Media is the meth of the masses.

Summary of narratives I heard in 2020:

The left: Republicans want to murder people like you and make your way of life illegal

The right: Democracts want to murder people like you and make your way of life illegal

Both: Not voting is UNAMERICAN
Pro tip:

Majority of your friends who support BLM or Biden are not communists ready to cheer on death squads, or neoliberals praying for another middle east war.

Majority of your family members who cast a ballot for Trump are not fascists that want to put minorities in cages.
You think the billions spent last year didn't affect you - that they just did it for FUN.
That should have had ? Instead of a .

Seriously though, we've all been got, and we keep getting got, and partisan mind-rot is just the price of democracy.

Be good to your family, love your friends, especially if they've been brainwashed by ANYONE

Love people where they're at.
Song of the day.

This is the end of my election related tweets here

Reminder that the IRA - the main Russian group creating fake news around US elections in 2016... had one primary goal -increase polarization with hope of creating civil unrest.

BLM content, fake secessionist groups, right wing, left wing, all with 1 goal

Also, just be aware - it isn't just the folks trying to win the election who are actively trying to get Americans to change their beliefs

"Don't try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time, and it irritates the pig"

WOW this stings

"You would love me, at cost of your happiness, and ask me to love you at cost of my own... so now we have two unhappy people, but long live love!"

To show how strong default frame is, I almost tweeted the prior quote, "gauge of love is unselfishness" 🤯

Ideas don't belong to us. We don't "have them" - we're just the vessel they flow through.

Ideas find their way through you when you're living at the edge of their [[Adjacent Possible]]

This is how Newton and Liebneitz both discovered Calculus independently. Living on same edge.
