $100,000 consider themselves "middle class" (or "upper middle class")!

Galaxy brain theory: If the sonic in the final version of the movie looks different from what we've been shown in the trailer, it's a change they started making months ago when people reacted poorly to the poster and early "leaks" of the design.
And if that is the case, the trailer we saw was mostly a publicity stunt to make people buzz about it on every social media platform before they announced they'd be changing it.
Basically, here's why it seems fishy; If a studio like paramount wants to hire a VFX house, they put out a bid for the project. This is where most of the work deciding how ragged you're going to run your animators happen, with VFX houses underbidding each other for the contract.

Do you know? OK, but...
How do you know that you know?
What if [ ]?

When stuck in a cycle of perpetual doubt (skepticism), pragmatic solutions are healthy & wise. I choose to learn. With #faith, God will take care if the rest.

#UseLogic #Epistemology #TruthIsEvolution
When the world is trying to convince you that you don't actually exist, that you are an AI or a battery pod in the matrix ("brain in a vat"), why not examine those possibilities with logic & THEN decide how to feel about them? Pragmatically speaking, what can do you about it?
I cannot control everything that happens. I CAN control how I respond to everything that happens. Even if I am only a brain in a vat in the matrix. Cogito ergo sum.

Everyone looks beautiful, especially the women in white. Despite our differences, everyone has a look of cautious peace on their faces. #faith #patience #itBEGINSnow #NOFEAR #BOOM #WWG1WGA #theGreatAwakening #WeThePeople #QAnon @POTUS #theStorm #ByePhoenicia #Covfefe #LoveWins
@POTUS Our @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP is the epitome of Grace. She is someone We admire very much. Thank you, Melania, for all that you have done for our Nation and the World. We look forward to the good times ahead as you and your Family continue to lead Our Nation back to unified greatness
@POTUS @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP I love @SpeakerPelosi's necklace. I recall she wore it a few weeks ago. Lovely. She also looks good tonight, more steady than in recent days. I hope she finds courage to #SayBraveThings that promote unity instead of division. For the good of ALL of Us. The truth will set all free

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
