|content=We just don’t end up in the same place. That’s not how life works. Literally, “differential success” is one of the cornerstones of our scientific understanding of nature itself due to Darwin and Wallace.

|content=Less than 100 hours before the end of voting in the US election, and I am watching @KamalaHarris trying desperately to elect Donald J Trump to the presidency of the United States.
 
Let this speak for itself.

|content=Let’s be honest: virtue signaling in the Democratic Party is also about figuring out how to cryptically serve our donors. Kamala is not going to race to apply “Equity” in her new black Vernacular speech to her hedge fund friends in the Hamptons.
 
This is anti-virtuous posturing.

If it’s is not wrong, then it becomes very important to stop playing according to any old script. There’s no pretending it is still possible to play according to the script. This is not pre-1945 Europe.
 
I do not understand what we’re all doing.

|content=@AnnaGBusse May you continue to be right about this Anna. I’m speaking somewhat obliquely, but I do not like that any bold field commander this close to Poland could choose to upset this delicate equation with a mere targeting error. This is way too close to Polish land. As you know

I just don’t sense from anyone’s rhetoric that we realize where we are. We are all engaged in magical thinking about why things are some distance away from the unthinkable.

|content=@AnnaGBusse Okay. Assuming that I understand (which I may not), here is why I’m baffled. You have described a game with two players: NATO (N) and Putin (P). Both players may potentially be ‘atrocious’, but they are logical &amp; self-interested: both N&amp;P see annihilation in direct confrontation.

|content=@AnnaGBusse One can, in this description, work backwards. To avoid losing, both sides agree that they will exhaust all moves before triggering any obligate escalation to invocation of Article 5. Ergo, they both agree that they must always leave the other a way out despite their antagonism.

|content=@AnnaGBusse Okay. Here goes: I don’t see this world.
 
I think it is a first order description at best. When you are this close to NATO territory, every field commander becomes a relevant decision maker. I think I calculated there was fighting 8 hypersonic seconds away from Poland. Wrong?

|content=@AnnaGBusse Then you have the skill level of the players. Biden is 79 with a 1/20 chance of dying in any year with Kamala Harris on deck. He has said that P cannot remain in power and described that N has a “sacred obligation” to protect N (which now includes Poland since 1999).

|content=@AnnaGBusse Then, as if that wasn’t explicit enough, he took away more discretion by clarifying this meant WWIIi. Literally. Which Zelensky (Z) followed with requests for a no-fly zone at one point and â€œĐżŃ€Đ”ĐČĐ”ĐœŃ‚ĐžĐČĐœŃ‹Đ” уЮары” (preventative strikes) at another.
 
Something like that? Ballpark?

|content=@AnnaGBusse To which I cry: Bullshit. I’m not supposed to say Z has been a loose cannon because he has been wronged by P. But Z IS a loose cannon. It’s part of what has made him charismatic &amp; effective.
 
Even if I grant you a 3-4 player game with N,P and Z, there isn’t enough skill to play.

|content=@AnnaGBusse This isn’t chess. These are battlefields with weather &amp; alcohol &amp; fatigue etc.. There are many players running around miscalculating. The 1st order description is just not good enough to be this close to the rubicon. That map of the conflict is NOT the territory of an actual war.

“to me”
“most likely”
“P would/might do”
 
Take them out? It reads: “The most Russians will do is use a dirty bomb in a city” and I know you would never say that. I think we agree to your 1st order description AND its inadequacy https://t.co/0kJrBFyO1O

|content=@AnnaGBusse My argument is this: the players aren’t skilled enough to be talking through battle. There are too many actual decision makers, way too close to Poland. Z has been a very effective loose cannon. P has endgame issues from a conventional loss &amp; has non conventional options. Etc.

To me it is clear that every conventional war involving the thermonuclear powers, US and/or PRC and/or Russia etc, is like no war ever fought before 1952. Even if we fight 100 which do not move into new territory.

|content=Q: Do you believe Claudine Gay is a top scholar and the right president needed to lead and advance our leading US university and that those who oppose her are white supremacists?
 
A: Read her scholarly writings. I guess  my black colleagues who find her beyond embarrassing are all white supremacists.
 
