The state of social media censorship:

When pointing at a peer-reviewed meta-analysis paper (strongest evidence we have in medicine) for off-label use of an FDA approved drug, that is safer than Tylenol, shown to prevent Covid-19

Is enough to get you banned

This is not a fringe theory, it’s working in Mexico, Argentina, around the world, it’s being prescribed in the USA

Did we learn nothing in 2020?

Did we learn nothing from the lab leak censorship and group think?

Thinking in public is against YouTube’s terms of service

Man I can not speak highly enough for the practice of starting things before you know you’re going to finish them.

Big day today
Funny enough, there’s a typo in this tweet “start things before you know HOW you’re going to finish them” was what I meant, but the one that came out is just as true, and seemed to strike a nerve!

Civilization advances with the increase in the number of actions that can be done without thinking.

Which implies…

My Dad is notorious for giving homemade gifts, often only tangentially related to the holiday

My sense is he mostly gives 🎁s he knows he'd enjoy making, to people he enjoys thinking about while he makes them

Today is his birthday
I like writing 🧵
So this will be one about him
I do not think I have met a man who was more successful by his own standards than my Father.

It's the standard I've used for guiding my life and choosing my goals, but I've not seen much written about before.

Follow it, and you too may live to become a mascot for frozen fish.
The most important lessons aren't the ones you say with your words, they are the ones you live out, the example you set for others.

The implicit lesson I learned from my Father is that only two things really matter - one is living a life that will lead to interesting stories.

An America that takes this path is not just turning off a beacon of hope...

It is a constructing a lighthouse, a warning for would be immigrants:

"Stay far far away from this rocky shore, for it would rather smash in the skulls of your babies than acknowledge their difference"
An America that would choose to hold back the next Ramanujan is an America that is cashing out its share of the future.

On second thought, Fine. Fuck it. Let it burn.

We're overdue for a dark age anyway.

This, except I am painfully aware every day of how we haven’t solved the problem that drove me to work on this.

Success is the small improvements compounding, hard won victories that let you take on ever harder parts of the problem.

[[Beginning of Infinity]] ish
Shoutout to all my exes that were willing to use @RoamResearch to try and resolve our disagreements

Namaste to everyone who ever put in work to try and find out what the hell I was talking bout.

Hopefully the bright side of having hard-mode problem is that solutions will scale
Also much love to everyone in #roamcult who reads my tweets charitably and with assumption of positive intent, and to @EpistemicHope and rationality.org for pioneering work on [[Double Crux]], one of best processes I’ve found for thinking together

I think about this a lot, but have to side with John Hammond
Monday morning quarterbacking, but the park probably would have gotten into the black with just triceratops and brontosaurus.

I question ROI of Velociraptors, or why you wouldn’t wait 5 years to breed them and have the announcement bump up return visits
I also question staffing decisions - besides the key man risk in IT, what kind of head of security waits until the target is in sight to load his gun?

Was she really that clever, or was this fellow simply a dunce?

Anyway the answer is still always to bring back dinosaurs
