My Authors

I am always curious about the psychology of sending an email to ask someone a question which solicits a bit of factual information which is abundantly available on the first link of the most obvious Google search.

There's a way to read this as passive aggressive pique. To clarify: I'm legitimately curious.

What is the job-to-be-done here? Is it that certain user populations trust "oral" communication more than things written on the Internet? Is it an attempt at bonding?

Some day I'd like to write "People don't come with an instruction manual, and other bugs in the world."

1) ....and it's midnight. So we will review what the Mueller report actually said (note: based on the Executive Summary; if you want all the bits and pieces read the 450 page report.)

2) We need to get a good grounding in what the report is saying before "filling in the blanks" with the other key reports, news stories, and Q posts that provide the context we need to really understand what went on here.

@POTUS

3) Let's begin with the bottom line:

Russia did try to interfere in our election, and what they did violated our laws. However, neither @POTUS nor anybody in the Trump campaign colluded with them, and the head of the FBI told the President that this fact was known.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.

This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

@EricRWeinstein

1/ This is kind of a mega thread to get a glimpse into @EricRWeinstein’s insights on a wide variety of subjects.

The thing about Eric is, he balances a sparkling intellect with an openness to carry out enquiries, into spaces where rational thinking alone isn’t enough.

2/ His ability to explore and articulate complex subjects with nuance & depth, makes it extremely tough to put him into any kind of box.

Sure, he's the MD of Thiel Capital, but there's so much more driving him. And these are the very things for which he doesn't get his due.

@BretWeinstein

3/ Personally speaking, his views on Self-teaching / High-agency really do strike a chord.

The multiverse of topics he can traverse is quite something. As his brother @BretWeinstein says: ‘He's good at evolutionary thinking in a way I'll never be good at mathematical thinking'
