You and @joerogan were clear, so much so that your accusers haven’t even been able to edit you into ambiguity. They are amplifying the clip in hopes someone can figure out how to frame a credible objection or, failing that, the audience will simply record that one has been made.
The subtext is that you and Joe aren’t allowed to discuss the topic of race unless you are repeating presently fashionable platitudes. And that is, of course, racism in its purist form. @Trevornoah can make observations that you can’t.

Truth doesn’t work like that. Power does.
I’m not taking @Trevornoah to task. He mocked you for making an observation so obvious that, in his mind, it was ridiculous for you to point it out. @donlemon, OTOH, accused you of saying something unacceptable. Which is it, obvious or unacceptable?

Both, and that’s the problem.
What is truly vile is that @donlemon invents a race problem where there is none. You report that YOU, @jordanbpeterson, were called “an angry white man” by @MichaelEDyson. Lemon inverts the quote as if you said it about Dyson—history’s 1st draft, fabricated before our eyes.

Pharma has captured more than regulators and public health authorities. It has invaded people’s minds—including some good ones. Neil Young won’t cause Spotify to toss Joe Rogan but pressure will continue to mount. Whenever it does we should say: #ThanksJoeRogan &
#ThankYouSpotify
Strange that the fate of the West may depend on the @joerogan Experience, and that JRE may need our defense. But I assure you both are true.

Pharma and its partners know. That is why the heat is being turned up on Joe and @Spotify. It’s the front line of the war on free speech.
Likes, retweets and replies are all great, but composing organic tweets with those hashtags is even better. Please avoid cut and paste. Be authentic. Say thanks— because it’s the right and smart thing to do.

I have been warning of an impending dark age since before I joined Twitter in 2009. And I’m not alone. Covid has simply made the general rot so obvious that a large and growing minority can now see it.

#ThankYouSpotify
The anti-rational darkness has been overtaking civilization for decades. Most didn’t notice what was replacing science because things continued to ~function, despite rampant corruption—both financial and intellectual. Anti-science now pervades every structure. Gov. Edu. Tech…
There is complete set of kill-stitches on truth. There is nothing power must accept. There is no way to force the matter other to go directly to the public on Joe Rogan’s show, or wherever else people who are too fed up to remain intimidated choose to gather.

Omicron could well be excellent news. Even Delta is very manageable with early treatment. Omicron looks to be even more so. And that could allow us to exit the pandemic as a large fraction of the population acquires immunity with mild disease. But there are caveats.
1. We know little yet of Omicron. It might not match our initial assessment.
2. Our leaders are intent on continual (re)vaccination of every last person irrespective of risk, medical need or epidemiological value. No reason to think that’ll change. Early treatment is key, yet DOA
3. We’re pushing a novel—likely functionally enhanced—virus around evolutionarily. No one can predict the outcome with confidence. ADE and original antigenic sin are still on the table. Our recklessness could drive SARS2 toward those with innate immunity (e.g. the healthy/young)

Privacy is now downstream of geography.
Even if this isn’t fully true, the fact that many of the world’s most insightful people appear to believe that it is true, and that many of them now act accordingly, will causes it to become effectively true. We let down our guard because maintaining it feels naive and wasteful.
This may be the biggest obstacle to rescuing the west. Whether we do or we don’t actually live in the panopticon, all sense making and change seeking is now done by geographically disbursed groups of people, each of which contain members who have given up on private communication

Humans are naturally persuaded by consensus. But this leaves us vulnerable to manipulation based on phony agreements established through corruption, coercion and the censorship of contrary voices. If you want to know what’s really going on, read the books they wish to burn.
This paper passed "peer review" and was then mysteriously removed from the web--without notice to the authors. What is clear is that someone or some thing doesn't want it read and discussed in public. We beat censorship by making it backfire: archive.is/mwcEG
The censoring publisher is Elsevier. That's the (family) name of Galileo's publishing house. The modern Elsevier (founded 1880) proclaims this heretical heritage proudly, along with its support of Jewish scholars being persecuted by the Nazis.

This has always been about life and death. I’ve been clear about that. Covid is a dangerous disease. I’ve said so often. But lethal as SARS-CoV2 is, the capture of public health, drug safety + academic medicine by an industry that’s fueled by disease makes it even more dangerous.
I take Mr. Lawrenson’s death seriously, but no more seriously than those of Jacob Clynick and Simone Scott.

I've repeatedly defended my critic’s good faith. I assumed they were trying to do the right thing, just as I am. I’m disgusted now by the selective weaponizing of tragedy.
.@EricRWeinstein has been telling me for months that I structured my point incorrectly, so that what I intend is not what is heard. He’s clearly right about that. He was also right that "snap-to-grid intellectualism" (his term) has taken over the public sense-making sphere.
