@JEhrenhofer @aklamun Do you think major investors who have backed the project are going to let the price get driven down to nothing, and, why would anyone sell at such ridiculously low prices if they could wait 3 days for a better price: this is all reflexive.

This is beautiful. But what does it mean that it is useful? I think we should aspire to create a society where such an idea is pointless. http://marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2021/05/journal-of-controversial-ideas.html
Just found this gem. It's a real problem when not everything you say is recorded & made searchable all the time. - How are people gonna know (& prove!) if you actually said something bad??

The term "accountability" is constantly used without any reference 'to whom' people/thing are accountable *to*
the concept means nothing without specifying what institution or value-system people have made any obligation to
people…

Ok so chapter 12 of “Noise” by Kahneman, Sibony and Sunstein contains a repeated, incorrect claim about stats / causality: the claim that no correlation implies no causation. Easy to disprove this claim, no math needed, see my next tweet.
This is a good thing, because it makes it harder to view "cancel culture" as a strictly right-wing talking point. Perhaps we can finally have a useful conversation about online outrage?

The trouble with inventing new forms of warfare is that your opponents eventually adopt them. Now conservatives are getting people cancelled too.

Using Windows. The greatest challenge in history, apparently: giving the right windows focus at the right time.
Still not what the anarcho-capitalists were expecting.

It seems that in the absence of tort law that makes it a civil wrong to pressure employers to fire their own workers, vigilante efforts like this will only escalate https://concordat.ghost.io/offering-a-bounty-for-the-apple-petition-to-fire-antonio-garcia-martinez/

The communists wanted something good and created something horrible. How can we know we're not like them?

This is just such a confusing statement from a black-hat group. What's happened to our criminals?!?
In a long overdue motion, the German Green party, of all people, is going to clarify the definition and limits of sarcasm in the expulsion proceedings of Boris Palmer, wo in turn thought it'd be a good idea to use the literal n-word in an ironic comment. - what might go wrong?!
Nice, though I don't think the strat are classical ad hominem attacks: one discredits the speaker *by* discrediting (through arbitrary re-framing, omitting context, etc) the argument. Does this have a name?

cigarette smoking is a valuable spiritual path toward dispelling the illusion that the struggle for survival can be won, thereby realizing that all efforts toward it can ever do is buy time, so you should evaluate whether the time you're buying is worth what you're paying for it
Wait what, equity is equality of outcome?! Have I been using this wrong the whole time?? 😳

Disney tells employees they should reject “equality,” or “equal treatment,” and instead strive for “equity,” or “the equality of outcome.” They must “reflect” on America’s “racist infrastructure” and “think carefully about whether or not [their] wealth” is derived from racism.
