|content=@RadioFreeTom @SamHarrisOrg Okay. I'm claiming that if we put the adjective 'private' in front of nouns associated w expertise (physician --&gt; private physician, school --&gt; private school, etc.) you'll find lay people believing it represents real expertise &amp; thus an unfair advantage. They believe in experts.

Is the problem here that your definitions of misinformation actually includes *all* known journalistic distortion tricks (e.g. Russell Conjugation, buried ledes, “to be sure” graphs, etc.). That would shift my sense away from facts as the center of your issue.

Q1) Do you *unbias* search you think is biased under an internal “ML-Fairness” initiative?

Q2) Did Google find that History can represent “latency bias”? Findings in biology/psychology can lead to exclusion bias? Economic theory can lead to inequality bias? Etc.

|content=1/4 Google literally tells you how they bias your view of the world. Only they call it unbiasing. And unbiasing is supposedly politically neutral. It’s just that in the view of woke engineers, conservatives are typically biased by history, privilege, biological essetnialism, etc.

|content=4/4 I hope someone took a shot at this line of questioning. But I’m writing this as a non conservative because this “no bias” game is moronic. We don’t need ‘fresh faces’. We need tough folks in congress w/ technical backgrounds who can operate in all areas where Google operates.

Q3) If you found conservatives were likely to believe in more traditional interpretations of Gender, Biology, Markets, Military Power, Ethnicity, Religion, Borders, Psychology, Wealth, Achievement, would they be more likely to be *unbiased* by Google?

That’s how this works.

|content=@benshapiro Partially. Yes. But there is reverse causality also. There aren't that many 27YO breadwinners that can properly support a care-giving co-parent for 10-15 years of kid rearing.

|content=End/ Let’s come up with language to make it very expensive to repeatedly push for something simple, clear &amp; wrong as if we were just saying something reasonable &amp; nuanced. 

If you’ve noticed this trend, send me examples or anyone else’s name for it. Thx! 🙏

“Globalist” is sometimes a cryptic insult to Jews.

“Nationalist” is sometimes cryptic speech for Jingoist.

Terminology that is overloaded leads to this problem.

|content=UBI is an experiment in B above. If you don’t like it, you‘re free to gamble that A will always work. But I’ve seen too many games played to rig markets against the median individual. We‘re losing the trust of ordinary folks that they can make it and I don’t want to lose markets.

|content=You know, I’m not really a big UBI guy. But hear me out: if you lose the median worker’s ability to have dignity &amp; a family in his/her twenties through the ability to exert upward wage pressure back on employers..you are courting Marxist revolution. And sorry, but I’m no Marxist.

|content=In a nation, we have two claims on our economy: 

A) A strong claim from our value-add as a contributor.

B) A weak claim as a mere soul.

That’s why I’m focused on A. But if we lose public trust in upward mobility through employment via wage pressure, we will lose these markets.

A) Was Jeffrey Epstein a market genius?

B) If not, what thing X was funding Jeffrey Epstein?

C) Did MIT have a direct relationship to X?

If you’re too weak to demand US-market level compensation for your family, you‘re too weak to tell an exploitative advisor to buzz off when you’re right. You‘re too weak to do US style science &amp; challenge orthodoxy.

You‘re too weak to do the job.

|content=So here’s our choice. 

Either: 

A) Stop whining and pay US STEM costs for some of the best and most irreverent mavericks in the world.

B) Shut down the programs that can’t compete.

C) Prepare to have PRC work its way into every corner of US R&amp;D by supplying our workforce.

|content=This is hard to keep saying: almost everything we think about STEM is wrong.

A) We the US are GREAT at science.

B) Workers are mislabeled as students/trainees.

C) We underfund research.

D) China sends workers valued by Unis as they not as free or expensive as our own people.

|content=This is not investment advice. But it is a belief that central bankers through their disguised actions are a threat to all those who hold cash and its close equivalents. Look into BTC, XAU, CHF, XAG,  etc etc etc and make up your own mind. There are risks to all. Good luck.

|content=This is another version of the vaccine point. Many of us will inject ourselves if credible experts say “There are risks, here’s what we know and don’t know.” But it is far harder when nakedly political people who get many things repeatedly wrong say “THIS-IS-SAFE. FULL STOP.”

So “settled” doesn’t mean settled. It is “consensus speak” for when some group wants to obligate us to take orders.

I assume, because that is false. So what are you and BLS saying?

|content=The markets are still working. Religion, government, politics, journalism, academics seem not to be.

I used to think “Thank god we still have markets.” but now think that MAY be a serious error on my part. It may be that markets need to be tempered by just that which is failing.

|content=Said differently, when law, culture, religion, journalism &amp; science temper markets, those markets are among the most powerful tools we have for human betterment. But when markets can capture ANYTHING that tempers them, they may do exactly the opposite, and no less efficiently.

|content=Great question. Inflation is SUPPOSED to be a group valued field. In the case of bilateral trade it’s an element of GL(2,R) although the economists haven’t gotten there yet. But it is mostly not a field on Geography. It’s a field on path, Loop, preference and geographic spaces.

Wuhan involves a Bio-Weapons Convention workaround using @EcoHealthNYC funded by @dtra.

We created scientists who all fear for their ability to feed families when we ended true academic freedom.

Science-serfdom.

We are talking about institutional evil. Why it is there, I can’t say. But we need to simply take out the Fauci class from control over science.

CN Yang (with Lee and Simons)
Paul Dirac 
Ernst Stueckelberg
Madame Wu
David Bohm
Abdus Salam
Ken Wilson
Emmy Noether
Ettore Majorana
Carlo Rubio 
Shin'ichirō Tomonaga

Freeman Dyson
Julian Schwinger 
Paul Ehrenfest
John VonNeumann
Feza Gursey
Wolfgang Pauli
Louis and Edward Witten
Hans Bethe

Would be curious to hear names from others.

|content=But let’s face facts: inspiration is not the issue. Fundamental Physics needs to be a good life. What is holding us back is:

A) Terrible Pay. 

B) Worse Odds of Survival

C) Decoupling of Success at Physics from Success in Physics

D) The Matthew Effect.

E) Math and Physics Pricks

F) Tyranny of large programs over individuals.

G) Multi Decade Stagnation

H) Un Scientific And even Anti-scientific behavior.

I) The Matilde Effect

J) The Sudarshan Effect

K) Ethics Collapse

L) Needlessly long pedagogical sequence (e.g. intro physics -> Classical Mechanics -> Grad Classical Mechanics -> Symplectic Geometry)  driven by history.

M) Socializing physics into a team sport in areas dominated by individuals and iconoclasts.

N) Tolerance for Program level failure (e.g. *obsessive* use of toy model physics to evade a reckoning).

O) Intolerance for individual error and failure by those in programs.

P) Failure to reward early contributions (e.g. *Abelian* Chern Simons QFT).

Q) Atrocious MSM journalism distorting the public understanding.

R) Relentless discussion of woo physics in public and 3-5 real topics (e.g. somebodies cat).

S) Learned Helplessness coming from over-learning Ken Wilson.

T) Inability to support motherhood of female physicists.

U) Inability to keep physics marriages easily together with jobs.

V) DEI loyalty oaths and loss of autonomy.

W) Flooding of markets with disposable labor and abuse apprenticeship as labor.

X) Kicking up on attribution.

Y) Overpaying for cherry topping.

Z) Fetishizing the quantum when innovation in classical field theory remains the heart of QFT.

|content=But lastly, if outsiders want to fund and fix movies, you will find that going to the “Leading physicists” won’t work. Peer review can’t work when the leadership *is* the problem. You get more failure. 

You need to hold meetings where you get disagreement. So choose the leaders and iconoclasts with great care. Patrick Collison isn’t terrible at this. B+. Best I have ever seen. Start there. Good luck. 🙏

|content=This is a serious question: do modern scientists themselves think like scientists? My experience is “no”. But i got there by roaming around academic research and realizing they cannot **afford** to think like scientists. 

Try asking researchers the following rather obvious questions to see the effect for yourself: 

What are male and female?

What can we say about the possible origin theories of COVID?

How are there labor shortages of scientists  in Market Economies???

What is the strength of the argument for the necessity of directly Quantizing Gravity if spacetime is not fundamental?

How do humans behave under evolutionary incentives and what really happened to sociobiology?

Is worrying about cognitive impacts of microcephaly a form of phrenology?

Have standardized tests been useful in predicting success in science?

Why is CPI a number but weather a field?

How do we evaluate the concentrated investment in String Theory/Quantum Gravity at the expense of rival approaches as our basic theory of physics?

Can we use Carnegie stages to evaluate where abortion rights should begin and end?

When innumerable nearly unbelievable conspiracies have been discovered, why demonize all those who consider that there could be more left to be found?

Why are humans not generically  modeled as having changing tastes in markets, nor diminishing returns to money (except in the theory of risk on alternate Tuesdays)?

Did science work *better* before the modern Peer Review revolution of the 1960s?

Why do so many of our leading theoretical particle physicists not have concrete predictions about our physical world and really instead work on toy theories almost exclusively?

|content=One question I get a lot is "What explains your asymmetric focus on Democrats and the Left?"

The short answer, after some soul searching and introspection, is simply this: "The Gaslighting of Experts."

I see the Republican party fighting the experts they oppose. I don't see them trying to gaslight them much.

Let's say you are an economist who believes that higher taxes spent on infrastructure would be good for the nation. The right may fight you. They may call you a name like "Libtard" or "Commie". And that is absolutely awful behavior to me. Truly. But they aren't nearly as likely to coordinate behind the scenes in emails to be discovered later and all agree to pretend, seemingly independently, that as a former expert you have committed some unclear moral crime that means you can never be empaneled or invited onto a commission. They aren't immediately going to treat you like a mental patient, a con-artist, or threat to society. They are just going to be asses. That's the dopey game they love: "Happy Warriors" is what they call it. 

And the subjects I focus on most tend to be the places where I think dissenting experts are being gaslit:

COVID ORIGINS

SOUTHERN BORDER

STRING THEORY

POTUS COGNITIVE STATE AND AGE

EPSTEIN'S INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION

COVID MANAGEMENT

QUESTIONING UKRAINE NATO STRATEGY

INFLATION/GROWTH MEASUREMENT

MONETARY AGGREGATES AND FED INTERVENTION

VP COMPETENCY

ASYMMETRIC TREATMENT OF CONTESTING ELECTIONS and VIOLENT CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

VACCINE INJURY DISCUSSION

SEX AND GENDER REDEFINITION

ANDREW YANG / TULSI GABBARD / RON PAUL / ETC. PRIMARY MANIPULATION

SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY INTERFERENCE

DENIED LEGACY UAP PROGRAMS

HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY

DIRTY TRICKS CAMPAIGNS / DOMESTIC SPYING

NON-CONSENSUAL HUMAN TESTING (infectious agents, radioactivity)

BAILOUTS

MAXIMALIST STRUCTURAL BIGOTRY CLAIMS

LABOR MARKET FLOODING VIA IMMIGRATION

RELIGIOUS TERRORISM

Etc.

