{{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450504775011684353 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=The two party binary is likely emergent not from ideological left vs right but from the game theory of the way we count votes and determine leadership. And the binary will be called L v R. Many of us moved on. But the game theory didn’t. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450304583402622979 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=What we now know: A) There is an [[Official Copy of Reality|official copy of reality]].</br> B) It’s self-evidently wrong, but benefits a minority.</br> C) Attempts to discuss that it is obviously wrong and benefits a minority at the expense of everyone else is interpreted as disinformation and harmful conversation. |timestamp=3:35 AM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=TuckerMax-profile-m-OJx9Y-.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/TuckerMax/status/1450305568703406080 |name=Tucker Max |usernameurl=https://x.com/TuckerMax |username=TuckerMax |content=Welcome! Many of us have known this for decades, glad to see you on this side. |timestamp=3:39 AM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450306546974400512 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@TuckerMax I’ve only been on this kick since the mid 1970s and the Church/Pike Comittee’s when I was growing up which was formative for me. People like @danielsheehan45 and Noam Chomsky have been here a lot longer. |timestamp=3:43 AM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450306808891904000 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@TuckerMax @danielsheehan45 What is new for me is that the world in general now dimly intuits that this is true. |timestamp=3:44 AM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450308197684682753 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=[People aren’t parsing the above as intended. Forgive me. The operative words were meant to be ‘we’ & ‘now’. Meaning that this used to be knowledge believed by a minority of iconoclasts, but is now dimly understood by nearly everyone, at least in some form or to some degree.] |timestamp=3:49 AM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=TuckerMax-profile-m-OJx9Y-.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/TuckerMax/status/1450451031930781696 |name=Tucker Max |usernameurl=https://x.com/TuckerMax |username=TuckerMax |content=Eric, if that is true, why do you spend so much time lamenting the definition of the left and the specific ideological lines of the Parties? If you know its a show, why don't you know that is a huge part of the trick? |timestamp=1:17 PM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450459656564850689 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@TuckerMax @danielsheehan45 The “[[Official Copy of Reality|official copy of reality]]” changes character. For example the innovations of Dick Morris and Bill Clinton on the Left, along with Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich on the Right were catastrophic in my opinion. Previous versions of this game were sustainable while ugly and unjust. |timestamp=1:51 PM · Oct 19, 2021 |media1=ERW-X-post-1450459656564850689-FCERXjqVkAATBzm.jpg }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450461382923665420 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@TuckerMax @danielsheehan45 The Degradations of the 2008 crisis followed by the Dear Colleague letter of R. Ali in 2011, IMMACT90, Bayh-Dole in 1980, were specific worsenings of our corrupt picture of reality. The Jenga tower was never the solid structure it was claimed to be. But it stood. It won’t now. |timestamp=1:58 PM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=TuckerMax-profile-m-OJx9Y-.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/TuckerMax/status/1450463117851439115 |name=Tucker Max |usernameurl=https://x.com/TuckerMax |username=TuckerMax |content=Precisely! My point is that arguing over whether right or left version is the "correct" one IS the problem. Overton window, two wings same bird, etc. The frame is to understand its ALL BS--and to move on from the entire frame. |timestamp=2:05 PM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450466125452566540 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@TuckerMax @danielsheehan45 Left and Right were dialectical. The pre-Clinton Left served a role for labor. We needed the dialectic. Now it’s Thelma vs Louise to see who hits the ground last. I have no interest. |timestamp=2:17 PM · Oct 19, 2021 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1450466323641872387 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@TuckerMax @danielsheehan45 We can’t just opt out.
