|content=I have come to the conclusion that @jack needs to look at scientists  who have been successfully threading the needles on this platform for a decade and give them '''academic freedom''' from the arbitrary application and selective enforcement of vague mercurial rules by @TwitterSafety.

|content=Actually, more generally, can we get a version of '''academic freedom''' on this platform @jack? Some of us take risks to speak against lying authorities. I’m sick of relitigating. One of the things that keeps even @TwitterSafety in check is folks who refuse authoritarian coordination.

For America? Clearly I’ve lost this storyline...

I believe I must repeatedly violate @vijaya &amp; @TwitterSafety rules to be honest about official lies. I believe you/they are also manipulating my reach. I call for an end to the opaque manipulation of the national conversation: we have a right to know your algorithms.

@jack: We can’t afford the responsible heterodox subjected to @TwitterSafety. 

@nytimes: we can’t afford @TaylorLorenz &amp; @nhannahjones enforcing your groupthink.

|content=Boğaziçi Univeristy has been the jewel of Turkey’s academic system since the Ottoman era. 

But it is also associated with secularism, Christianity, tolerance, '''academic freedom''', high standards and the west. And thus, it finds itself under attack from Turkey’s current government.

As I said to @esaagar &amp; @makosloff, the money from Spotify may actually help freedom to think in public after all.

Oddly, at the moment:

Spotify FU Money &gt; '''Institutional Academic Freedom'''.

And way to go @joerogan. This informal network requires folks to have each other’s backs. But it’s always a risk with big tech, big pharma & big government on the side of these master narratives.

|content=Oh for f’s sake. Science didn’t lose the public trust.

Academicians stripped of '''academic freedom''' lost public trust. Irreproducible [[Peer Review|Peer reviewed]] papers lost public trust. Public health lost public trust.

Is ANYONE worried about Avogadro’s number or the genetic code being wrong?

|content=Say that again. But louder. Not buried in a thread.

Let's be blunt: Science no longer needs money. It desperately needs FU money.

Years ago it didn't need FU money because its culture, tenure &amp; institutional protection provided the FU of '''academic freedom'''. Now it *needs* wealth.