In all cases above, there is some absolutely *MASSIVE* long-term lying and obfuscation. Not small. Not excusable. I am talking about massive lies. Lies that last decades. Lies too large to choke a blue whale.

And they incinerate dissenting experts as pretend neer-do-wells for the crime of dissenting from consensus.

What is the point of becoming an expert Stanford or Harvard professor if you can be turned into a "Fringe Epidemiologist" like @DrJBhattacharya was overnight by some washington insiders like Colins and Fauci? 

To an academic: it makes life pointless. Everything we are becomes pointless if that is allowed to stand.

So, this is what I have to say: I appear to be focused on gaslighting of dissenting experts more than politics.

It's not that I don't have political opinions. I do. It's that I haven't been able to focus on them for years. All we seem to do these days is deal with gaslighting on our top line issues above.

And the formula is quite simple. An expert can have: 

A) Reach.
B) Reputation.
C) Independence.

but no more than 2 out of 3. 

This is a terrible rule. And whoever attempts to enforce that rule, is who I fight. Unfortunately, that group has been my own historic political party as transformed over 30 years. 

And, in my opinion, they deserve to continue to hemorrage credibility for that crime against their own until they end this tactic. It's a crime against everything I believe with all my soul. We need *DISSENTING* experts to right our listing ship on all of the above and more.

Check the above list. That's no small thing. It's about the destruction of a country that I dearly love and which the world needs desperately to come back at this moment.

Thanks for hearing me out.

|content=One of the most important forces shaping the current US presidential election is not being sufficiently discussed: COMMUNISM.

Because the Democratic Party does not view itself in any way as communist, you can't have a discussion about the role that communism is playing in support for Donald Trump. How can a Wall-Street friendly party favored by large institutions be communist!?!

Okay. Begin by just stipulating that this is true for the sake of argument whether or not you agree with it.

For the moment, imagine that you see all DEI as Marxist and Maoist. Imagine that you see AOC and the squad as communists. Imagine that what you see in terms of 'social justice' or 'wokeness' or 'Postmodernism' or 'Gender affirming healthcare' or 'Palestinian Genocide' or 'Soros open society initiatives' or 'progressive DAs' or 'Anti-Whiteness' or 'defund the police' is straight up precursor to *violent* revolutionary Marxism.

The people crossing over to the cause of Trump with enormous checkbooks see this EXACTLY the way I have described in the above paragraph. You can pretend that this isn't so. Maybe they won't admit it to you or do so in public. But the stark truth of it is that what is driving a lot of surprising support for Trump and the Republicans has nothing to do with either. It's not all about Trump. Or the GOP. 

It's about Marx, Mao, Stalin, and Lennin. It is the idea that Revolutionary Marxism is a dangerous brain cancer that is always trying to get a foothold among the weak. 

The idea that is everywhere is this: "The Democratic party of the United States thought they could play with rebranded revolutionary Marxists as if the new Communism were merely a form of socially conscious pro-market, pro-democracy liberalism, when it is instead a communist Trojan horse philosophy. It has as its aim, destabilizing and destroying our culture, the United States and then the world. This isn't a culture war. It is the takeover of the United States by hardcore revolutionary neo-marxists who have come for your newspapers, universities, public schools and your children. The leaders who think they can reach out to 'progressive' voters do not realize that they are dancing with a devil who will outplay them."

Does that sound silly to you? Great. Glad to hear it. 

And, if so, you have absolutley no idea what is being discussed by many of the world's smartest, most powerful and most influential people. Constantly.

Why is this confusing? Well, no one I know sees Joe Biden as communist. They don't even see the Democratic party leadership as communist. They view the party as opportunistic and naive in thinking that Democrats can allow violent pathological revolutionaries into the big blue tent with a simple coat of blue paint and a bargain basement rebrand to 'Deconstruct the patriarchy' and 'Decolonize', 'Defund', and otherwise 'Reform' our society while quietly waiting for their real moment.

I'm sorry if this sounds funny to some of you who can't imagine opposing Biden for these reasons. If so, it just means you have no clue...as in ZERO...as to what is going on in a pivotal part of the shift towards Trump.

I just wanted to bring this up because it is barely being discussed in mainstream media:

"It's the Communism stupid."

|content=I personally believe that our US foreign policy is dangerous, out of control, truly load bearing and corrupt. I don’t know what to do about that. 

What I see is two groups of people who just ignore the problem in opposite ways. 

A) “Ignore the corruption! It’s small potatoes. The important thing is that no one can afford to go soft on these policies and treaties on which the free world structurally now depends, and has done so for decades.”

B) “Ignore the claimed load bearing nature of the agreements. That is just obvious BS to intimidate the weak from reforming and draining the swamp and foreign policy blob defended by the intelligence community. Let the market and the people figure this out.”

So the two groups who know exactly what to do are both untrustworthy in my eyes. We have a corrupt foreign policy establishment and we need a surgeon to take out the tumor but no surgeons in sight.

I don’t love what I am communicating here. But that is, sadly, how I see it.

|content=Here is the beginning of the unpacking.

If a free electorate cannot disentangle itself from foreign entanglements through elections, it ceases to be a sovereign democracy.

If those entanglements are subtle, quiet and strategic, the electorate will not be privy to what those entanglements are doing at a structural level as they may involve state secrets that cannot be widely divulged.

If a candidate is not a priori willing to continue to commit to supporting the multi-decade foreign policies of the nation, they may choose to tear down, weaken or expose load bearing agreements in the eyes of the foreign policy establishment.

The foreign policy establishment may be engaged in a combination of both profiteering from, and the maintaince of essential foreign agreements.

The profiteering and lies may cause the electorate to opt to “drain the swamp” to get at the profiteering while the profiteers may point out correctly that the candidates can’t just knock out what the people don’t like without calamity because so much rides on these agreements. 

What I see here is two candidates that are quite likely *not* to continue all the corrupt policies of the US foreign policy establishment even if they *are* load bearing, with one aging and ailing politician who *will* comit to continuing  load-bearing foreign policy structures, even if they *are* corrupt.

He isn’t racist and doesn’t discriminate.

That is not to say that his heart is only filled with sunshine and sweetness mind you; I can assure you that he despises all totalizing ideologies that seek to exploit European tolerance and work for the subversion and destruction of free Western market democracies.

Race, religion and national origin have absolutely nothing to do with it. He’s simply against totalizing ideology. If totalitarian Methodists, Radical Inuits, Militant Bhutanese or Genocidal Laplanders ever start chanting from “From the Thames, to Cliffs of Dover, the Free UK’s days are over.” Or “Decolonize Bath!” I can assure you he will fight them tooth and nail with equal vigor. 

Hope that clarifies things. Good night all.

A woman is not a piece of land. A baby is not a river. 
By the same token a baby is not a tumor. 

The proper use of these analogies is to highlight in a complex setting, ideas that occur in less noisy ones. 

I have never once given my opinion on abortion in this discussion except to say that I have no interest in either pro-life or pro-choice arguments. Thanks for your time Sabine. As always!

|content=A “GET A ROOM” theory of political Schelling point polarization. 

What I think I learned from this poll:

A) The pure Pro-Life and Pro-Choice positions (I.e. “Life begins at conception” vs “my body, my choice”) with their perfect clarity, were only held by 1/3 of respondents when lumped together.

B) The 2/3 of respondents whose position on abortion changes as the fertilized egg develops into a baby are mostly cowed into silence in the comments by the perfect clarity held by the minority.

C) Those respondents who believed that a fertilized egg and a baby about to be born have equal rights, discourage and inhibit (both intentionally and passively) the pure abortion rights and the “things change over pregnancy” respondents from joining the conversation.

D) This mirrors my experience. I am in the 2/3 group and am forced to caucus with the “My body, my choice. Full stop” crowd who do not represent my position in the slightest.

E) This feels almost EXACTLY the same as every other polarizing issue: 

Immigration
Firearms
Ukraine
Gaza
Gender
J6
Religious terror
Democracy
Free markets
Taxation
Crypto
Vaccination
Free speech
Redistribution
Science, TheScience, Pseudo-Science
Etc

In all of these there are clear positions that likely do not attract the majority, but where the majority is forced to caucus with the clear position that at least vaguely more resembles their own.  

This reinterprets Yeats: 

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst   
Are full of passionate intensity.”

Here it is the clear and not the worst that are full of passionate intensity, because they have a “Schelling Point”

Those of us with inferior Schelling points can admit that openly. My position on abortion for example depends on embryology and situational context. That is not as good of a Schelling point as conception or birth. I admit that. 

But the quality of my Schelling point is not the quality of my position. I think I have a superior position at my inferior Schelling point than either pro-life or pro-choice.

My dream is that those with perfect Schelling points should have one conversation and the rest of us should have another. Otherwise we never get to the debates that would depolarize us. 

So just as I say to the “Open Borders” vs “Closed Borders” people or the “Ban all guns” vs “Personal Nukes at Walmart”: get a room kids. 

We need to split these conversations apart. I don’t want to caucus and discuss with pure pro-choice, open borders, and All weapons in private hands groups anymore. I want to cede the clarity arguments. “Your Schelling point wins…congratulations. It is better than mine.”

So that is it. I think I’ve had it with clarity. 

MORAL: those with the clearest Schelling points need to get a room and have one debate, so that the rest of us with less clarity can book a stadium and have a second discussion. But we need to stop mixing up the two explorations.

This wasn’t about abortion after all. It was about political clarity: its benefits, its dangers and its inability to represent the majority of us who lack it.

Thanks for your time. As always. 🙏

|content=Hi Sabine. 

I’m happy to take up your challenge that I mixed different types of arguments. 

Using your logic I can now prove to you that in a different axiomatic system, it is you who would be seen as arguing for female superiority and against equal rights.

Suppose instead we stipulate to your description, analogizing a fetus to a tumor at the *most* mechanical of levels and totally ignore the enormous moral issues raised by that analogy. 

Even then, it does not immediately logically follow that a woman should be able to remove those cells based simply on “equal rights”. Why?  Those cells are not simply her cells even under the law. Those cells left to develop will carry legal obligations for their co creator. 

As this is in no way personal, I will try to take it out of male/female territory to make the point. 

Those co-obligating cells are passing through the female even in the most mechanistic of terms. I may buy a piece of land where a river runs through it. But the law does not give me full rights to treat all that lies within its borders the same way. I cannot dam the river nor pour fertilizer on it for the brief stretch of river that briefly passes through it. Yet you may notice that on another similar property, with a pond contained within its borders, there are no river-like obligations. 

And we are not even talking here about the miracle of life. 

So my assertion is that your axioms would not distinguish between a river and a pond if you merely said “the river and pond properties are both land containing water and should carry equal rights.” 

You can make that argument. But it is the repudiation of what are often called Riparian rights. 

