The Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (The DISC)
What is the DISC?
The distributed idea suppression complex (The DISC for short) is a concept invented by Eric Weinstein that is heavily discussed in episode 18 of The Portal.
Donât ask your questions.
Donât admit you donât understand.
Donât question experts.
Donât listen to heterodoxy.
Donât associate with iconoclasts.
Donât befriend the other party.
Donât criticize your own fringe.
Donât self-promote.
Donât be gauche.
Die silently.
