Subscribe to The Portal podcast. In Ep. 8, my friend @AndrewYang stops by to discuss neurodiversity, the new Labor Economics of the age of AI, and the need to force China to liberalize by denying them infinite access to the fruits of our open democracy.

We also discuss the centrality of Pirate Radio, Audio Samizdat, and Podcasting in the face of active media suppression of the Yang and Gabbard insurgencies, as well as our betrayal by an entrenched expert class:

You've heard Andrew Yang before, but even the hard core #YangGang2020 may find something new in part 1 of this interview set to continue when Andrew next comes to LA.

The political revolution for long marginalized neurodiverse families starts now with The Portal as Ground Zero.

Sure. Austere Religious Scholarship starts harmlessly enough filming ISIS beheading videos, actual sexual slavery and literally throwing homosexuals off roofs, but sooner or later you find @SamHarrisOrg @Quillette and you realize it *was* a gateway to the Intellectual Dark Web.
Look, there is ISIS and “team civilization” with all our warts

I never knew why the legacy media viewed our honestly discussing religiously motivated terror killings as if such a simple recognition of motive where “phobic” rather than rational. Now I am beginning to understand.
I’m unabashedly on team civilization. Al-Baghdadi was on the other team. The bad guys.

The fact that we‘re not *simple* good guys as we claim doesn’t mean we‘re ISIS. We‘re team civilization and we know that because we examine our own flaws & *crimes*. We‘re still the good guys.

Just by being here, you‘re always one viral tweet away from your private ideas reaching grateful people who will transform you & your family’s life forever for the better. I believe this.

If that has happened to you, would you share that tweet with me either here or in my DMs?🙏
But keep in mind, there is no known way to go viral that escapes hate. Why?

Just by going viral you disrupt stasis. Disruption creates redistribution, threat & envy. These express as hate, shame & intimidation. Your willingness to pay those speculative prices inspires us daily.
Here is the point of this thread: I get a few DMs every day that move me. I urge those of you who write to me with inspiring stories and ideas to consider finding your voices. I can’t get to them all and you don’t know it but many of you are sitting on Gold. Clear your throat. 🙏

This the last protest tweet of a small triptych. But these folks are rebelling for our current system against grandstanding environmentalists.

These all follow Arnold Kling’s thy:

Progressives fight oppression. Libertarians fight coercion.
Conservatives fight loss from change.
The reason I bring this up is the following. What if we looked at ourselves as being in *all* three protests:

Yes the world is oppressively rigged.

Yes I don’t want my life at the whim of someone else’s pen and gun.

Yes I want to get to work w/o being shamed by grandstanders.
I think that’s where I am; experiencing all of Arnold Kling’s three triggers simultaneously. And quite frankly, I think most of us are feeling the same. It’s too much change without enough good change. It’s too much humiliating coercion without enough coordinated self expression.

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.

"I want to warn the world about an unprecedented danger that’s threatening the very survival of open societies.

…I’ll focus on #China, where President #XiJinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme."

project-syndicate.org/onpoint/the-ai…
"Xi is trying to consolidate all the available info about a person into a centralized database to create a 'social credit system'..people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the 1-party state. People will then be treated accordingly."
"#China is not the only #authoritarian regime in the world, but it is undoubtedly the #wealthiest, #strongest & most developed in machine learning & #AI.

This makes #Xi the #most #dangerous #opponent of those who believe in the concept of #OpenSociety."