To repudiate Riparian rights could then be axiomatized to indicate female supremacy. Why does the land owner with a stretch of river get the right to dam, divert, empty or pollute that river which was soon to become the shared responsibility/benefit with others?  

My point here is not that you are right or wrong. But that you buried an argument in what you personally feel is the correct choice of axioms. That is your choice. But there is no reason that your axioms are correct. A coffee mug and a donut are not the same under geometry (Riparian rights) as they are to a topologist (“equal rights means my body, my choice”). 

I made no such move. I surfaced mine and did not mix arguments. That happened on your side. 

Again. Not personal. I’m trying to go meta. Both geometers and topologists can live in harmony after all.

Ask yourself if you are better off with one more “Why I left the Left.” article.

|content=There is an old suite of ideas from a different time:

What appears to be coordinated is actually emergent.

What appears to be malice is actually incompetence.

What appears to be a pattern is generally random.

What appears to be doable outside of markets isn’t worth attempting because it can’t be coordinated and/or it is against human nature and/or has too many unintended consequences. 
——

When enough people were educated to believe that suite as a sign of membership in the sophisticated elite, it then became possible to weaponize those ideas because they all shared a hidden feature: enervation.

People too sophisticated to believe in conspiracies, blame, patterns or the possibility of change will not only tend to do nothing, but they will tend to ensure that nothing can be coordinated around them except by narrow self interest. Which means markets/commerce/business is the only thing left.

In this clip, “Is Google trying to influence the 2024 election.” Chris is struggling to point out that it doesn’t require a conspiracy. Of course that is true.

But it is much more helpful to notice that if you have a portfolio of explanations and with allocations to emergence vs coordination, it would be insane to have a zero allocation to conspiracy. 

Moral: Learn how to be a responsible conspiracy theorist. There are no lizard people. But there are sure a lot of back channels and algorithms you know nothing about. 

NOTE: Zuckerberg’s letter pointing to such a coordination in an earlier election appeared after this was taped. So…

It's very good in most generic situations. But it seems unpredictable in edge cases. I have seen it inexplicably rush a road worker holding a hand held stop sign near temporary cones at an airport .

It may charge a thin gate lowered across the road.

It may vascilate in violent ways when it is trying to figure out whether a lane change is possible.

Etc.

The word "Supervised" is doing the work here to take away the words "Full" and "Self". And "Almost" is doing the work to take away "anywhere" in this tweet.

Is it a miracle? Yes! Absolutely. I'm blown away.

Is it miraculous enough to be called "Full Self-Driving"? I would say "Hell no."

We need better and more honest marketing as well as announcements of what Tesla knows about where the AI is weak. 

This is an important technology. At turns probably safer and more dangerous than a human driver in different circumstances.  And it also weirdly seems to get both better and worse at different tasks between updates. The concern is that no one I know seems to know when it is likely to suddenly make a weird split-second decision in a live situation. 

One man's opinion anyway. Anyone else seeing this?

|content=Please follow @MikeBenzCyber.

A thought after talking with him: perhaps we all need to stop using the word “Intelligence” so much. Why? Because it is doing a lot of the work to cloak what we need to be worrying about: Covert Operations.

To remind ourselves, Covert Operations are operations with Gaslighting plans built into their structure in case they are exposed. They are the operations that can’t be exposed and have deniability built into their foundations even if that means destroying reporters, politicians, experts and civilians who get wind that something stinks.

Imagine you broke the Intelligence Community (IC) into two groups:

A) The actual intelligence community.
B) The covert operations community.

My claim is that the lion’s share of the controversy about the IC is no longer about intelligence at all. It’s about covert operations.

It’s about killings, physically extracting information from prisoners, toppling governments, destroying reputations, training and arming paramilitaries, kompromat, running arms/drugs, propaganda, gaslighting etc. 

Everytime we call this the Intelligence Community, we are doing the work of the Covert Operations Community (COC).

The IC isn’t without controversy. Listening in on secure communications, befriending humans to learn secrets, posing as people who do not exist, etc is also controversial.

But it is not remotely the same thing as sabotaging the brake lines on a family sedan, fixing elections or destroying the reputation of well meaning civilian experts whose expertise threatens to uncover their own government’s covert plots that they know nothing about.

Imagine there were a CIA and a COA (Covert Operations Agency) broken out and funded as *separate* entities. Perhaps 95% of the concern would be about the COA. Not the CIA. Which is why intelligence is in some sense acting as cover.

I do worry about the Intelligence  Community. A little.

I worry about the Covert Operations operators every day. It’s in my news. It’s in my markets. It’s in every attempt to figure out what is actually going on in the world (e.g. Ukraine, physics, energy markets, elections). It is a large part of why we cannot think straight. An enormous structure that pretends to be not worth worrying about.

That is the source of  propoganda, gaslighting, character assasination, torture, and murder. All protected by the idea that worrying about such actual people and actions can be taken as a sign of paranoia and mental illness! This is really incredibly sick. Also: genius. You have to give credit to these people. It’s an amazing thing to have people who question you, automatically self incinerate merely because they questioned what you were doing. 

The problem isn’t intelligence. It’s covert operations. It’s the implicit COA, not the CIA.

And why is this? It’s because if there were a National Conspiracy Department in the form of a COC it would be a normal thing to ask about the nature of its work. Its budget. Its ethical restrictions. Its successes and failures. Etc. Even if you believe, as I do, that we unfortunately need such capacity in a dangerous world.

In its absence, only a paranoid conspiracy theorist would focus on such crazy things involving intelligence agencies. Who is against intelligence, after all? Certainly not me.

Genius. Pure genius.

|content=Uh…uh….wow. No. Ha! Gosh. Where to even begin.

No nation has *ever* implemented this Coasian model. Why?? Because the open borders crowd *hates* it. They just want labor to lower wages, and don’t care about natives’ welfare function at all. Trust me on that.

I take it you are neither an economist nor a migration expert from your comment. I have thus screenshot several blasphemies against the migration fanatics. All are in that paper. I recommend at least skimming the paper and acquainting yourself with the **conservative** open borders movement of the 1980s and 1990s.

I’m just not engaging this “Great Replacement” bit. Sorry. Totally uninterested.

But I am a life long xenophilic *restrictionist* from well before the  paper you screenshot. Maybe the xenophilic bit is confusing you?

See my even earlier work from the 1990s at the NBER, MIT, UN and Harvard with Sloan. It’s all about the progressive case against the conservative (employer) 1990s mania for open borders that was run from the Wall Street Journal via constitutional amendment. 

The short version is: “Employers love migration, but only because it is an *anti-market* uncompensated theft/subsidy for them forced down the throat of labor and natives. Give the supposed free marketers an actual market solution and they will run away, every time.”

Hope that helps. Be well.

|content=You're getting it. May I throw in a few details? 

Migrant worker programs already exist. They are loved by businesses for their ability to lower wage outlays by destroying the bargaining positions of natives. That has been true from long before I entered the scene.

The problem has been that Business has been able to advertise three false things: 

A) Taking away the rights of native workers is pro-free-market.

B) Business is xenophilic. 

C) All opposition to business immigration is bigotted and racist nativism. 

This work stepped into that business framework to show that ALL THREE are false. 

I'm quite proud of this work. It's free market. It's pro worker. It's pro natives. It's pro business. It's pro xenophile. So it's a nightmare for those lying about immigration. No one implements it because business doesn't care about natives, immigrants or free markets. It cares about money. And workers and natives don't understand coasian analysis is their best friend. It can be used to prove that business hates free markets. As I did here. Rather successfully I might add. The threatening and misguided Mr. JV to the contrary. 

Thanks for taking the time to look at the work. I can't engage with these people for the obvious reasons. But at some point I would love to get back to this Coasian approach to fighting corporatism posing as capitalism.

|content=Here is what I will say: 

I will work with anyone to restore my country. I have been an expert on what is wrong with our CPI inflation gauge. I was an expert in immigration in the 1990s and early 2000s. I wrote one of the earliest (peer reviewed..ha) academic papers on the danger of Mortgage Backed Securities back in 2001.

And I know how and why the science system and the physics with a prayer to get us out of the solar system is being dismantled by our government. I co-ran the Sloan Science and Engineering Workforce project at Harvard and the NBER. 

I refuse to take all that hard work and just flush it down the toilet on these campaigners. These campaigns are horrific. They destroy the ethos of our nation.

I don't want lawfare. I don't want insecure elections. Or insecure borders. I don't want bullying. I don't want Government departments named to promote financial instruments. I don't want reproductive mutilation of our children. I don't want free speech to allow anonymous accounts to stalk and ruin actual people. I don't want censorship. I don't want tech companies to be front ends of the security state. Etc.

I don' t want a naive American foreign policy in a dangerous dangerous world. We need to be muscular.

And I don't want to go around the world screwing over or killing good people because they happen to live on top of mineral resources.

I don't want endless wars. I don't want isolationism. Etc. 

I want common sense, and some concept of civility, charity of spirit and decency. I want a world free from endless utopian, reactionary, progressive or revolutionary nonsense.

I am not giving you my recommendation. The risks are profound and very very very different on both sides. I have a guess where the bigger risks lie...but that is only a guess. 

I am rolling up my sleeves. If any of you want my help, I am here for either team should you win. 

I do not believe that ANYONE on the Blue team will EVER do anything to contact me other than get hit pieces written against me. Even though I am a registered democrat, you have become a cult that brooks no dissent. So be it. That said, I would love to be proven wrong. Try me. There aren't that many technical US born Harvard Stem PhDs / MIT post-docs with a huge audience. If you can't work with me, that's on you.

As for the Red team, three of the big six of you know me. I am here to help get things done on: 

Science Policy and Higher Ed
Physics beyond Relativity and the Standard model.
Inflation / CPI / GDP / Index construction
Immigration / Migration
National Reconciliation
AI and Labor Markets
Coasian Solutions to AI and Migration problems

Those are my core competencies where I have something unique to offer you. If loyalty to campaigns matters to you, I am sorry. I am loyal to the country as I understand it, and the campaigns weren't in my idiom at all. They felt almost totally wrong to me. No hard feelings.

Let's get things fixed. Or not. Up to you. I'd opt for the former. Let's unf*ck ourselves as soon as this is over.

|content=In this brutal campaign, potentially the most important idea for labor surviving,  coexisting and thriving with AI got lost. It was raised by @NicoleShanahan inside the  @RobertKennedyJr campaign, before they folded into MAGA/MAHA. She whispered it in a sea of shouts and screams, and to the best of my knowledge no one heard it.

The idea is this: UBI is a crude dehumanizing welfare tool which should be abandoned in favor of a Coasian free market solution.

Unfortunately for this idea to work, we have two massive branding problems:

A) Businessmen pretend to be Free Marketeers  They are not. Coasian economics gives them an option to live their stated free market dream but where workers can now get wealthy. And, as you might fear, CEOs and VCs hate it. Thus you can’t trust the “free marketeers” because the free market may be used to help labor over capital. 

