The bottom is a mess. The top is a mess. The best we can do is sort out what makes sense the best we can. Thanks for engaging. Hope it helps. Last thought: think about failure modes and always about systems of selective pressures.

Elite special forces? Elite athletes? Elite pilots? Elite Scientists and Researchers? Forget the word elite. Yes, we need to recognize outliers rather than have the fake & rent-seeking elite privatize the true outliers who threaten them. |timestamp=7:34 PM 路 Feb 14, 2019 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1096131757538066433 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Your true elite want to do a lot for the world. The rent-seeking elite find this terrifying. You don鈥檛 want me doing amateur brain surgery on your child because you want to democratize everything.
