| A/B testing (also known as bucket testing or split-run testing) is a user experience research methodology. A/B tests consist of a randomized experiment with two variants, A and B. It includes application of statistical hypothesis testing or "two-sample hypothesis testing" as used in the field of statistics. A/B testing is a way to compare two versions of a single variable, typically by testing a subject's response to variant A against variant B, and determining which of the two variants is more effective.

| == Don't wait for the bread to rise ==
| |
| "We Jews have a tradition that I wish everybody had, which is that we read one stupid story every God damn year, just to drill it into your head to make sure it's always fresh. And this is: when it's time to leave, when it's time to change, don't wait for the bread to rise. This is what I say to every Jewish person, like, you're sitting around waiting for the bread to rise, because they all know the story, which is you eat the goddamn matzah because the people who waited for the bread to rise are no longer with us; their descendants are no longer with us. And it is time to revolt. ~ Eric on [https://youtu.be/wf0_nMaQ6tA?t=2210 JRE #1453 @ 36 min]

You’re constantly looking for what is possible in a kind of MacGyverish sort of a way. And that’s your approach to the world.

| |
| | |
| There has been a breakdown in the ''Semi-reliable Communal Sense-making''. Traditionally we used institutions to guide our collective sense-making, but this is no longer the case in the media landscape – so sense-making is no longer close to fully ''communal''. Walter Cronkite was not always telling the truth, but what he said was a close approximation of the national consciousness and shared belief structure as a complex for the country to function upon, but this does not exist in the current media landscape – so it is no longer ''semi-reliable''.

| == Totalizing Ideologies ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| Arendt defines ideologies as concepts of describing the world and people in it, as ‘isms which at least as far as their adherents are concerned, can explain virtually every event and norm in social life by deduction from a single premise. They are worldviews that collapse nuance and contradiction, and simultaneously promise a means of refining and perfecting the world in a fashion that is promised to significantly improve it for its adherents and their progeny. Ideological systems like this are obviously not rare, rather it is the elevating of one such school of thought into a totalitarian movement where the mischief occurs. Seized by such a movement as a templates of a future perfected, an ideological system of belief becomes transformed into a deductive principle of action.

| == Thinkquisition ==
| |
| "In the Inquisition, the Jews of Spain were chased by the Spanish Inquisition into, say, Turkey in the Ottoman Empire. My claim is that a lot of analytic lefties have been chased into the center right by the madness of these progressive lunatics, and that thing I'm calling "The Thinkquisition" is that people who are worried about, you know, homophobia or xenophobia, and all these things, but don't for a second sign up for the progressive, revolutionary sort of pseudo-Maoist agenda, those people are now hanging out as if they were in Turkey, even though their home, you know, was originally in the analog of Spain. The center right has become the Ottoman Empire to receive people chased out of the madness of Spain." ~Eric on [https://jamesaltucher.com/podcast/472-eric-weinstein/ The James Altucher show #472]

| == Technology Intelligence Media (TIM) ==
| |
| Eisenhower said: “beware of the military-industrial complex” in his final farewell address. Eric believes that this needs to be updated to be aware of what he calls '''TIM: technology, Intelligence, and Media'''.
| |
| | |
| All of our personal information is housed on the servers of a few large tech companies.
| |
| The intelligence community has not been vigorously investigated for a very long time.
| |
| The media is in some sort of relationship to both of those that we don't understand.
| |
| The real concern is that the people who threatened the dominant “[[Gated Institutional Narrative]]”, have to beware of TIM: technology, intelligence, and media working behind the scenes in ways that we don't understand, which is the expectation post Church/Pike commissions.
| |
| | |
| I've tried to document the ways in which people have been brought down before. The last time we really cleaned house and the intelligence community was in the mid-seventies with the Church & Pike commissions. And we learned a ton about [https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-06-07/fbi-los-angeles-times-jean-seberg-50-years these untraceable ways] that a Goliath -- which sometimes is emergent and sometimes conscious -- can take somebody down and you don't realize that the story that got written about you [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtj3GYB3cTA was planted by the government]. And if that sounds crazy to you, you actually have a problem because this is fully documented. There's no conspiracy theory. It's a “conspiracy fact”. What we don't know is what happened since [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee Church]/[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_Committee Pike].
| |
| | |
| And this is why, for example, with the [https://fas.org/irp/congress/2018_cr/nunes-memo.pdf Nunes memo]. (While I think it's a completely partisan stunt, it's a partisan stunt that may actually have an underlying reality as well.)
| |
| | |
| The default should be that this is the way the world normally works: that ''wasn't'' an anomaly. And if you believe that that doesn't happen anymore--absolutely--then the burden of proof is on you.
| |
| | |
| We have to imagine that fundamentally we're all vulnerable to having all of our email in a Gmail account, all of our personal interactions in our Facebook account, what we are doing with direct messages, being read by Twitter engineers. You know, I don't love James O'Keefe, but [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgyPpsX2B0g he seems to have unearthed some stuff at Twitter]. We should be very, very worried.

| == White Suit ==
| |
| ''White Suit (Noun)'' Eric sees modern society as a game in which you're fitted with a white suit that you did not ask for and then the key
| |
| question is do you keep it clean or does it become soiled?
| |
| | |
| You're crazy to accept a white suit because that's not gonna work.
| |
| | |
| This idea came out of a theory of contract bridge where you have to say what it is you're going to do and then you're judged by whether or not you accomplished that which you said you were going to do.