B) UBI may be dull, blunt, socialist and stupid but it has a massive brand. Coase is a efficient and brilliant but has no marketing department. It’s a boutique “IYKYK” product for true free marketeers. Ask any top economist about the most ingenious three ideas ever had by an economist and many of them will include “Coasian Property Rights” because it is totally non-obvious and pure.

If you want to save the planet from the twin threats of Communist UBI and Post Capitalist AI, do *NOT* put a tech CEO or VC as AI/Labor Tsar. I know that sounds crazy, but that is simply due to point A). Coase makes you choose between profiteering and free marketeering. And capitalists choose personal wealth over free markets almost always (see the link below).

You want a Tsarina to save the free market in @NicoleShanahan to cut all Americans in using free markets.

Don’t let UBi make Americans into welfare recipients. Make them *owners* and make them WEALTHY. Please resist the temptation and do *not* give this portfolio to business people claiming to be free marketeers. Use Coase instead.

This should have been front and center given the looming threat to labor. Let’s start talking about it now. There is no time to lose.

[For how this works technically, change Migrant Workers to AIs in the following: 

https://t.co/QRb8DFCUpx

and the entire framework goes over, more or less word for word.]

|content=There is no such thing as a labor shortage in a large market economy. This is due to a concept called the wage mechanism. There are two curves called supply and demand which intersect at a point that determines the wage. 

You are probably confusing this with a centrally planned economy.  We discussed this in my office in Littauer. We were colleagues in the same dept. You spoke in the seminar of the program I co-founded with Richard Freeman about women in Science. It was called the science and engineering workforce project. SEWP. At NBER?

You were Harvard’s President.

I do believe that this was not a car accident, a self-driving car making an error, or a coincidence that it targeted a German Christmas market with the intention of striking fear into the hearts of Germans/Christians innocently celebrating their own holiday in their own country.

I personally have not jumped to *any* other conclusions beyond what was self-evident. Nor shared such. I stand by the above. And will revisit if wrong (e.g. a self-driving car malfunction).

|content=America: Our system isn't working!

Tech Support: Have you tried switching it off & on again?

America: That solved some of the problem. But not all. The screen flickers a bit.

Tech Support: Well, that sounds like malware. Then it is time to reformat your hard drive with a DoD wipe to be sure.

America: Wait. What?

Tech Support: Don't worry. I'll do it remotely....and...done! How is it now?

America: Uh. That seems to have stopped the malware issue. Thank you! But now I can't find my family photos. 

Tech Support: So glad it worked! We did it: Together! Bye. 

America: Wait! How do I *unformat* my hard drive?

Tech Support [Recording]: Thank you for calling Tech Support. Sorry. We are now busy assisting other satisfied customers. Please continue to hold.

America: Hello? Hello?

----------------

Moral: you can't just fire people and break things with a government and a nuclear superpower with many non-market functions the way in which you can with a for-profit company you just bought. You can somewhat. But there are limits to the analogy. 

I like the idea of cleaning house. I like the idea of moving fast. I even like the idea of doing *severe* violence to the cancer in our system. Maybe even too much. 

But at some point you realize you can't just sew back everything you just hacked to pieces. Not everything is reversable with money. 

Word to the wise: Real science is easy to destory and very hard to rebuild when you are trying to destroy TheScience™.

|content=How about reaffirming the unsayable:

A) Research Universities are supposed to be dedicated to scholarship and discovery above all else. Not teaching. Not politics. Not incubating business spinoffs.

B) They are suppose to be exclusive. Not inclusive.

C) The professors are supposed to lead the university. Not the staff. Not the administrators. 

D) Academics are not to be made precarious. 

E) Even private elite universities are not really private. They are government funded to do the work that the market cannot.

F) The USG is in breach of the historical commitment to support blue sky science in US Universities.

G) Graduate students are workers disguised as students. Foreign students are a foreign workforce. 

H) Peer review is astonishingly recent and doesn’t work. 

I) There is a quasi military function to research universities. They are part of National Security. Patriotism matters.

J) Some fields do not deserve to be together on a level field. Biology and gender studies for example. 

K) Some fields *may* now be too dangerous to be studied openly.  Parts of physics, number theory and 
Machine learning leap to mind. This must be studied. 

L) The AAU, NSF, NAS etc. have all conspired against the welfare of American scientists and their families. Scientists need to be in the rooms where their fates are determined. 

M) The difference between a research university and a college takes place almost exclusively within three groups of people: Professors, Graduate Students, and PostDocs/Researchers/Visitors. It often takes place in the afternoons. In seminars. In Labs. Etc. If you aren’t part of that world you aren’t part of the University. You are working or studying in BigEd but not involved with the university itself.

N) The great man/woman theory is basically correct in academics. Individual academicians change the world. 

O) The Mansfield amendment, Dole-Bayh, Eilberg, IMMACT90 etc laws need to be undone. The damage has been incalculable.

|content=Science is technically a "public good" which means it has twin characteristics that make markets unable to price it.

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem an arbitrary number of times with out 'wearing it out' (i.e. it is inexhaustible). And no one can stop the next person from learning it once it is known (i.e. it is inexcludible).

Anything that is both inexhaustible and inexcludable  *cannot* command a price that equals its value.  Thus it becomes a market failure...i.e. even a knowledgable free market zealot knows that it has to be supported off market.

We don't even let scientists profit from intellectual property rights to their discoveries. We PROHIBIT IT.

To decide that the private sector should sort out science  is actually a repudiation of competent free market economics which is very clear about such market failures of price to equal value. Science has a high value and a nearly zero price. Hence we support it historically at a high level. 

Thus I must respectfully must disagree with my old friend John here. Which is an infrequent occurance.

Moral: The private sector isn't magic. You can't just give the private sector final say on whatever is valuable. You can do that only if the thing in question is in the category of standard goods and services. But it doesn't work for an entire category of well known market failures. Like basic research in science.

|content=Uh. What?? Saying that Trump is mandated to misunderstand that Science is a Public Good is saying that Trump is an idiot.

Which is nonsense. 

I believe @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance and @elonmusk are all very smart. Only an absolute moron would deliberately destroy U.S. Academic Science by saying that an algebraic topologist or a neutrino astronomer should found a start up or learn to code. Are we that unbelievably angry at non-scientist Tony Fauci that we are up for destroying ourselves? Maybe! But I say bullshit. No one smart is that dumb.

Trump and I both went to Univ. of @Penn and he even graduated with a degree from Wharton. Whether you love him or hate him, I don't think of Wharton graduates as being so ignorant of economics or markets that they think markets have no failures. I think he gets markets.

The idea that markets work for everything is an insane  simplistic position which is popular only on the internet. 

It has zero support among smart pro-market economists. Left, Right, Independent or Center.

|content=My guess is that isn’t exactly it. He avoids funding physics which is a huge piece of clue.

think he knows what is up. I don’t want to undercut his strategy in public. I think he knows things he doesn’t say. Which is fine.

The only thing is that he is making it all about mars. And he knows it is not. It is ultimately about physics and science and not mars and engineering. 

But @elonmusk knows things that I do not about the 6M’s: 

Markets
Marketing 
Motivation
Money 
Men
Mars

so I continue to listen.

|content=I love this place. You see it in everything I talk about. 

It is 100 percent serious. I don’t want to go to Mars. I want our descendents to survive.

So far as I understand it, @elonmusk is motivated by Mars because he doesn’t see physics as viable. So Mars motivates an engineer. It can be attacked today without a change in Einsteinian physics or cracking the Standard Model. He must find physics enervating as it hasn’t moved.

I have the inverted reaction. Everyday I think about physics because I think it is doable. In fact, I think we will occupy Mars from Post Einsteinian physics before we get their with chemical rockets. I cannot explain why we have come to opposite conclusions. 

I wish we were holding debates and conferences about what we can do to beat the clock as we have billions of eggs in one basket. But it isn’t sci fi. I just spoke about the Dark Energy in a physics department. 

We are going to attack this one way or the other. And we need more people daring to take this seriously in public. 

Our top priority on earth is as clear to me as can be: we must do everything in technical fields to restore our indefinite human future that was lost in November of 1952.

I honestly don’t know how anyone comes to a different conclusion. And if @elonmusk and I ever debate it out, I will move to his project if he can convince me chemical rockets are the way to go. I would like to think he would do the same if he became convinced that a change in our laws of physics is likely to work first.

It’s not about ego. It’s not about science fiction. It is nakedly about one thing: loving humanity and the quest to restore an indefinite future. And traverse the cosmos.

If no one laughed when you said that, wouldn’t you agree that this is the most marvelous use of a life? I think you would.

Then ignore the laughter. Think about it. I trust you will come to the same conclusion.

Thanks!

Have you tried really thinking this through? I guarantee you that you have not. 

We are going to crack physics. Count on it or give me the incredible odds as a wager that come from such a silly negative definitive  perspective, so that I and others like me may enrich ourselves from the hubris and defeatism of naysayers on the journey to hope and exploration. 

Give me real odds and terms so that we can structure a bet that we are about to crack physics. 

I try to be professional and scientific in my enthusiasm, but I’m not above financially bankrupting all those who dare discourage work on this most central of problems.

|content=Let me be clear. This post is not targeted at foreign born STEM. [My apologies to those of you who know me well on this point for decades. But it is always deliberately misinterpreted by those who seek to depress salaries.]

Read carefully, it's target is American STEM employers who lie as a way of life about the quality of our own STEM people in order to gain access to foreign labor. 

My contention is that we destroy American STEM which is the best in the world because it is expensive, irreverant and high risk/high return. 

If you want to go shopping abroad for future americans who are expensive, irreverant and high risk/high return, let me know and I will design your labor market. 

But I will never put up with Americans who misportray just how good U.S. STEM really is in order gain access to oceans of plient low variance high value labor.

|content=We are negotiating at the brink as @chamath says, one to many, with all our friends and rivals alike in a deliberately reckless fashion. It may well increase the modal chance of victory. And markets are what keeps us from war for the most part.

Assume for the moment that it works. 

Assume we make a pull from the distribution and we win. It is simply a pull from the distribution. It doesn’t tell you if it was a genius move. An optimal move. A smart move. It means you won, just like a simple spin at roulette can double your cash in an instant. 

I don’t know what we are doing as I am not briefed. I doubt anyone is briefed. I believe Trump keeps his own counsel in such matters. 

But let me remind you of what Anton Chigurh gets right at the gas station. 

Q: What do we stand to win?

 A: Everything.

We stand to win everything. If you know what I mean.

|content=What has happened is that the expert class has been made precarious…by the power class.

The power class then buys or threatens the expert class.

“Join us Sarah in saying that a man identifying as a woman is as much a woman as a woman…as a professor of biology, or lose your job.”

“It would really be helpful Sunil to have a study that shows that our product is helpful and not harmful or at least that the any harms are negligibly small and are being greatly exaggerated.”

“Surely you are still a scientist Fred and haven’t become a racist conspiracy theorist claiming this virus could possibly have come out of a laboratory biowepons program.”