Q: Do you believe we have a border problem we do not know how to solve?
 
A: I believe this is absurd.
 
Q: Do you believe we have a “gang shoplifting in broad daylight” problem that we do not know how to solve?
 
A: I do not. It could be solved instantly.
 
Q: Do you believe Kamala Harris Donald Trump, or Joe Biden are fit to be commander in Chief against Putin & Xi?
 
A: I don’t think anyone smart believes this.
 
Q: Do you believe we cant get to the bottom of COVID 19 and our involvement with the Wuhan Lab through @EcoHealthNYC?
 
A: No. And it killed millions.
 
Q: Do you believe we have a free press asking for hedge fund records or even the most basic hedge fund questions about a dead individual child trafficker who they report as a  “disgraced financier” while no one in New York appears to claim to have regularly traded with him?
 
A: I have been told that editors claim there is no interest in this story and that “The world has moved on.” Which I can prove are false claims
 
Q: Do you believe social media companies don’t secretly manipulate truthful communication at the direction of government to preserve official disinformation?
 
A: No. I think we have the facts on this.
 
Q: Do you believe there is an insoluble homelessness problem in San Francisco.
 
A: Xi visited and it got solved instantly. It’s insane.
 
Q: Do you believe the IC, defense department and US Aerospace companies are under effective federal oversight by Congress with respect to whatever is alleged to be going on with UAP threatening restricted military airspace?
 
A: Don’t even start. This is nuts.
 
Q: Do you agree that it is normal for fundamental physics to stall out for 40 YEARS on a dead end and no one can get a government grant to hold a series of conferences:
 
“Breaking the Log Jam: Alternatives To String Theory”
 
“Particle  Physics after String Theory: Other Voices, New Approaches?”
 
“Should we push on the closed door that says ‘Pull’: Gravitizing the Quantum as response to the 70 year failure of Quantum Gravity.”
 
A: You could save our pre-eminent scientific community from madness in a year by destroying the need to listen to those physicists who have never predicted anything that might work over decades of avoiding the subject of the actual physical world we see in the laboratory. You aren’t a physicist if you aren’t focused on the actual physical world. Much less a leading physicist. It’s that simple. This is a matter of paying theorists to rebel against the failed generations of people pretending to do high energy physics while working in imaginary worlds that do not exist.
 
Q: Do you believe that drawing any connection between Islam and Terror is Islamophobia?
 
A: Ask your close Muslim friends. They will tell you all about the problem with Islam and terror if they trust you. They as Muslims would usually be FAR more “Islamopbic” than you are if that were a real thing. Reductio Ad Absurdum.
 
Q: Do you believe that the CPI is a state of the art Cost-Of-Living measure as claimed?
 
A: It is a fake gauge to undercount inflation. Tax brackets & entitlements are indexed so it is a wealth transfer program of a size one cannot easily contemplate pretending to be a measure of the cost of living. COL is a TECHNICAL term for a measure that prices consumer well being not goods. The entire house of cards rests on work on “Superlative Index Numbers”  of a single obscure Canadian economist  who does not fully understand Index Theory. You can prove it is fake by asking the @BLS_gov how it computes COL without taking in PREFERENCE DATA, without which there is no COL possible. It’s a fake measure to undercount inflation.
 
Etc.

|content=My reaction to the Trump verdict is pretty simple. This is about previously shared *tacit* understandings needed for the functioning of a free society.
 
The current case and verdict seems similar to the Bork confirmation battle from almost 40 years ago: it is a sign of the breakdown of previous *shared* tacit understandings between the parties that made the US both strong and functional.
 
To the Democratic Party leadership, Trump represents the breakdown of an understanding that the parties not allow a populist outside their perception of a window of allowable candidates. This is akin to *their* contention in 1987 that Bork represented a nominees outside the tacit agreement not to nominate extremists. Thus they mounted a new campaign of extraordinary measures to enforce their perception.
 
To the Republican Party, the Democratic leadership is innovating never before seen warfare and immoral tactics by *initiating* extraordinary warfare in violation of the tacit agreement to accept the Republican Party’s right to propose reasonable candidates without hysterical bed-wetting behavior. They believe the Democratic Party is breaking the tacit agreement not to prosecute presidents or pursue legal action as part of a campaign.
 
