H-1B Visa

From The Portal Wiki

I highly recommend learning about the history of where H-1B came from before getting emotionally invested in it.

It was born as a labor tampering conspiracy against American scientists headquartered at the @theNASEM (GUIRR) & @nsf (PRA) under Erich Bloch.

Those debating H-1B and skilled immigration should talk to its intellectual father Myles Boylan. A quiet man of which you likely have never heard.

There is one hell of a conspiracy story to tell around where this came from. Would consider doing a podcast to stop my friends from fighting.

Spoiler Alert: Skilled Immigration is a political football.

It is an evil system designed by a conspiracy from our science complex that brings us great people to displace our own great people, which is supported by great people and fought by great people.

All the major voices I see on this so far are in some super-position of 'Wrong' and 'Not Wrong'.

Note to my friends with the incoming administration: It will tear you apart if you don't know where it came from and what it is designed to do.

Word to the wise: It is designed to tear good people apart.

1/ The invisible world is first detected in the visible world's failure to close. [For @naval @johndurant @pmarca et al. A tweet storm try.]

3:23 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

2/ In physics we have conservation laws. We found the light/invisible neutrino because decay in heavy/visible particles violated these rules

3:27 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

3/ Likewise in biology we proved the germ thy of pathogens vs theories like spontaneous generation/miasma by visible effects at macro scale.

3:31 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

4/ I used 'failure to close' to deduce from 1st principles that the NSF must have done a secret study in '85-6 on how to *lower* sci. wages.

3:35 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

5/ This was b/c the incompetent 'shortfall studies' that got NSF in trouble would have lead to different visa laws than those that passed.

3:40 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

6/ I was shocked when a highly competent "smoking gun" study hidden in '86 showed up exactly where my thy predicted: https://t.co/VZvmupRFon

3:44 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

7/ This is the secret history of H1-B. The @NSF secretly studied how to interfere w/ US labor market 2 avoid paying scientists market wages.

3:47 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

8/ Rules:
I) Look for a macro system failing to close.
II) *Don't* posit a detailed explanation.
III) Posit a 'neutrino' place holder & dig.

3:55 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

9/ HW: A) Why don't top OEMs sell laptops w/ lens covers, mic kill switches & hardwired video LEDs offering security to gain mkt advantage?

4:01 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

10/ How do you get 9 figures of wealth doing charity work & public speaking without selling, inventing, founding or investing brilliantly?

4:03 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

11/ C) Why were Bernie's massive rallies often not covered @ NYT & why did a positive Bernie article go neg after massive linking from web?

4:08 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

12/ D) Why do laboratory bred mice used for drug testing have extra long telomeres (allowing radical tissue repair) compared to wild type?

4:10 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

13/ I could go on. I don't know which are nefarious. I'm a different kind of conspiracy guy. I *don't* have answers but know where I'd dig.

4:14 AM ¡ Sep 21, 2016

14/14. Thank you for your time. Feel free 2 attack. But remember, I've been here before just as w @NSF...before digging up their smoking gun

We need an emergency talk about this media war on @AndrewYang & @TulsiGabbard that was waged on @RonPaul, @BernieSanders & others before.

This is what I call the “Vampire Effect”; institutions will not reflect certain people just as vampires supposedly don’t reflect in a mirror.

8:33 PM ¡ Jan 7, 2020

This isn’t cute as #YangMediaBlackout. This isn’t hidden any more. This is a boast by our media. Their point to all of us is: “Fuck you and your illusions”. And We aren’t calling it what it is: a declaration of war by our own media and parties against our own democratic process.

8:33 PM ¡ Jan 7, 2020

Forget the Russians tampering in US democracy. That’s amateur hour. The Russians aren’t bragging like this. @MSNBC has been asking: “So tough guys, whatcha gonna do about the fact that we just keep knocking your milkshake into your date’s lap?”

8:33 PM ¡ Jan 7, 2020

I’ve experience it every time I bring up the secret NSF study that lead to the H1B visa. There is an absolute black out. But because I have the study, media can’t say it doesn’t exist. So they just refuse to reflect it. Same w/ other such issues. There’s just *no* MSM reflection.

8:33 PM ¡ Jan 7, 2020

We need to just be done with this open coup against meaningful elections. This is “Magicians choice” ... which is no choice at all. To hell with our news magicians. We need to make their credibility a financial issue. Open to suggestions.

Take a look:

8:33 PM ¡ Jan 7, 2020


A correct initial point. Wrong (business school friendly type) frame.

Given not Zero sum: do you think more or less innovation would happen if labor access rights were securitized & traded as in Coasian theory or if they were confiscated and used as seigniorage as they are now?

7:16 PM ¡ Jan 11, 2020

It’s not zero sum.

Do you think wages (and innovation and profits) would be higher or lower if fewer of the very smartest people came to Silicon Valley from the rest of the world? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring_theory_of_economic_development

6:54 PM ¡ Jan 11, 2020

Next point: do you think that it is more or less efficient to pretend STEM workers are ‘graduate students’ being paid with immigration lures and not allowed to unionize or is it better to use markets?

7:16 PM ¡ Jan 11, 2020

Additionally, how many of the H1Bs are tethered to “sponsoring employers” or masters? What happens when wage signals are distorted by servitude? How many niche businesses founded by immigrants would have been founded by natives? Why is this often not estimated or set to zero??

7:16 PM ¡ Jan 11, 2020

Overarching point: our entire immigration discussion is framed & structured to come to conclusions favored by employers. It excludes rights issues, efficiency issues, tampering, dilution, externalities. You are interpreting my frame rejection as my not having thought about this.

7:20 PM ¡ Jan 11, 2020

Well, I’ve thought about this. Even published.