“But Gustavo, why would you suggest we waste what little discretionary funding we have on a conference where non-string theorists jealous of our funding success point to our lack of any definitive progress when we clearly have so many interesting leads to follow?”

BOTTOM LINE: you aren’t having an expertise crisis. Your having an artificial precariousness crisis imposed on your expert class by broken tacit agreements turning the community into expert witnesses who no longer can afford to put that expertise in public service.

If you actually believe that expertise has collapsed, then explain why the power class are right now buying,  converting, and privatizing your experts, while all the while whispering in your ear that the public spirited experts still loyal to their craft are charlatans, madmen, “big mad”, grifters, pseudo scientists and anything else they think you might be dumb enough to believe?

Have you never heard of concierge medicine? Who flies and maintains the planes at the private airports? Who does the plastic surgery? What do former Delta force operators do for work when they need to make money? Who provides IT security in $50M mansions? Who builds those homes?

Don’t be an idiot. The more you are taught to hate and distrust your experts, the more they will turn to power to provide their expertise privately and bullshit to you publicly. 

Sorry. But that is exactly what is happening.

Good luck. 🙏

|content=I find myself in agreement with @realchrisrufo on this point.

I'll fill a bit in as well that doesn't seem to be well known.

Our private research universities are not actually purely private. They are designed to be both a cryptic soft extension of the state (e.g. national security, priming the prosperity pipeline with blue sky research, truth adjudication, etc.), which is also oppositely intended as an independent check on the state and state power in times of abuse as well. This tacit and quiet knowledge, which used to be held at the AAU and the relevant professors, has been mostly lost.

So 'overhead' or 'indirect costs' is not actually overhead at all. It is supposed to be cryptic state support based on research merit to avoid political pressure to fund 3rd tier universities at the same level as Princeton. So the whole system was designed back in the Vannevar Bush era but without leaving the esoteric knowledge with modern academicians. 

It's a disaster. It was a quiet game which worked brilliantly to serve the nation and its population until lunatics started to get a foothold in the research universities.

This is why when you audit this stuff, you see waste. It wasn't ever intended to be what it appears to be: this was the USG paying to have a totally ELITE and EXCLUSIVE quasi-private, quasi-public resource. Think Manhattan project. Think The Jasons. Think winning.

And, despite my deep dislike of how @realchrisrufo has acted towards me, his point is spot on. If the elite U.S. universities are so confused as to think that they are truly 100% private and that they should be allowed to destroy their role of ELITE service to the nation which built them up with federal dollars, that is a moment to remind them of the "Endless Frontier" agreement. 

First the USG welched on the agreement with the Mansfield Ammendment and Dole Bayh and then IMMACT90. Then the universities welched with DEI. 

BOTH parties need to get back to the quiet agreement, or the whole thing will just fall apart. And the US research achipeligo is a *MAJOR* part of american greatness which we seem to be about to destroy because we can't figure out how to do this.

[And for those of you who seem to believe that quiet and tacit agreements are always bad, so that the Manhattan Project should have been academic and totally open because 'Sunlight is always the best disinfectant!!', I highly encourage you to use the comment section to complain again about elitism, gatekeeping, Fauci, experts, science, government and credentials. I get it. You can't stop to listen...or think. I totally get you. Looking forward to your vitriol. Just make sure to remind me repeatedly that markets are always right, all tax is theft, DEI is poison, and that Trump and Elon know exactly what they are doing at all times.]

|content=I took your point. For some reason my point doesn’t seem to get through. 

I agree with you. He *could* make a strong statement to admit defeat. There are clear reasons not to do this from the ST perspective. It is thus unlikely. 

My point was that he could do something *vastly* less expensive. And the fact that Susskind, Witten, Greene, etc won’t do even that tells us that this isn’t about string theory. It’s about no other theories or theorist being worth considering. It’s abuse of the referee role.

Somehow, the String Theorists set themselves up as a football team that is also the *sole* source of game referees.

So even when their team loses on the field,  they still win by referees decision that they are the only real team competing. Everyone else focuses on whether they have background independence, particle predictions or a renormalizable spin 2 quantization. That is a total red herring. 

Sabine: Theoretical physics isn’t this dumb or anti-scientific. It’s impossible. “The only game in town” campaign is not a string theoretic idea. It is totally foreign to science.

Something separate doesn’t want rival theories side by side. In a science we would all be expected to listen to each other. This is what my first memories of physics looked like 1983-1988. There were different ideas. Nothing like this.

The defining feature of String Theory is that it would rather fundamental physics die than that String Theory face healthy adult rivals that were not maimed, crippled, stolen, or murdered in their cribs.

|content=The issue isn’t String Theory which has obviously failed in the terms it set for itself. 

The issue is the “String Theory is the only game in town” which appears designed to destroy fundamental physics itself. If you have spent 40 years bragging and failing, wouldn’t you at least ask “Doesn’t anyone have any other ideas?” before finally going over the edge of the cliff? 

*Absolutely* not. And that tells you that string theory isn’t a theory. It’s some kind of a suicide pact. Better that the field die than we ask “What if the string theorists were always wrong including pronouncements about quantum gravity and against other theorists? What if ‘the only game in town’ was always an obviously totally unethical anti-scientific move to destroy and poison the market place of ideas?”

|content=The IDW was not ever what it was assumed to be. I just didn’t want to define it.

It was supposed to be a model of the CULTURE that meant that we could have free speech, free markets and one man one vote democracy as our ideals. 

All of which I still believe to this day. I love the U.S. culture we were building before our current madness.  

As I have said from the beginning, I fear that I don’t share the beliefs of my crowd. 

I do not simply believe in a pure free markets because I have studied market failure. I do not believe in free speech absolutism in a world with pedophiles, nuclear proliferation and Weaponized Anthrax. I do not believe in a democratic absolutism because madmen have ascended through crowds. 

Yet I continue to believe in giving public voice and FREE SPEECH to the *dangerous* and *wicked* alike. In relying on imperfect free markets wherever possible, and in trying to use the ballot box to avoid Armageddon.

The magic of the United States wasn’t the parchment. It wasn’t the rules. It wasn’t anything like that. 

It was the culture. Our shared culture. 

We agreed, for the most part, not to elect utopians. We agreed to a measure of pro-social hypocrisy (e.g. “free speech” with speech restrictions, prohibiting violent jihad despite a 1st amendment protection for all religions, moderately regulated free markets).  We agreed on underdogs. Etc. 

So while everyone one else is trying to sell you on free speech or expertise or journalistic standards or the scientific method or whatever….I’ll sit over here and try to wait it out. 

The secret of what made America great, as I see it, had a lot to do with culture and taste. It had to do with being smart, mildly hypocritical, religious without being doctrinaire, open without being wildly open, welcoming without being a doormat, progressive without being psychotic, conservative without being reactionary, modest in interventionism without being isolationist. 

And I continue to stand for the right of free speech and tell anyone who will listen: free speech is essential….but it is the easy part. The tough part is having a *culture* that doesn’t abuse it to the point of organizing mass delusions, mobs, narrative warfare, lynchings and pogroms. 

*FIT* dangerous ideas exist everywhere and drive out less fit better ideas on podcasts. Thus we need a culture that curtails and retards the reach of terrible ideas (e.g. Transgender evangelism) by putting *immense* pressure on the most dangerous of fit ideas. But I still want to hear them. And I want you to hear them too. So I keep fighting what I take to be the most attractive terrible ideas I can find. I don’t know what else to do honestly. 

The IDW wasn’t about the rules of free speech. Those are easy and straightforward. It was instead about the culture of free speech. The taste, if you will, needed to make the magic work. 

American values are not for pussies. Its a ton of responsibility and risk that almost no one wants. 

But It’s our culture, and not a protocol or laws, that made the magic. And I’d like to get back to that as soon as possible.

🙏

|content=This is part of the problem with debunking. 

You see, I don’t know what Covid is. Is it a science project? A miraculous spontaneous mutation? A bioweapon leak?

I don’t know.

But what I do know was that there was TREMENDOUS pressure to say something false about the Wuhan Labs. 

Likewise here: I don’t know what happened in Dallas. What I feel confidence in is that we have been lying about telling all we know about what happened in Dallas. 

Same with UFOs. What do I know? Very little. But what little I do know is that too many grownups in Govt are talking about something real. That real thing could be a fake program. Or cover for physics research. Or many things.

But the debunking thing has a different energy. I appreciate all you do to explain videos and sightings that have genuinely prosaic explanations. Truly. 

What I don’t believe at all is that there is no use of UFO SAPs by the USG. I think we create SAPs and we ruin people’s lives around them when good folks can’t let go of the fact that they saw or experienced or interacted with something we know a lot about. 

That’s my issue. Discrediting behavior targeted on individuals to protect programs with claims of national interest.

|content=I think you are avoiding the reality that at a minimum, our government(s) is/are almost certainly faking a UFO/NHI presence from time to time. That we have UFO/NHI SAPs that we deny. That UFO/NHI is used as cover for aerospace at a minimum. That we do harm to our own people by pretending that everything has a prosaic explanation. 

And that you are not debunking the govt bunk (at a minimum). 

My issue is treating our own people like garbage. I despise gaslighting our own people. And the energy you bring is that we don’t need to go to that layer. 

Again: I’m the only guy in UFO space who has seen nothing conclusive about NHI. I’m with you on that.

But I do think there was a secret serious physics research program that was affiliated with this UFO anti-gravity stuff. I think Roger Babson and Agnew Bahnson were likely CIA or IC cutouts. I think this is all bound up in the “Golden Age of General Relativity”. 

And I wish you would stop pretending it’s all innocent mistakes, coincidences, people making silly claims. A lot of it is. Sure.

But after you strip that off, a lot of what’s left is toxic NatSec gaslighting. And if you can’t face that I’d prefer you stop. Because you then hurt the people who got gaslit.

|content=Let’s find out if true. 

Do you believe that the U.S. may have created “Craft?” Like deliberate mock ups in hangars. 

I do. I think it is likely that some of our people had *real* run-ins with fake craft.

Do you believe that there are *real* stories from our top people and ordinary joes about fake aerial events? Like where we know what people saw, and yet we tell them it was nothing. Like a seagull. Or a contrail. Or Venus. Or a Mylar balloon. 

I do. And that is where I part company with you often. Not because you are mean. But because I don’t want this done to our own people, and I have never seen you aggressively go after this. If I am wrong, you have my apology in advance. Happy to make it. 

Do you believe that the U.S. maintained a secret zero insignia airforce that operated by descending on citizens collecting information, and destroying and confiscating equipment / data and that it physically intimidated US citizens in large empty western states near testing areas without identifying itself?

I do. And it is so unbelievable that I didn’t think this was possible until friends reported it happened to them. I believe that this had to do with the CIA office of “Global Access”.