Leaving the issue of who is right aside temporarily, what is happening is the acceleration of the continuing breakdown of *SHARED* **TACIT** ASSUMPTIONS.  These are the backbone of our previously functional country. They are not written down. You can’t look them up
 
Trump and Bork are nominees portrayed as madmen by one side, that are so extreme as to require extraordinary measures. Democratic hardliners will celebrate. What will come back is a series of prosecutions by Republicans that the Democratic Party will see as evidence that Republicans are inexplicably evil.
 
As for what I believe? I think the Democratic Party leadership is acting like shortsighted decisions to open the doors to hell don’t matter because many are in their 80s and aren’t going to be around long enough. And they don’t care enough about their own children or their country to care about the world they leave behind after their demises. I have always said that Trump poses an existential threat. Biden joined that club a while back. He should be removing himself at his age and in his condition and Kamala should not be a heartbeat away from being commander in chief of the world’s pre-eminent thermonuclear power.
 
What do I want? It’s laughable. I sound delusional.
 
I want all these people gone, removed by their parties’ middle aged wise men and women so that we aren’t forced to play this out. I want  some vital person in their 40s with military and government experience and a technical background to be in the Oval Office giving the speeches needed to restore our nation.  I don’t care which party at this point. Someone who has seen action and loves America. I don’t care the party, the race, the gender, the sexual orientation or anything else at this point .
 
The fact that such a vision admittedly sounds insane
even to me
.tells you everything about how these people have shifted our tacit understandings of ourselves. We have accepted madness.
 
Adults would never have let this happen. The aged, ironically, have simply cleared out *all* the adults.
 
How do you ask a badly misbehaving Octogenarian: “Is your mother or father at home?”
 
I am more concerned with my children at this point than either Biden or Trump. We are going to play this out as we did Bork for our foreseeable future. It’s so insane.

|content=Let's face the cold hard medical facts: Joe Biden has been cognitively unfit for office for his entire term. This is not new. This is not subtle.
 
You the @nytimes have suddenly stopped covering for him. Neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump should be anywhere near the Oval Office, the Nuclear Football or the life and death decisions which come with the presidency.
 
How dare you. We have been shouting the above at the top of our lungs and begging you to just report the news.
 
By posing as a news organization you are a danger to planet earth. We are a Thermonuclear power with security responsibilities for the free world.
 
Either become a newspaper or stop publishing. To do neither is evil personified.
 
Note: Kamala Harris is not cognitively qualitied to be Commander In Chief of the US Armed forces either. I am well aware that she is black and female. That has no bearing on anything. There are many black females who are fully qualified to take on the oath of office.
 
Enough with hunting Democrats who refuse to sing from your sullied hymnal with aspersions, hit pieces, and defamations.
 
Report the news or shutter your doors. Period.

|content=Immediately afterward, she wanted to record a podcast and wasn’t taking any excuses like the extreme heat or exhaustion.
 
What are she and @RobertKennedyJr focused on? Policy. Ideas. Listening. And they are listening to a wider and more eclectic variety of voices than either party.
 
What were the ground rules she set for the podcast? None. At all. She didn’t try to script, direct, manage or circumscribe me in any way. “Just tell us what you really think.” For a VP candidate, I couldn’t believe it.
 
Nicole is always incredibly smart and ready to see the big picture, as well as to geek out and get into the weeds. She explained that she wants the voices that people know they want but who can’t get the time of day from either of the two parties to have a home. And she wants that to speak for her campaign. Amazing,  right? It’s so unfamiliar.
 
I haven’t talked about Nicole publicly because our conversations and relationship have been private up until now.
 
Well
Now that I’m outed, let me say this. @NicoleShanahan is a force of nature who loves to get technical and has the best interests of our country at heart in every conversation.
 
But among all things she is, I would say she is a mom, and a ferocious one when it comes to those in no state to properly defend themselves. When I mentioned my love of Angeli Gomez, the Texas woman who took off her heels to hop the fence and rescue her children in Uvalde when the cops with handguns  were afraid to go up against the shooter’s AR-15, Nicole’s eyes lit up. “That is the energy. That is who we represent. People unafraid to fight like hell to leave a better world for their descendents.”
 
