Got to geek out on the death of Sydney Brenner.
This is one of my favorite documents. A letter from Gamow to Crick about Richard Feynman & Edward Teller contemplating homoerotic (see drawing) overlapping codon models of the as yet unknown genetic code. Brenner debunked all such! https://t.co/Tf2U3CmefC
What a world. How exciting Science was. Can you imagine a world in which such big questions were comparatively elementary and wide open? Huge minds were so boldly imaginative. Playing. Like kids. Feynman/Gamow/Teller/Crick/Rich/Brenner.đź
And just a few decades ago.
Yesterday.
Weâve had many recent stunning reversals that all have the same exact pattern. The mainstream says when the obvious may be acknowledged.
A) Time mag. says: There Was a conspiracy against Trump in the Election.
B) The Lab is Likely the Covid Origin.
C) You can enjoy Outdoors.
I could have been massless outdoors long ago. I knew the Lab was never a racist wildeyed idea. And I knew tech was conspiring against even anti-Trump accounts that were off-narrative.
They did the same on masks. And on flu worse than âno big dealâ COVID. The exact same pattern.
Okay. Where is the story: âa lot of people we call crazy got everything right before we didâŠbut we get to determine who is allowed to think and speak using platforms.â
The platforms are punishing everyone who doesnât wait for the signal. Mostly conservative refuse to wait.
Itâs like an intellectual fire drill where we all get marched out of the building of sane rational thought while lunatic firemen search for the fire that isnât there.
Jon Stewart is a narrative fire Marshall. âYou canât be sane just yet..Okay..Now itâs safe to use your mind.â
This is what conservatives and disaffected liberals have in common. We donât wait to use our mind because the New York Times or NPR isnât sure what will happen if we think for ourselves.
Ariana Grande is a Fire Marshall. When she dances w no mask, we all can. Thx @ArianaGrande!
I think this is the common cause I feel with Conservatives most. I hate outsourcing my brain in my one beautiful life to people appointed to control when it is safe to think. I donât want intellectual fire Marshallâs unless D-day is next week and we canât afford a misstep.
Ariana Grande is pretty. And she can sing. But she ainât Francis Crick or Sydney Brenner, and they would *never* ask me to stop thinking until Ariana and Jon Stewart give the all clear.
This is why smart people hate this fire Marshall system. Itâs going to happen again. End it.
