|content=@GeorgeWHerbert I didn’t say that. First of all you left the word “theory” out of your quote. Then you made an inference that string theorists only have the ability to negatively affect string theory. Which is totally not true. It’s counter to everything I say about this in fact. | |content=@GeorgeWHerbert I didn’t say that. First of all you left the word “theory” out of your quote.

|content=One question I get a lot is "What explains your asymmetric focus on Democrats and the Left?" | |||
The short answer, after some soul searching and introspection, is simply this: "The Gaslighting of Experts." | |||
I see the Republican party fighting the experts they oppose. I don't see them trying to gaslight them much. | |||
Let's say you are an economist who believes that higher taxes spent on infrastructure would be good for the nation. The right may fight you. They may call you a name like "Libtard" or "Commie". And that is absolutely awful behavior to me. Truly. But they aren't nearly as likely to coordinate behind the scenes in emails to be discovered later and all agree to pretend, seemingly independently, that as a former expert you have committed some unclear moral crime that means you can never be empaneled or invited onto a commission. They aren't immediately going to treat you like a mental patient, a con-artist, or threat to society. They are just going to be asses. That's the dopey game they love: "Happy Warriors" is what they call it. | |||
And the subjects I focus on most tend to be the places where I think dissenting experts are being gaslit: | |||
COVID ORIGINS | |||
SOUTHERN BORDER | |||
[[String Theory|STRING THEORY]] | |||
[[The Cognitive Decline of President Joe Biden|POTUS COGNITIVE STATE AND AGE]] | |||
EPSTEIN'S INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION | |||
COVID MANAGEMENT | |||
QUESTIONING UKRAINE NATO STRATEGY | |||
INFLATION/GROWTH MEASUREMENT | |||
MONETARY AGGREGATES AND FED INTERVENTION | |||
VP COMPETENCY | |||
ASYMMETRIC TREATMENT OF CONTESTING ELECTIONS and VIOLENT CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE | |||
VACCINE INJURY DISCUSSION | |||
SEX AND GENDER REDEFINITION | |||
ANDREW YANG / TULSI GABBARD / RON PAUL / ETC. PRIMARY MANIPULATION | |||
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY INTERFERENCE | |||
[[UAP=SAP|DENIED LEGACY UAP PROGRAMS]] | |||
HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY | |||
DIRTY TRICKS CAMPAIGNS / DOMESTIC SPYING | |||
NON-CONSENSUAL HUMAN TESTING (infectious agents, radioactivity) | |||
BAILOUTS | |||
MAXIMALIST STRUCTURAL BIGOTRY CLAIMS | |||
LABOR MARKET FLOODING VIA IMMIGRATION | |||
RELIGIOUS TERRORISM | |||
Etc. | |||
In all cases above, there is some absolutely *MASSIVE* long-term lying and obfuscation. Not small. Not excusable. I am talking about massive lies. Lies that last decades. Lies too large to choke a blue whale. | |||
And they incinerate dissenting experts as pretend neer-do-wells for the crime of dissenting from consensus. | |||
What is the point of becoming an expert Stanford or Harvard professor if you can be turned into a "Fringe Epidemiologist" like @DrJBhattacharya was overnight by some washington insiders like Colins and Fauci? | |||
To an academic: it makes life pointless. Everything we are becomes pointless if that is allowed to stand. | |||
So, this is what I have to say: I appear to be focused on gaslighting of dissenting experts more than politics. | |||
It's not that I don't have political opinions. I do. It's that I haven't been able to focus on them for years. All we seem to do these days is deal with gaslighting on our top line issues above. | |||
And the formula is quite simple. An expert can have: | |||
A) Reach.</br> | |||
B) Reputation.</br> | |||
C) Independence. | |||
but no more than 2 out of 3. | |||
This is a terrible rule. And whoever attempts to enforce that rule, is who I fight. Unfortunately, that group has been my own historic political party as transformed over 30 years. | |||
And, in my opinion, they deserve to continue to hemorrage credibility for that crime against their own until they end this tactic. It's a crime against everything I believe with all my soul. We need *DISSENTING* experts to right our listing ship on all of the above and more. | |||
Check the above list. That's no small thing. It's about the destruction of a country that I dearly love and which the world needs desperately to come back at this moment. | |||
Thanks for hearing me out. | |||