So have a listen to this podcast. She brings it around to Coasian Economics (!), the true history of peer review (!!) and many more topics you have not heard about from Kamala or Trump.
 
Nicole is going to be an important force in civic life well beyond whatever happens in November. I’m really honored that she would chose to podcast and strategize with me the day after Biden dropped out.
 
This is a woman who cares deeply about ideas, listening and fighting for the world in which her daughter will live. You don’t need to take that from their ads. You can just listen to her run this podcast and feel it. Or take it from me.
 
Please follow @NicoleShanahan and subscribing to her podcast on YouTube. Then have a listen and tell me what you heard? Thanks in advance and hope you enjoy it! 🙏

|content=I would like to propose a discussion. The authors of this Brookings Piece, Prof. @raylaraja and @jon_rauch have an interesting perspective. Jon Follows me. I would like to propose we discuss this in a civil and intellectual manner with the insurgents themselves.
 
I am friends with @JDVance and @NicoleShanahan and friendly with @RobertKennedyJr. I think this would be an amazing discussion. No name calling. Just people who want the best for the United States.
 
Let's get beyond the vitriol. I will say that I think this is the conversation we are all dying to hear. So I ask, could we have a discussion between any representative of @KamalaHarris's camp, and with my friends @JDVance and @NicoleShanahan with Professor La Raja and Dr. Rauch? I will personally gaurantee  that it stays civil. If you know me, you know that this is how I try to approach all things of this nature.
 
And if we cannot discuss this paper openly, let's understand why not. Is everyone too busy? There is really no good reason not to have this discussion around such an important *published* paper. So let's enjoy our free speech and have at it. The link is here:

"We need not recount here the *devastating* effectiveness with which Donald Trump’s *insurgent* candidacy *steamrolled* the traditional gatekeepers, *commandeered* media attention, and mobilized what some of his backers called his “troll army.” However, the weakening of gatekeeping was not limited to one candidate or one party. The Democratic Party establishment found itself barely able to contain the *insurgency* of Sanders, even though he was not a Democrat and he did not win a majority of self-identified Democrats except in his home state of Vermont and neighboring New Hampshire.
 
Neither candidate changed the system all by himself. Rather, both saw and *exploited* the invisible primary’s fragility. Candidates could *bypass* traditional moneymen by reaping donations online, tapping deep-pocketed tycoons, or funding themselves. They could *bypass* traditional media by using social platforms like Twitter and Facebook, and they could *hijack* traditional media by behaving outrageously. They could treat their lack of endorsements as a mark of authenticity." -Brookings (Emphasis Mine)

I believe we have been governed by a small group around Joe Biden rather than Joe Biden for most if not all of this presidency. Kamala feels like a continuation of that.
 
“It doesn’t matter who the figurehead is, the party will govern through a tiny group making the titular president less important.”
 
In which case we should want to meet,  vet and vote on who is actually going to be doing the governing. Not listening to some idiosyncratic improvisation on a talking points memo.

|content=Honestly, I’d be happy if those of you who see me as clearly actively supporting *either* Kamala or Trump unfollowed. It’s pointless to be in communication if that is what you are getting from this account.
 
I don’t understand how you think. And you don’t grasp how I think. That’s okay. We just didn’t connect. No hard feelings.
 
Be well.

|content=Wow. This is not even in the right zip code.
 
A “Trump Voter” is not a Trump enthusiast. Many Trump voters despise Trump.
 
A Trump voter is someone who has said: “the expected value of a Trump Presidency minus the expected value of a Kamala presidency is positive.”
 
I am trying to figure this out myself. For example, suppose one thinks every terrible thing about Donald Trump, including that he is irresponsible enough to risk getting us into nuclear war. Only, she also thinks he is *less* likely to do so than Kamala Harris who covered up and continues to cover up a Commander in Chief with dementia during a half proxy war involving our main thermonuclear rival,  and who herself seems installed by a primary-avoidance coup, as well as clueless and air headed.
 
Why does that voter need not to be demeaned? Maybe that person is actually seeing something Harris voters have totally missed.
 
