This article is a stub. You can help us by editing this page and expanding it.
The concept of “strategic silence” in journalism is fascinating. You take something of direct importance to the public that would sell papers because everyone wants to read about it...and then you quietly fail to report because of potential consequences:
https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jun/01/extremist-ideas-media-coverage-kkk
This is how the game is played. People don’t get that the entire REASON 9/11 conspiracies exist is that we can’t admit that some things are not well understood. I don’t believe in a 9/11 conspiracy theory. I do believe we have a building collapse for which we lack a good theory.
Then the pressure will start “You are feeding lunatics!” No I‘m not. You are the ones *starving* lunatics. And that’s far more dangerous you idiots. This is from the current Wikipedia article on Building 7’s collapse. Can we not say “That’s odd.” Or “That’s weird.” Well, why not?
Look at the carnage of the ‘08 financial crisis. I was told I was feeding panic from 2002-5 when I claimed I didn’t understand how mortgage backed securities gave rise to the banishing of volatility given the opacity of the products. So guess who caused the crash? Me & math guys!
I mean really??? You get the physics guy @overbye at the @nytimes to write a story to deflect from the actual people who put the world at risk?? It’s so good!! You people in the institutional world still have no idea why you got @realDonaldTrump elected.
It’s the universal lies.
This is the DISC:
Don’t ask your questions.
Don’t admit you don’t understand.
Don’t question experts.
Don’t listen to heterodoxy.
Don’t associate with iconoclasts.
Don’t befriend the other party.
Don’t criticize your own fringe.
Don’t self-promote.
Don’t be gauche.
Die silently.
Okay. I caused the 2008 crash together with my colleague @EmanuelDerman. I caused @realDonaldTrump to win because I said during the election what @donnabrazile said after the election. And if you haven’t noticed the US STEM system may collapse.
Put it on my bill with xenophobia!
At some point however, you may want to try a new hypothesis: the institutional system is obviously fake & getting faker. Rather than lathering on the cosmetic bullshit until you become Tammy Faye Baker, you might want to just say: “Maybe we have a universal authenticity crisis.”
I’ve been trying to help. I try to tell you that your “Strategic Silence” theory is breeding lunatics. Your demonization of normal Americans is courting fascism. Your rent-seeking pig-out at the trough invites communism.
Or just call me Alex Jones. The choice is yours.
We’ve been here together multiple times before. You want to go again?
Who knows maybe you’ll win again? But it’s late in the day & your old magic isn’t working as well as it did. Look at the Oval Office you fools.
We know each other so well:
https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/10/science/10quant.html
Be well.
Unfortunately no one can be told what the D.I.S.C. is:
Terms of service
Superdelegates
Catch & Kill
Blue Ribbon Panel
Trust and Safety
Peer Review
Authoritative Sources
Non-Disparagment/Disclosure
Deboosting
Strategic Silence
Downranking
ML Fairness
No-Platform
Tin Foil Hat
Etc.
@EricRWeinstein in as few characters as possible, what is the DISC?
Always a thousand times more eloquent, Dr. @EricRWeinstein
@MsMelChen @boony_t I wish I came up with “strategic silence” Miss Chen, but Journalism, Statecraft, and Public Relations seems to have beaten us all to this gem.
Cars don't randomly attack Germans at HIGH SPEED at Christmas Markets. Just like Trucks don't attack the French celebrating national holidays.
What was the car's motive?
My heart goes out to all those targeted in what is all but certain to be an act of *Anti-Christian* terror.
@C_Midd77 This is the issue of style guides and their doctrine of “strategic silence”.