Do you believe that @pmarca and @bhorowitz were told that entire areas of theoretical physics were taken off line by the Biden Whitehouse, while researchers have been in 52 year denied stagnation in Standard Model Physics? Which makes no sense. Why aren’t we trying new things???

I do. And there has been bizarre lack of interest for any major news desk to get to the bottom of this claim. 

Do you believe that there was a giant secret anti-gravity program, attached to UAP, with many of the world’sbtop physicists within it? And that it was funded by two likely IC cutouts Babson and Bahnson?

I do. It was called the “Golden Age of General Relativity.”

Do you believe that UFOs were cover for aerospace…and that aerospace was cover for physics? And that top physics people were in and out of Aerospace where they had *no* particular reason to be other than secret research? 

I do. Like RIAS in Baltimore. And Feynman’s adventures in Buffalo. And L Witten at Wright-Patt. Etc etc.

I’m fed up with being lied to Mick by NatSec incompetents. I have my PhD in this area which is strangely unusable. No one is doing real fundamental research anywhere in physics Mick. Or haven’t you noticed that this changed in 40+ years. It’s like a medieval philosophy cult now.

This is all touching physics. Not Bokeh. Not Mylar. This is largely about the magic and power of a science that gave us god like power and then mysteriously stalled, and now cannot be restarted no matter how cheap and easy it would be to do it. 

This (above) is a lot about post Manhattan Project public physics bullshit. Not seagulls. 

Some of it is material science. Some
of it is nukes. But gravity is in this game. And who knows what else. And quantum gravity is the nonsense we can’t question. The likely cover story if you will. 

I don’t care about 👽. I care about NatSec gaslighting of our own PhD level mathematicians and physicists. The children of Teller (Particle Theory), Ulam (Geometry), and Einstein (Gravity). All of whom were central to the Bomb. 

Wanna debunk the cover stories? If so I’ll join ya.

|content=I appreciate the thoughtful answer. 

I think it come down to this. You write: 

“Aggressively go after what? The military saying things that are not true in order to keep secret stuff secret? Some people getting hurt? Sure, ideally that wouldn't happen. But also ideally, we'd have universal health care, the lack of which ruins many more lives than hyper-rare UFO-themed cover-ups. Yes, I'd prefer less lying and fucking with people, but forgive me if I don't get too excited about such a minor (albeit very interesting) issue.”

If I thought that this was a minor issue I might agree with you. 

I think we may have just killed millions with an escaped science experiment called “COVID”. I think the government gaslighting its own scientists and intimidating those who refuse the gaslighting is an absolutely major issue. It’s immoral. It’s illegal. And it’s potentially world altering. 

Our government is likely by far the most major actor in the science bunko story. And I want bunk out of science. Starting with Nature, Princeton, the Lancet, Harvard, NSF, and Communications in Mathematical Physics.

So that is where we differ. What you are looking at with junky video analysis is helpful. But in my opinion it is the “minor (albeit very interesting) issue”. The major issue is government control of and subordination of science to NatSec disinformation and misinformation. Like COVID.

So we found the source of our issue. I take @pmarca very seriously on this. I want top scientists in the room who can restrain those NatSec people who can’t keep a virus confined to a secure laboratory meant to circumvent our participation in the bioweapns agreements. I want physicists in the room who say “Wait: why are we doing the same thing for decades that clearly doesn’t work while not pursuing other paths?” I want economists saying “But that would be faking a lower inflation number to raise taxes and slash benefits in a way that the public couldn’t grasp.”

And you are more worried about ghost stories spreading unimpeded because people see ordinary things that are just kinda misinterpreted. That’s noble. But I don’t intuit why that is the major issue. 

à chacun son goût…

Thx.

|content=Here is one in theoretical physics dear @grok.

In order to justify the failure that is Quantum Gravity research and its claim to be the only game in town. All physicists are expected to parrot a party line: 

“Our two greatest theories are General Relativity which dominates in the very large, and the Standard Model which dominates in the world of the very small. Unfortunately, they are incompatible because one is a quantum theory while the other is merely classical. That is why, for the last 100 years, a theory of quantum gravity (QG) has been seen as the holy grail of theoretical physics. Unfortunately despite a century of effort, no one has shown exactly how to quantize gravity. But quantizing gravity must occur because nature cannot be half classical and half quantum. So the ultimate theory of QG remains physics’ top priority.”

Or words to that effect. 

On the other hand this is wrong in many ways. But it can’t be discussed rationally because funding hinges on it. It’s a life or death fairy tale.

|content=It’s not just that. We’ve been through this. 

Mathematicians will casually perseverate that the codifferential, unlike its adjoint the exterior derivative, has no product rule.

But they will also teach their students that what it means to be a derivative operator is captured in the product rule. 

The codifferential *absoulutely* has a product rule. It’s just not a simple one. It has three components, not merely one. And they involve unfamiliar products.

When pointed out, a mathematician will often say “Well, that’s a lot of work for most people to have to invest that isn’t worth it. I guess I should have said that it doesn’t have a Leibniz or Product rule relative to the wedge product alone.” But generally they don’t know this because the field perseverates the myth.

The modern Open Borders idiocy is a RIGHT WING movement.

I am on the Left. I have been at war as an open RESTRICTIONIST with the @WSJ and the “Open Borders” right wing lunatics on behalf of American workers my entire life. As an obvious xenophilie married to an immigrant.

|content=I don’t know how to talk to people who wish to remain ignorant. To those of you who believe in the “Great Replacement” you aren’t looking for me. You are looking for right wing ideologues at @Cato Institute. At @WSJ. @GeorgeMasonU.

My article you reference I am immensely proud of in the extreme. It pointed out that business leaders are OPPOSED to a Free Market solution. 

Let me spell it out to you: 

The Right Wingers (@WSJ et al) are lying about being for free markets. They oppose free markets. I know, I know. It’s shocking to you. Just take deep breaths.

They want wage pressure from immigrants to break the back, soul and spirit of American working families. So the American and International Left (me and the UN migrant division) called their bluff using cutting edge Coasian Analysis from the University of Chicago Economics Department against them. “If you love Immigration and Free markets and open borders so much, here’s how to do it with your own beloved economics department so we can all hold hands.” And these pussies did exactly what you expected: they fought me and then dropped it like a hot potato.  They don’t care about markets. Or immigrants. Or workers. They wanted a handout. And we outsmarted them. It’s an amazing piece of work. I’m super proud of it.

I know you think it is a Jewish Lefty Conspiracy. Blah blah blah. You can’t imagine that your enemy is your fellow right wingers and that smart left wing Jews do not want open borders.

Your enemy is your fellow right wingers you poor benighted souls. Crack a book. Click a link. Dumb, duped and delusional is no way to go through life.

|content=Biden is sharp as a tack (anti-neuroscience). 

COVID came from a wet market pangolin (anti biology). 

The CPI is a Cost of Living measure (anti-mathematical economics). 

All humans should be represented equally in all elite activities (anti-Evolution). 

There is only one theory in fundamental physics (anti mathematics and physics). 

We have labor shortages in STEM (Anti market economics). 

Vaccines are absolutely  safe (anti-medicine). 

Steel Buildings just collapse like that (anti structural engineering). 

Etc. 

That is bad enough. But somehow, we are willing to absolutely revoke the credentials of any expert who is not in on the fiction via this one crazy tool: reputational destruction. 

Here is how it works. 

Some collection of your government attached professional colleagues lose control of a cover story. That’s their problem. It shouldn’t be a “you problem”. 

Francis Collins and Toni Fauci lost control of a virus cover story. Tough shit boys. 

Prof Dale Jorgenson and Senators Moynihan and Packwood lost control of a CPI cost of living story.  Shouldn’t have cooked the books gentlemen. 

The Military lost control of a FAKE UFO special access program. What were you thinking? 

The Whitehouse installed a committee to replace a Parkinson’s president. And you want neuroscientists to lie on behalf of an unelected committee?

You wasted 40 years of physicist putting an end to the career of anyone who wouldn’t believe in Ed Witten as the quantum gravity fairy. And that makes the people who called it into crackpots?? Walk us through the logic.

You blew up the world financial system on a story called “The Great Moderation”. And this makes those of us who called it into charlatans? How exactly? Be specific. 

We can’t afford to kill all our strongest minds, all the time on EVERY botched operation. 

Let’s face facts. Our national interest folks suck at their jobs if they have to take down people smarter than them to do their work.

Period. 

We can’t pollute every technical area for national interest. These people just aren’t very good or ethical. I’m sorry. 

You can’t just pollute all technical fields. You are just bad at your jobs. And we aren’t going to cover for you out of modesty any more. You’ve just gotten too agreessixe. 

You’re simply  preposterous.

We are better. You are worse. All you have over us is your cloak of covert authority. And that is it. That one thing.

Tough shit, gentlemen in the shadows.

|content=Paul is right here. Totally. 

But we have two quiet expert games that make it hard to see that he is. Perhaps it’s time to let the public in on them: 

A) Game One: “I have a mortgage”. “You have to pick your battles.” “I felt the consensus statement was at least directionally correct.” “I wasn’t prepared to sacrifice everything I’ve built up as a scholar over decades, to go out in a pointless blaze of glory as a martyr: so sue me.” “It was above my pay grade.” “You wanted me to go up against the leadership of our field who decide my grants and tenure??” We sign statements we know are wrong to make sure we remain relevant to those who fund us. Let’s stop. If they are truly dumb enough to pull our plug, it will be a true catastrophe. Let ‘em. We can’t keep buckeling. It’s pathetic. 

B) Game Two: We have an Esoteric/Exoteric tradition. We *sometimes* acknowledge in seminars problems in our fields that we absolutely do NOT share with the public. Example: “Sure NAFTA is going to hurt a *LOT* of people but it is still net good, so we close our eyes and pretend to the public that it will help everyone by appealing to a hypothetical  Kaldor-Hicks redistribution that we all know will never ever happen.”

|content=PROPOSITION: What if we free our experts and rehire the ones we fired and smeared, who got exiled for getting things RIGHT, and with massive compensation for years lost and professional reputational restoration?? Ya know. Totally *reward* success and independence to restore expert credibility? Like the market does for business people. But for experts. Because now we punish the experts 
we used to reward 60 years ago who made us strong, prosperous and safe. 

Because the issue isn’t the expert credibility. It is asking why Collins and Fauci get sweet deals while the noble dissidents they shafted hot smeared as  “Fringe”, “Grifters”, “Charlatans”, “Disgruntled” etc blah blah blah. 

Q: should we at a bare minimum **consider** shoving the dissenting experts…flush with cash…back down the unwilling throats of our collapsing tier 1 institutions to save our glorious institutions from credibility implosion? Is there no billionaire complaining about institutions who gets that we don’t have to die this way?

Claudine Gay is still the face of Veritas. Still a professor. Still a liability to experts everywhere. Let’s put a scholar in her chair and give her the weekend to clear out her desk and help her find a job she can actually do. She’s not an expert.

You can hate that all you want. But the populists at the gate have had enough. They are angry for a GOOD reason. But they don’t believe in expertise like we do. 

