@doctorow is one of my favorite writers and this thread is great. "between workers and investors, there's a zero-sum game" - this is the ultimate goal of capitalism, as the limit approaches zero, the only number that matters is how much wealth you can extract from other people. https://twitter.com/jennplusplus/status/1397977027798605836

*narrator voice* it turned out that most men are intimidated, more than aroused, by women who are beautiful *and* have technical skills. The enterprise failed spectacularly.

@TommyMaherDev @ChrisExpTheNews THANKS TO YOU I FOUND IT.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE TEACHING MATH. IT'S CODING. MY TIMELINE OF ~5 YEARS AGO VAGUELY ACCURATE.

@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.

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?!