Maybe that voter had a child whose school encouraged cutting off that kids breasts or genitals during teen years which are temporarily awkward for almost everyone. Maybe that person had a violent recidivist criminal or illegal alien rape or kill their niece while a prosecutor or border patrol did little to aggressively protect the innocent because of a progressive agenda.
 
Save your pity for the poor Trump voter. He or she isn’t necessarily below your or my level of understanding.
 
I don’t think I can vote Trump. But I don’t think I can vote for Kamala Harris either.
 
The Democratic Party, is out of its mind. We aren’t the party of the educated because we are plausibly the smarter party anymore. The educated professionals inside institutional employers simply became an interest group to be slopped at the trough. Just like hedge fund managers and unions.
 
We aren’t Anti-war. We aren’t Pro-democracy. We aren’t for a level playing field. We aren’t pro-family. We aren’t for Free Speech and against mind control.
 
We aren’t simply the good guys these days. I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you.

|content=It’s incredibly obvious. But it is so obvious that it has to be made dangerous to say it. Like “What are we doing in Ukraine *exactly*?” or “Why are we inducing children towards surgical irreversible self-mutilation and self-sterilization? or “If Epstein was a disgraced hedge fund manager in FX, who was Epstein’s prime broker and where is the history his supposed trades?”

|content=In my model, every Republican who *strongly* supports tbe “rules based international order” is at least quietly supportive of what Kamala represents over Trump.
 
This is about NATO/Trade/Arms/CentralBanking/EU/IC to them. It’s business and geopolitics. It’s not about personalities or party.
 
Trump is about threatening that order.
 
Not destroying it mind you. But potentially threatening it enough that it is forced into far more change than would occur under Kamala. Particularly with RFK jr, Tulsi, and Elon on board. None of whom is in any way a Trump Clone.
 
This is about ensuring seamless continuation of the international agreements, and was to be expected. In my opinion.

|content=A lot of Kamala supporting skeptics are asking me what I mean by “Donald Trump may not be allowed to become president again” in 2024
 
I think I am going to use this opportunity to show you why many sceptics, debunkers and educated people who reflexively and derisively target others as conspiracy theorists, are rapidly losing *everyone* smart and independent. Here goes:
 
I am suggesting that the 2024 election may be “Saved”. I am suggesting that our U.S. democracy may be “Fortified” between now and November. That right now there is a “conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes”. I am suggesting that Americans may be saved from “Russian electoral interference” by an “informal alliance” involving tech “business titans”.
 
I am suggesting that the possibility of “a vast, cross-partisan campaign” representing an  “an extraordinary shadow effort” hidden, against all odds, from public view by complicict journalists who make sure not to write stories about it and editors who spike any remaining stories that mention it until after the election.
 
In short I am suggesting that there is right now a massive “conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes”. That “shadow campaigners” are secretly engaged in work that has “touched every aspect of the election” despite the lack of any stories from complicit mainstream news desks.
 
So what has all this to do with the army of insufferable character-assassins clothed as skeptics who laugh and laugh and laugh at conspiracy theorists?
 
Well, the conspirators confessed to the above after the 2020 election cycle. That is, it is those actually running cover for conspiracies that most aggressively label and smear those trying to piece together the shadow efforts as “conspiracy theorists”. Imagine a world so perverse where *correctly* labeling an actual conspirator is turned into an act of reputational self destruction even though the conspirators will later confess and brag about the whole thing while taking open victory laps.
 
Genius no? Diabolical genius, is still genius.
 
It that sounds far fetched, pathological, improbable, and diabolical to you, welcome to the club. It does to me too. But THAT *IS* WHAT HAPPENED exactly back in 2020.
 
The conspirators still aren’t really telling the truth. But what they *admit* to while bragging and taking victory laps is jaw dropping all the same.
 
Don’t believe it? Read the confession:

|content=Now I know from experience that this will sound to the partisan camps like I have an angle. I do not. There is no money in it. No job on the other side in a new administration. I don’t know how to view this.
 
I’m obviously not pro-Kamala. I’m obviously not pro-Trump.
 
Like many Americans, I don’t see a game or a process that I recognize.
 