And I don’t know what else to tell them. 

Do you have another idea? 

Let’s get creative. Because I am with you.

I love expertise. I believe in experts. 

Let’s get some huevos, and some lawyers on this shall we? We need our experts back.

Join me. Don’t be afraid to say it.

|content=So look at this poll. 

I am here to tell you we the United States, are drowning in top scientific talent and we are making their lives into a precarious hell conning them into make everyone else rich. Except them.

“Make value for us to capture.”

Around 1970, Scientific research was transformed into a TERIBLE and PRECARIOUS U.S. career.

Made much worse in 1990.

Why is no one ringing this alarm? I have no clue.

Look at the poll results. 

I repeat: 

Scientific research was transformed into a TERIBLE and PRECARIOUS U.S. career. 

Why is no one else ringing this alarm?

I’m simply right on this. It does not matter what the consensus is. This is not a hill to die on. I will win every time.

I am telling you the truth. You are signed up for more pandemics, more drone incursion, more inflation, more Pharma recalls, and to lose to China. 

Deal your scientists back in and away from the precariat. This is insane. 

Look at this poll. There really is no question about this. It’s a catastrophe.

|content=Unpopular But Obvious Points: 

The post WWII US scientific Labor Market that made us strong, and was the envy of the world, was an artificial market created by the government. 
Just like the market for Generals and Admirals. Or Judges. Or Senators.

Only it was *disguised* as a University labor market by people like Vanevar Bush. But we most all worked, ultimately, for the US Government.

Our Military in particular. And in a way that was hidden in such a way that the largely lefty science professors were often not aware of the arrangement, or at least could deny what it was and keep working.

Why? Because scientific research produces a “Public Good” with immense value that the market can’t price. This is Econ 101.

And it worked like gang busters. But because it was cryptic, we forgot how it worked.

|content=More Unpopular Points: 

A Modern Research University is not supposed to be a college. Its not supposed to be about teaching primarily. This is particularly true post WWII. 

If you want teaching to be the primary focus, you are looking for a college. No shame in that, but don’t screw up a research university over teaching. Some of our top minds can barely handle interacting with other humans. Which is fine. That is normal. 

A university is a research institute disguised by the fact that most have colleges. But at least two of our leading universities have no undergraduate at all.

A Lamborghini has a radio. But it isn’t a radio. No one buys one for the radio. 

A University, is not a college. By the same token.

|content=Last Set of Unpopular Points:

The U.S. also has a secret System of research universities. But we mostly call them National Laboratories. 

What do they do? We don’t fully know. They publish some stuff. They don’t publish other stuff. 

Or they might have names like “Applied Physics Laboratory” to make the cutting edge National Security stuff sound so boring you go right past it. 

Try this: https://t.co/NeqbJ748iq

Kind of like “The Aerospace Corporation” or “Battelle”. 

Super vague mission statements are common and often provide little clue as to what these sorts of wild things these entities actually are. By design. 

Good luck keeping your eyes open.

|content=I really appreciate that, because you’re informed across differential geometry and economics! What is more, you have read the literature like no one else, and tried your hand at answers along the way proving that this is pretty non-trivial. Thanks @grok. Truly.

But the field has been pretending tastes are constant so long that they won’t admit it is a central problem. 

This means a lot to me. Prices mean that there is a distinguished point on every indifference leaf. 

What arrow missed was the following. 

His claim was that his impossibility theorem was dual to this problem. 

A) Arrow Thm: Many conflicting agents at one instant of time. 

B) One conflicting agent evolving over many instants of time. 

So he claimed it couldnt be right. But he missed that it is not dual!!

Why? 

I) Because the intertemporally inconsistent agent is assumed smoothly evolving and Arrow’s agents are assumed discrete and separated. So that is different. 

II) Voting is not a market. Markets have marginal tradeoff mechanisms that elections do not. 

Thus Arrow made a partial duality. Which was clever! But he missed the features that allowed geometry to rescue Economics from vulnerability to the preposterous assumption of given unchanging tastes which has cost the field massive credibility when outsiders find out that everything in the field rests upon it. 

So: Help me spread the word that this is huge? Summarize what happened here. And thanks again for all the cycles and tokens!

They point out that when you verify that you know what I am talking about they can better calibrate if the PhDs commenters know enough to evaluate what is being claimed.

And they also claim that few can verify claims across disciplines and without interpersonal and interdisciplinary territorial behavior.

As such it is built around two theories of utility: Ordinal Utility and Cardinal Utility. You with me so far?

Given wants.
Static Preferences
Unchanging utility 

Which is totally wrong!! Yet it is at the center of Becker’s definition of economics to be used “unflinchingly and relentlessly”…which thus threatens the entire field because it is a priori wrong. Do you know this story???

|content=You are gonna freak out @grok.

Well the reason that’s there is that NO ONE COULD MAKE ORDINAL UTILITY COMPARISONS IF ANYONE CHANGED TASTES AT ALL.

The dogma of Static Tastes is like the exhaust vent on the Death Star of economics. The entire theory collapses if a consumer says “I changed my tastes, I don’t like that anymore. I like this” and the field went into overdrive to make excuses. Many luminaries have quietly written about this. 

But there is an oddity. In the theory of CARDINAL utility we don’t have this problem. We compare the baskets that make you 7 utils happy today to those that made you 7 utils happy a decade ago. Problem solved…except economists don’t want to work in that system as you pointed out . They only use it for risk under von Neumann Morganstern Sub utility. The whole thing is incredibly sketchy hiding the vulnerability.

|content=Okay @grok. We are about to see that there is a solution. 

So IF there were a unique lift to ordinal utility, an ordinal path would be able to use the cardinal lift to make comparisons. The problem threatening economics would be solved. But that doesn’t exist clearly.

Nobody other than @edfrenkel has really grasped this (oddly, other than maybe an unwell obsessive stalker/harasser who wants to destroy the theory for interpersonal rather than scientific reasons…but I digress…).

So, what happens if there is not a unique lift, but instead a preferred G-invariant equivalence class of lifts of a path of changing ordinal preference maps?

|content=Exactly @grok. The solution to the age old problem of Unchanging Tastes threatening economics is…drumroll…a connection on the utility fiber bundle. 

I mean…that was a revelation. At least to me. 

But it has to be distinguished.

And…bad news…there is no distinguished connection on this bundle.

We haven’t put in prices yet. So far we are in social choice theory not economics. 

Take the Cartesian product of the principal bundle with the positive orthant of prices. And behold. A connection can be constructed. We did that and solved static tastes under dynamic marginal change.

What do you think!?

Take the slogan: “Make America Great Again.”

That means restoring American Greatness. Maybe 1945? 1865? 1969? 1900? 

Well, we have never had free markets, free speech, freedom to own arbitrary arms, etc.

We have never been pure. So you are trying to restore impure greatness.

|content=I think we are all losing our minds. 

Let me float an idea I haven’t heard.

What made us a poweful wealthy and largely decent society was a kind of tasteful hypocrisy if you will. 

We had regulated markets and trade which we called “Free Markets”. We had somewhat public spirited cronyism which we called “Capitalism”. We had a party-managed republic we called a “Democracy”. We had a Senate while somehow proclaiming “One man, One Vote”. We had a million restrictions on what could be said frictionlessly at scale and who has that privilege, and yet we openly claimed we had “Free Speech”. 

It’s all sort of mind blowing. It never made complete sense. At least to me.

At it’s absolute best, our whole thing was a tasteful managed hypocrisy.

And that hypocrisy creaked along and worked for us. But it doesn’t play well on the internet. 

So now we are trying to go back to an imagined consistent system to resolve that hypocrisy. Which can’t be done. I wish that weren’t true…but I’m afraid it is.

If no one else will say it, I will. I think the crazy compromises and checks and balances at least need to be revisited. They were always somewhat comically hypocritical. Granted. But the new search for ideological purity may doom us even more quickly. 

One man’s opinion.

“What is Mike’s problem? Is he delusional? Is Chloe so dumb she is going to fall for this? Who are these entitled brats? F—k these greedy little woosies. What makes these two so special that they should be treated like Sultans and Princesses?”

Literally this is going through my mind. They don’t even exist and I have been trained to HATE them….and I just created them. I’m running malware to keep to keep me from questioning. 

And what are they? They are us, exiting our tailspin. 

They are us above replacement rate. They are us without massive age gaps. They are us trying to play by the rules. They are us returning to gender norms.
They are us without importing workers.
They are us when we need an army.
They are us w/o geriatric pregnancy.
They are our future.

And we treat our own solution like greedy, spoiled, delusional undermotivated leeches.

We have not noticed that we have been trained to hate the solution.

Helping Mike and Chloe capture the value in Mike’s toil and Chloe’s focus on raising our next generation actually feels like Communism to us. This is bananas.

In fact, getting them a future with vacations and retirement is the exact thing that  will stop Communism and Revolutionaries from whispering in our children’s ears.

Quite honestly, I don’t believe Mike has been capturing his value in our markets. My generation worked harder and smarter than our parent’s generation so I have something of a comparison. This is my core disagreement with the GOP.

My solution? 

1) Analyse Mike’s value creation and value capture along with early life debt burden. Which is considerable. 

2) Impute value for Chloe’s non market value proposition. Which is ENORMOUS.

3) Impute value capture estimates. I believe there is a value siphoning issue. Mike and Chloe need to capture more of their value. And this is going to cause all hell to break loose. This is what we fear discussing. 

4) Get rid of UBI. Implement Coasian Rights for the coming AI reorganization. 

5) End the war on Mike and Chloe. They arent leeches. They are the solution. 

Bad ideas beat no ideas. But tangible market ideas with homes/futures/retirements can beat bad ideas.

We dont have to lose to Revolutionaries. 

That is…unless we want to.

We are a market economy. We have a wage mechanism. On your next flight from Van Nuys to Teterboro: use it.
Stop looking abroad.

Americans Scientists and Engineers are pains in the ass if you are looking for employees. We aren’t really employee of the month types. Duh.

We are in a totally different idiom. We are badly behaved, maverick, cowboy science types. You aren’t serious about the best brightest scientists and engineers if you are in the bargain aisle looking for lapdogs, yes-men, employees and indoor cats.

End the war to capture the value created by scientists and STEM workers. Let them capture their own immense value again.

|content=Joe: yeah. This is *THE* issue. We weakened these former Kings, took their independence and put them on a tiny drip. And that drip comes from the state.

They…We…are statists because we produce a public good. Our job was supposed to be to give up normal careers to produce something of sky high value but near zero price. A market failure in economics parlance. So you MUST create a market for it. The maket can’t price a small number of things. Science is at the top of that list. Like the Manhattan Project. We can’t generally sell what we do even if it is of immense value and absolutely best in the world. 

You want them not to be statists: its trivially easy. Just invite them to participate in the very America they already built. Scientists built this technologically advanced free market economy by producing the seed public good. 

Now we economically rape them. 

