Elon uses X to shape the world. His tweets matter. When Musk blocks you, you can’t see important information readily available to others, not even when quoted by a friend. This amounts to a brave new kind of censorship, targeted at particular members of the audience.
@elonmusk

I’m not saying this is Musk’s intent. It seems likely to me that he doesn’t even realize how different X looks after his block.

I‘m not saying blocks have no place. I block accounts that look like bots or sock puppets. I also block those those who harass or attempt to distort conversation in the replies. I bend over backwards not to block critics who don’t cross those (unfortunately subjective) lines.

I sat next to a nurse (older) on a flight. I asked her about her experience during the Covid crisis. She said that “anti-vaxxers” had made things tough. Then she stopped herself and said “of course don’t know if you might be an anti-vaxxer”

I said “I wasn’t one, but the Covid vaccine nonsense woke me up”. I told her I knew a lot of injured people from the Covid jabs, and I couldn’t believe these highly novel, barely tested shots were being given to healthy, young people who stood to gain nothing from them, and that I was shocked that they were still being recommended.

She nodded in agreement and said the mRNA vaccines had been particularly bad, indicating she was aware of many people injured and killed by them.

Later in the conversation she told me that her husband had recently died of pancreatic cancer. And her son had been diagnosed with aggressive, metastatic colon cancer.

She did not appear to see a connection between the shots and the cancers. The timing of these tumors could of course, be mere coincidences, but I would have thought the question of a possible connection would be obvious. And given the frank medical nature of our conversation, I believe she would have mentioned a suspicion if she’d had one.

I find the whole encounter disorienting, suggesting a fragmented belief structure that I believe must be common amongst those getting their news from corrupted sources—the smoldering ruins of a collapsed mass formation event.

#NeverAgain

P.S. this is accurate to the best of my recollection, but I’m sure it’s not perfect.

P.P.S. She did not know who I was, and when I gave her a general idea of what I did for a living, and what I now do, there was no indication that she was aware.

Bad news. I was right, again. In this case about George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, but what should be bugging you is the question of how it’s possible to beat the experts and the public consensus so regularly.

Hint: there’s a method. Many claim to use it. Most are faking.

The method that allows a person to beat the experts is called: First Principles Thinking. The entire intellectual class swears they’re doing it. Most probably believe they are—but aren’t. The sign that someone is practicing the art is predictive power.

In case you’re wondering, yes, I’m getting tired of being told that I used to make sense but this time I have it wrong, wrong, wrong. Unless you have a string of predictions better than mine, you might want to ask yourself where your certainty is coming from. Likely it’s social.

The Israel Attacks: Beyond the Obvious with @efenigson

The line between good and evil is, in this case, crystal clear--and it applies to us all. Barbarism is evil, especially carried out against civilians, immeasurably more so against children. Further, notions of collective guilt and punishment are incompatible with moral decency.

Celebrations of calculated barbarism across the world on the one hand, and hemming and hawing by elites who don't wish acknowledge their rejection of them on the other, are the clearest indication I have yet witnessed that we are in motion toward a historic, global catastrophe.

My account seems to be specially restricted on X/Twitter. High-engagement tweets stay well below the fold on trends—not the case under previous management. I brought this to Musk’s attention. He asked for more info, then blocked me when I provided it. Perhaps that’s on me.

Here’s an example of the issue. Look at the engagement numbers of the tweets above mine in the Sam Harris trend.

There were two more tweets in this thread. One contained a screen capture so slow to load, perhaps. Will check back later

Here is some advice, Claire. I hope you’ll take it in the spirit in which it is offered.

You had a blind spot before COVID. You believed vaccines were simply safe. And these shots were carefully branded as “vaccines” so they would fit in that blind spot.

Your error was serious, but you’re not a doctor or biologist, so it’s at least partly understandable.

That changes when you, as a journalist, discover you were misled (“safe and effective” was nonsense from the start) and you fail to investigate how deep the rabbit hole goes.

You have an excellent position from which to start healing the divide. Dare to consider how you and others were used, and how many were hurt and then gaslit over their injuries

You become responsible for that harm if you cover for those who knew as you rationalize your own error