I’ve seen 13 previous elections that I can remember. I’m now watching something I can’t bring myself to believe. Something I’ve feared since before my essay on Kayfabe. And now it’s here.
 
So I am just saying what I think I see.

|content=What I said before the Harris v Trump debate.
 
Kamala Harris is much smarter and more capable than she has appeared as VP.
 
Donald Trump is too old.
 
The game is rigged by a nexus between legacy media like ABC and party leaders to be a closed system.
 
Donald Trump is not the same man who won in 2016. Not by a long shot. A near death experience is life changing. So is age in a world dominated by novelty and  new media.
 
Trump does not fully understand the optics of fighting with women browner and younger than himself.
 
“Optics create their own substance”
 
Or “The Optics are the Substance.”
 
————
 
I think I’m doing okay with the above. Open to being told what I am missing or can improve.
 
Just got some further encouragement for my model of this election cycle above from Donald Trump today.
 
Exactly what I have been attempting to say. Almost too perfect:

|content=The weird thing is I think Trump agrees with you Andrew. And he is innovating.
 
Perhaps that is why there is now seems to be a new concept of the “SuperTicket”.
 
I don’t think we are getting it; I’ve never seen this strategy.
 
If that’s right, then It’s @KamalaHarris / @Tim_Walz vs
The Traveling Wilburys of @elonmusk @JDVance / @TulsiGabbard / @RobertKennedyJr / @realDonaldTrump / @VivekGRamaswamy. Why do we print lawn signs with two names anyway? That’s just the kind of question. Trump would ask.
 
It’s *not* a “Unity Ticket” or a “Team of Rivals” if I am correct. Those are old ideas and I think this isn’t something we have seen before. I think he is inventing a new strategy the way a business man would. We just don’t have language for it.
 
It’s an innovation: the SuperTicket for lack of a term.
 
Here is what I sorta expect to happen:
 
Imagine if Trump at some point later this month were to give a speech and say that he knows you may not be able to support him. And that he totally doesn’t care if you *hate* him. Something vaguely like:
 
“I understand if you can’t support me and can’t vote for me. Maybe you are worried about J6. Maybe you don’t like me. Maybe you want to keep your job or your family together. I get it.
 
I’m asking for you to vote for *any* of these people as if they were running for president because I would do that if it weren’t me. We are a brain trust. Ask any of us. We are brown, democrats, male, business people, veterans, republicans, female, white. We are America. And we want to get you real and better options for next time in 2028. Younger people. People with new and better ideas. If you can’t vote for me, pick one  of and tell your world you are voting for her or him. I won’t take it personally. Thank you for risking your neck for our team and for America.”
 
I think that speech or one like it would probably solve my problem. I don’t hate Trump. I think he is shrewd. And I think he loves America. But he doesn’t sit well with me either and, like you, I don’t think I can vote for him. There is a big block that I don’t want to get into right now. But it is real.
 
I just think he has figured this out. I know half of these 6 people personally. And I would vote for *any* of them over Harris / Walz. I think if Trump is as smart as I think he is, he could be gearing up to solve Blue America’s “TDS” problem head on. Which will break every model of Trump the egomaniac.
 
He has softened and had a near death experience. And, according to math,  there are 6! =720 Lawn signs possible. You could print them on demand to say:
 
Tulsi
RFK jr
Elon
Vivek
Vance
Trump
 
Indicating Your politics are not pro Trump.
 
Look, Andy: Elon and Vivek could set that up with Trump’s blessing in an afternoon if Trump wanted it.  It would change everything as an October surprise.
 
I don’t think Trump’s ego is as fragile as last time. But we’ll just have to wait and see. And we won’t have to wait long.
 
Best,
 
Eric

But at least he isn’t pretending to think about me while texting me constantly:
 
“Hey Eric,
 
It’s Kamala. May I ask a favor from you?”
 
Let me guess. You want free labor. You want an endorsement. You want a contribution. You want, want, want. You are counting on me. I can make a difference. We are a team. We are change. We are moving forward. You need $30.
 
Do you even hear yourself?
 
I have an ask of my own: STOP.
 
I voted for you Mr President. Enthusiastically, the first time. My concerns were as invisible to you over 8 years as they are to Kamala Harris today.
 