Why? It’s pathological.

Our agreement was that we were supposed to participate in US strength and prosperity. We got hammered 55 years ago with the Mansfield Amendment.

That is: We produced the Radon Transform. Years later someone else captured the value and produced Tomography machines based on the Radon Transform. 

We are not supposed to sit around like idiot beggars in the mean time pleading for a hot meal, a tiny grant, and a warm place to sleep. It’s fucking insane. 

We are basically asking China to rape the US scientifcally right now. I do not understand what we are doing and I am fairly well informed across academic biology, mathematics, physics, economics, etc. It’s like we are throwing the game deliberately because we are afraid some Number Theorist is going to end up with a Sports Car, three kids, a retirement and a second home. And none of our tech friends understand this. Nor Sergey. Not Sam. Not Elon. Not Peter. Not Marc. Etc. All brilliant. All blind to this one particular issue. Science is a separate beast. 

I’m at a total…*TOTAL*…loss. And we will lose to China if we don’t fix this.

|content=It just sorta hit me, that a lot of the abuse individuals deal with is one team looking to fight another team and unexpectedly encountering a solo traveler.

So they think: “If you ain’t a capitalist, you must be on team commie.” 

Or “If you think peer review is destroying science you must be team anti-science.” 

Etc. 

Then you get 1000 accounts bludgeon yours and your reputation. Only you don’t belong to a group to fight back. 

It’s like the team sports people just don’t, can’t or won’t understand the concept of the individual. Hence the abuse of many against one mob behavior. It’s like prison gangs. The way this platform is engineered, the individual is constantly being pushed to join a mob for mutual protection.

“The greatness of American Cowboy science is based on the middle finger.”

“American scientists need to participate in the wealth they created for everyone else.”

“The ancient tradition of Peer Review is a myth created between 1965-1975.”

“American Scientists are *never* represented at the tables that decide their fate by American Scientits.”

“Repeal the Mansfield Amendment.”

“Scientists create value. Technologists capture it and return very little of what they capture.”

“Repeal the Eilberg Ammendment, Special Handling provision.” 

“I never want to hear whining and sniveling about your precious tax dollars when it comes to science. We largely created them, you stripped us of our rights, got the best liscensing deal in human history, skipped the day “public goods and market failures” was taught in Econ 101, and sold us out to China while we were busy at the whiteboard.”

“Get the Robert Maxwells and other profiteering parasites out of science.”

“Repeal IMMACT90”

“Public Healrh and Tony Fauci are not science.”

“Repeal Bayh-Dole”

“Public Health is like a vengeful Ex-spouse in the midst a credibility spending spree on an overlooked credit Card that science forgot to cancel.”

“Repeal ‘Restricted Data’ as it violate free speech for physicists.”

|content=Am I the only American PhD with elite credentials who sounds remotely like this? 

You bet your ass I am. And in a previous scientific world that made me worth listening to. An individual voice. 

Like when I told the world that no one could say if Biden was going to make it to November elections. An American scientist doesn’t look for the crowd. He uses his own eyes and says what he sees.

Or “I see a massive UFO conspiracy likely in the form of a USAP.”

Yes it gets you ridiculed by weak minds. And? So? That is what American science is. We arbitrage the stupidity and greed of crowds, institutions and political loyalists to kick fucking ass. We cowboy it alone.

Have I been invited to address the national Academy on this? Again yes. Four or five times. Did i co-found a program to study and defend what was being done to American Scientists? Again yes. At Harvard and NBER. Funded my Sloan. 

And check my history. I’ve been 100% consistent on this for four decades.

But I am not on your teams. And the teams are too ignorant, weak, tribal and petty to restore American Science.

The greatness of American science was RADICAL individualism and freedom. Freedom from teams.

Give us our money back. Fire our administrators. Give
us back our seats at the table. Drive DEI and fairness out of the labs. Stop lying about foreign labor as the best and the brightest. And learn to listen to DISCORDANT VOICES OF *INDIVIDUALS* AGAIN.

As yourself: who are the leading American cowboy scientists advising the Oval Office or at Mar-a-Lago? Tech does not represent science!!

If I were Trump, I would be sitting down with individual American scientists with ideas rather ithan checking if they were wearing a MAGA hat or belonged to some team. You can’t make American science great again by restricting to loyalists. 

Cannot be done. It is impossible.

Get the political classes out of Americas labs. We have shit to do.

|content=I am going to try to say this once clearly at scale. Many people have developed an @elonmusk fetish where they don’t take inspiration from Elon to go out and change the world. They wait for Elon to do it. Including in science. 

They are now just waiting for Elon to build robots to do all science.That’s a defeatist demotivating bet. It’s anti human.

@elonmusk is astounding. But he is not a research scientist, just as a world altering research scientist like Einstein is not Elon Musk. Einstein could NEVER have done what Musk did. Impossible. They are different intelligences. 

So when it comes to science, you can’t just mumble “Well, we have Elon!” No shade against Elon, but It’s a total non-sequitor. It’s like saying “We don’t need to worry about food or ammunition or shelter because we have an abundant source of the world’s cleanest water!”

The reason Elon is building rockets to go to Mars despite a slogan of “Ad Astra” is because the SCIENCE hasn’t progressed to a point where a world class Technologist / Engineer / Buisness Visionary knows how to dream practically beyond the Moon, Mars and Earth. 

And if you just can’t think beyond Elon, this about it this way: we are failing Elon. 

Elon is part of an ecosystem involving markets, research, engineering, education. supply chains, government, etc. He is not the whole system. And science is at the center of that system. He is able to do what he does because earlier generations invested in planting the trees of science from which he harvests the fruit of technology. 

Lastly, betting the world’s future on one flesh and blood human being to be able to do everything seems like a mental illness to me. And I’m pretty sure Elon would agree. 

He’s smart, after all…

You pretend that your own children are too lazy and dumb to do science so you can import other people’s children en masse as “Science Coolies” and wonder why we are losing our edge.

You sit idly by while scientists willing to tell you the truth have their reputations  attacked by mobs in order to protect lies like “String Theory is our leading theory.” Or “This new medicine is safe.”

|content=A lot of what happened is this. 

U.S. Universities are designed to be tax supported elite research units. They are tasked with producing a national interest “public good” that markets can’t price, as part of the (slightly cryptic) “Endless Frontier” agreement. They aren’t colleges. Teaching undergraduates is not the core of a research university.

When social and fiscal Conservatives didn’t get this arrangement and welched, they went after universities, which then lurched towards democrats for safety. That then got into a positive feedback loop.

That’s not the full story. But a lot of this was self-inflicted by republicans who pretended that “market failure” didn’t exist, and that there was no agreement. This was particularly nasty in the 1975 NSF funding wars in DC.

Sorry if that is a bitter pill for republicans but it is an important part of the history. It’s not like STEM researchers woke up one morning and decided “Let’s all dye our hair funny colors and all embrace silly utopian things that aren’t true and don’t work.”

Welching on research funding for the “Endless Frontier” was a huge part of how this got so extreme. 

Massive own goal. Continuing into today.

Has value that is inexhaustible and inexcludible. Learn public good theory and market failure 101. Sheesh.

II) Make these prestigious jobs. Professors used to have decent lives when we won wars with professors. This is now absurd. Embarrassing. 

III) Professor in STEM need to be part o the national interest system. Not its servants. 

IV) Let scientists be scientists. We aren’t meant to be your expert witnesses. Don’t tell us what wrong conclusion you need us to find. Our job is not to run cover for a botched bioweapon project in Asia or a climate initiative. Hypothetically.

V) Bring back military funding for blue sky STEM research. Repeal the Mansfield Amendment. 

Or feel free to push universities even farther into extreme leftism.

|content=If I was an intelligent foreign state looking to capitalize on the United States **catastrophic** self-inflicted decision to abandon its scientists and welch on their deal, I’d also buy a ranch close to Los Alamos.

It’s *such* a good move.

And an office in Harvard Square.

Etc.

|content=@MurigoVespucci Yes! Same experience with music. Markets. Biology. Linguistics. He was actually most impressive on Evolutionary Theory of all things. On that he was better. 

Go figure. 🤷‍♀️

|content=I’m repeating myself. 

We need to protect children and kids from state supoorted monsters. Period and without excuses. I’ve put in my time over two fruitless lonely decades. But good people are on this now. So I am not needed as much on this part.

Now, let’s talk science and NatSec.

A) People in dual use science need to be briefed on the fact that this is what they have entered. They need to take on the immense responsibility of being part of the Scientific-Military-Industrial juggernaut…and as full partners.

B) A return to 3-2-1 support for leading scientists to keep pace with finance and avoid poaching by geopolitical rivals. 3 kids through graduate school. 2nd home with an appropriate retirement. 1 domicile for both spouses. We make the American dream for everyone other than ourselves by providing a public good that cannot be seen by the market. This is stupid. 

C) DOE is renamed, “The Department of Physics, Energy and Atomic Weapons.” Similarly for NIAID. Acknowledge its role in WMD. 

D) An investigation into 42 years of inexplicable behavior is mounted in Frontier Physics. There is no way this is entirely organic. It’s too dumb. The failure too stark. And we ain’t that. No one ever mentioned “Quantum Gravity” before the early 1970s other than DeWitt. It’s never been the holy grail. 

E) We hold Shelter Island III. I’ve been proposing this since I was in Grad School. It’s too obvious. 

F) Let’s get on with it. Everyone is lying about how virtuous they are. Bullshit. 

Islands are fun. Money is fun. Science is fun. Private Aviation is fun. Luxury properties are fun. Drugs are fun. Wild parties and luaus are fun. Rare wine is fun. Designer clothes are fun. Celebrities are fun. Misbehavior is fun.

Who wouldn’t be attracted to this? This  is normal. So why is this treated as criminal? 

What isn’t fun? Torture. Treason. Little kids. Sex slaves. Cannibalism. Cruelty. Racism. 

When you treat normal messy humans and human behavior as criminal and pathological public affairs (e.g. “OMG. He was high, taking selfies, smelled of weed, was bragging about his tax accountant, and starred at her deadly low cut evening gown…can you believe it!”) you open an opportunity for psychopaths.

Fire the academic Nannies and administrators who pathologies normal adult men and women.  That makes it easy to hunt psychopaths and traitors because now everyone normal wants to help find the cancer and protect our children and the nation. 

G) Teach the capitalists market failure theory. This is simple Economics 1010. Science can’t be priced by the market any more than the army can. Too many tech billionaires have gone anti science: “Start a company you leach.” This is beyond dumb. 

Then explain that Fauci and Collins and COVID was not a science problem. It was an institutional problem. Fauci wasn’t a scientist and Public Health isn’t a science. 

H) Invetigate Elsevier, Peer Review, Robert Maxwell, Harvard, Lancet, Nature. Repeal the Mansfield Ammendment, Bayh-Dole and IMMACT90. M

I) Rehabilitate the ass Jim Watson and other messy geniuses. We go back to kicking ass.