7:20 PM ¡ Jan 11, 2020


I got tired of MSNBC suppressing @AndrewYang. The @DNC suppressing @TulsiGabbard. @HillaryClinton suppressing @bernie. @ABC editors suppressing reporting on Epstein. @nytimes not covering @EvergreenStCol in real time. @Harvard burying my wife’s & my work: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/18-slipping-the-disc-state-of-the-portal-chapter-2020/id1469999563?i=1000462651162

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

I got tired of @RonPaul being suppressed by @GOP. The @UMich wasting years of my brother’s life and peer review suppressing his discovery. The Boskin commission suppressing truth about inflation. How the @nsf and @theNASEM suppressed the reason for H1-B. We must name the enemy:

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

The enemy is the DISC. Its the complex of structures that resulted in fantastic income inequality & unrest breaking out all over the 🌎. It is what keeps Jamie Dimon safe from Len Bole. David Baltimore from Margot O’Toole. Biden safe from Yang. Institutions safe from Individuals.

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

The first goal of The Portal is to install a Portal allowing young researchers in our STEM departments and Research Universities to avoid being subjected to submission to these instutions. No loyalty oaths. No signing over your intellectual property. No theft of your retirement.

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

I don’t want you having to submit your work to an anonymous referee if you don’t trust that process. What if it is an unethical competitor? What if your advisor is jealous of you or has come to dislike you? You and your work need adult options. You are a scientist not an infant.

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

You have a right to unionize. You have a right to know if your department can’t place its graduates into professorships and is blaming you for its failures. You have a right not to be subjected to the intellectual “Droit du seigneur” that has come over “graduate training”.

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

And what do I want in exchange for trying this? Selfishly, I am about to take on a fair amount of negativity and risk so I would be honored to be mentioned in your thesis acknowledgements if I can help get you a real income and the rights to your own work. But I want more.

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

What I most want is that you have the courage I lacked. I couldn’t imagine standing up to Harvard.

I want you to swing for the fucking fences w/ your research. I want you to remember that we need you to get out of our stagnation. I want you to believe pathologically in yourself.

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020

So let’s go after the exhaust vent in the DISC. Let’s get you a future. Jobs in the same city as the one you love. Careers while you‘re young. Let’s get you savings for retirement & help raising your kids.

But to make this work: stop fetishizing “identity” & build our future.🙏

7:09 PM ¡ Jan 16, 2020


2021

Thanks for the invitation. I can try to explain my concern.

There really *is* a problem w MAGA, Trump, Qanon & conspiracy theories running rampant. And it will result in death & destruction if it spins out of control.

However it is being fueled by those who claim to fight it.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

Hi @EricRWeinstein. Can you please explain to the public why you would be preemptive like this in a way that seems to contradict your value system? 🙏

12:42 AM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

The entire war over fact checking is a war of 2 low resolution teams.

One team wants absolute freedom to spread wild eyed theories that just about everything is a psyop or a false flag.

The other team wants to impose institutional consensus reality on everyone via media & tech.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

Unfortunately, I can’t live under either. So each of the warring parties thinks I’m against them & for the other team. In their mentalities if you aren’t on their simplistic team you are, de facto, working for the other side. There’s no basic concept of *responsible* heterodoxy.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

No the Freemasons do not run everything on behalf of pedophile reptilians who faked Sandy Hook with crisis actors.

Yes there are/were conspiracies behind Epstein, H1B, @MSNBC, PPE, climate science, the “Great Moderation”, Great Reset...everywhere institutions want a “consensus”.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

Having spent a good portion of my 20s at Harvard, I know *exactly* how this game works. Our betters sit down and try to figure out how to control others behind closed doors. They see themselves as the intrinsically enlightened people who need to do the thinking for all of us.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

When they wanted to cut our Social Security payments & raise our taxes they opted to try to change the CPI rather than pass legislation. When they wanted to pay less for scientists they knew to keep *silent* about NSF Labor Shortage claims even though such shortages don’t exist.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

These are the folks who tell you “masks don’t work” rather than “save masks for doctors as we forgot to restock them and moved all manufacturing to China like morons”. They will then spin on a dime to tell you “Only bad dumb people don’t wear masks”. This is the worst of Harvard.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

So I don’t want Alex Jones and Qanon nor do I want @TwitterSafety, @msnbc and @Harvard. I see them as very different forms of the same thing: people who want to take away our ability to see clearly.

And, I assure you, @Harvard tries to paint anyone it can’t control as dangerous.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

So, my belief is that anyone who rejects/questions Davos, Consensus Reality, Institutional Narrative, Public Health Campaigns, High Immigration, Peer Review, Primary Election Coverage, Trust & Safety...will be treated as Alex Jones sooner or Later.

This is Managed Reality ™.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

I cannot live in Managed Reality ™ because I think it defeats the purpose of being a human being. It negates being an American. It abdicates responsibility for our children.

I have defeated Harvard about half the times we have fought. How? Because they just aren’t that good.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

Managed Reality ™ has a weak spot. It’s not run by our A-team anymore. Fauci isn’t Francis Crick. Biden isn’t Elon. Janet Yellen isn’t Satoshi.

In general, the A-Team is going independent because tech/media/Ed are enforcing way too much conformity through personal destruction.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

So why am I worried?

Well, I’ve been trying to save the institutions. It’s probably doomed, but almost no one is trying to do what I do: rescue the institutions from their death spiral by reinserting their critics in positions of prominence (eg Chomsky at MIT).

Hence my fear.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

If I were a tech guy I’d retreat into wealth. If I were a professor I’d shut up and collect my salary with job security. If I was a politician or journalist I’d follow the other sheep.

But I’m a science guy, an American and a dad. And I want my kids to have a particular future.

3:50 PM ¡ Feb 12, 2021

Thanks.
