17.01.2022 As soon as I start scrolling through Twitter, my blood begins boiling at all the irrational, captious, sensationalist, vicious nonsense. It's giving me anger issues. I probably block some popular Tweeter out of disgust almost every other time I log on. There are good people on Twitter but they spend a huge amount of time trying to respond to the bad people. And there are so many more bad people. It's so cursed.
15.01.2022 impossible to overhype Gettysburg Address. love that shit
14.01.2022 https://medium.com//the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dictators thinking about this a lot these days. one of taleb's better blogposts

09.01.2022 I somehow missed this article previously. Discovered it due to the fact that the author was interviewed last night by Phillip Adams. Extremely sweeping overview of the entire history of the United States as the global empire. Good fun. https://www.rollingstone.com//covid-19-end-of-american-er/
08.01.2022 thankfully, starting to seem like i was wrong about this! of course, anything can happen but, according to polling I've seen, looks like Biden has decisively overtaken Trump among older voters.. like so many, i underestimated Biden. His greatest strength is being largely oblivious to youth/Twitter/woke politics, and just seeming solid, stolid and safe.| .. to be clear, i dont think i was wrong about his cognitive feebleness - "has dementia" was obviously facetious, though i do legitimately think he might be borderline

06.01.2022 Seems like a lot of ppl only ever think in heuristics - "System 1" 24/7. System 1-type political behaviour is characterised by interpreting a current issue or event based on one's immediate gut feeling, the cast of characters who seem to be saying one thing versus another, the dominant tone of the messaging of people saying one thing versus another, and other heuristically relevant features. The proper approach is to cast aside such heuristics, and try to reflect on how the phenomenon does or does not concord with your existing principles, and how you might update your attitudes and beliefs in response.
02.01.2022 the murdoch machine is going buck wild against Dan Andrews. it's so incredibly repetitive. i wouldnt quite know how obstinate and vicious this campaign really is if it weren't for the fact that youtube now has this news panel automatically on the home page (screenshot attached). to be clear, this is not a recommendation thing, as i never watch commercial tv news clips. i think it might be there as part of some youtube reform to promote 'reputable' media institutions in response to the various criticisms that have been levelled at the YT algorithm... but if that's the reason, it's fucked that they don't have ABC or SBS clips. The media ecosystem is so royally fucked, i can't not find it terrifying

This is the H.R.-ization of debate. In journalism, we saw some dramatic changes in how reporters looked at their jobs in recent months, thanks in significant part to this dynamic."
01.01.2022 https://eand.co/if-life-feels-bleak-its-because-our-civiliz lol this medium post is pretty entertaining. to be clear, i think it's highly irrational and contains almost nothing except rank speculation but it's a rollicking read
