What is the DISC?[edit]

DISC stands for: Distributed Idea Suppression Complex

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.
-Eric Weinstein

-Dear Portalite Friend,
+{{stub}}
-When you revert this graffiti, please view my profile page and send me directions to "The Portal" (presumably the Discord, but other avenues may also be appropriate) using the email address provided there (or find someone who can). The tweets referenced above are good but general. I would not normally even attempt to slip the DISC in this unfortunately somewhat rude manner, but this is actually for the public good. The idea I can't get through is not patent-able (intentionally, by design). But it could help a lot of people.
-I'll find a way whether it's through this Portal or not. But you might seize this opportunity to prove to yourself that you aren't full of shit. Pardon my language; you actually do have my confidence, or else I wouldn't be here.
-Best regards,
-JDS
