This is one of those resonant tweets: I’m done playing nice with the Woke Right

Imagine telling a Reagan Republican to bend the knee to Putin

Pfff…Good luck with that

First off, you’re wrong…you don’t understand geopolitics…and btw, I’m for trying to negotiate a peace…but… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If you’re confused by this tweet, bookmark it and revist in a year

Maybe it’ll age well, maybe not

I’ll admit if I was wrong
What’s more important for me is that I can put “Intellectually Honest” back into my profile

I’ve not been that even though I promised I would “always be honest, even if you don’t agree”

Twitter is not a great platform for going against popular opinion…I’m not immune
If all you take away from this tweet is “Ukraine”, you’ve missed the point

The mindless devotion to extreme political cults on Twitter is a grave threat to critical thinking and genuine discourse

Blind adherence to any ideology is an affront to the pursuit of truth and reason
The danger of seeing the world as either black or white is the temptation to ignore the infinite shades of grey that lie in between

This simplistic thinking leads to the demonization of those who hold different views, hindering dialogue and progress

Embrace nuance, reject… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It's disappointing to see so many public intellectuals forsaking their responsibility to uphold the values of critical thinking and intellectual honesty

It is disheartening to witness their intellectual bankruptcy and moral cowardice as they bow to the whims of social media

Hey @GregAbbott_TX, remember when the top UT-Austin administration got caught directly funding Kendi/DiAngelo based critical race theory for 4 year olds:
mindingthecampus.org/2021/11/17/gok…
Even Fox News picked it up, and Lieutenant Governor @danpatrick called out the university.

foxnews.com/politics/ut-au…
But all they did was pause the program for a week or two, and then it went ahead, using state money!

Can’t say nobody knew about this

Thread: The anti-Ivermectin position strikes me as being somewhat contrarian and driven by partisanship over logic

I wouldn't argue that Ivm is proven to work, but I don't think you can definitively say it doesn't work...there are studies, including RCTs, that say it does

Many probably know this site...it's run by retired commercial research scientists with resumes of published works in reputable journals like Nature

You don't need to agree with their meta analysis, but you can't deny that some studies say that it works

At most you can say that Ivermectin has not been proven to work

But so what?

Were masks definitively proven to work before they were mandated?

Any real world evidence that lock-downs would be a net benefit for society?

So you have to question why this is an issue

Just listened to @mtaibbi on @joerogan…great episode

They predict independent journalists overtake MSM with platforms like substack

Problem I see: they’re still beholden to their audience (clicks, subs, etc)…reasonable/nuanced content…meh

Majority want stuff they agree with
The issue is incentive structure

Now that the media is not trusted, people gravitate towards those that give them what they want in terms of content

Not necessarily those that give a full and honest picture of the news

Not sure it’s a better system…

Case in point:
Another thing I caught from @mtaibbi is that via substack he has to crank out content which is different from before when he could spend weeks or months on a story

So the result will be more stories but more opinion and less journalism…less investigation, lower quality of info