May I make a request? Just be authentically fake. Have fun. Live a little.
 
It’s okay. You’re now rich. Enjoy the Vineyard. I’ve loved it every time I’ve been there. Just stop badgering me for free labor and $30 while lying to my face.
 
That’s all.

The LOL, LMAO, ROTFL, world is not critics as I see it. It’s bot level bs. They use words like Clown, Libtard, Commie, Charlatan
in place of having a point. I try to block them immediately so I can respond to constructive accounts. As I am doing now with yours:

Democrats are using Springsteen at 75 to give Kamala street cred with the youth.
 
Sir: Why destroy any lingering legacy or gravitas on this? It’s an unwinable point at a self-evident level. As per the above.

|content=Are you also watching the brain trust of tbe Democratic Party who lost this election, now trying to figure out HOW they could possibly have lost this election?
 
As a highly visible Democrat who never thought this was going to be close or a “nail biter”, and who said publicly that the the polls were off and that there was reason to think that preference falsification could result in a *landslide*, do you think anyone would pick up the phone and call? There is zero interest. Not one intern. Not one consultant.
 
This is exactly like String Theory. For 40 years string theorists have hermetically sealed themselves in an imaginary universe where they are succeeding because they became the arbiters in a system called Peer Review. The Lords/Peers of String Theory do not talk with, and do not listen to commoners. As a result they enter into a curricular conversation.
 
Listening to what @maddow has to say about @KamalaHarris’ part in  @SpeakerPelosi’s brilliant strategy with @PeteButtigieg to help @SenSchumer after @donlemon’s insightful analysis mirroring Joy @thereidout brutal truths following the @NPR @cnn exposes of Trumps devious plans is exactly the String theory vibe.
 
What does Cumrun say about Andy’s latest idea to build on Lenny’s insight to get around Eva’s paper showing that Ashok’s plan to use Juan’s discovery that Brian and Michio discussed recently  on the 13th anniversary of Shamit’s paper tweaking David’s original epiphany, can only work if some speculations of Cumrun are true to begin with in Euclidean signature?
 
Oh and by the way, there are no other approaches beyond String Theory, because anyone not part of this circle is a self promoter saying “only words”. We will only need another 100 years before it gives fruit

 
Well, this is what a cult sounds like. Communists build such elaborate circular worlds of internal references. As do members of spiritual, academic and religious orders.
 
My claim is that the Democratic leadership is a lucrative cult. It’s not a party. It’s not trying to win. It’s trying to serve its members and work towards winning as little as possible, consistent with first serving the personal needs of its senior leadership. It’s trying to pay its leadership in riches, prestige and control. It’s a payout system. What are all these people making financially? I don’t know. Nancy does alright. So does Rachel. But not all payment is monetary.
 
That is why their conversation is so bizarre. They need to fire each other. But the entire point of our party as they see it is to serve as a trough.
 
Take it from a pre-Dick Morris Democrat also focused on physics: the 1992 election 32 years ago brought us this madness in just the way that Ed Witten, Michael Green and John Schwarz brought us The Holy Revelation of String Theory 40 years ago in 1984.
 
The most important part of these cults is sealing out the critics as “interloping self promoting grifting charlatans.”
 
I wound love to come on MSNBC and discuss my pre-election claims that this was unlikely to be close and quite possibly a landslide. I would love to help the party fire its senior leadership. It is well past time to overthrow the party’s brain trust that leads us away from focusing on the welfare of working families, free speech, individualistic  greatness, common sense, consumer protection, fair play, and into the arms of evil and madness.
 
The Clinton-Morris era needs to end. We need a revolt to overthrow our Lords and Masters. There is now no reason these people should be at the helm.
 
None.
 
🙏

|content=Not really. It’s not a psychological thing. It’s this frustration that EVERYTHING has become team sports.
 
I’m looking to retain my independence, so the pickup game analogy is a good one.
 
I’m an individualist looking to caucus with others and frustrated by the emphasis on team purity.
 
Imagine a free soloist rock climber trying to talk to a football team about how to scale a tall building to retrieve their ball from the roof. He wants to help but doesn’t want to become a linebacker.

|content=I will say it simply. @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance have the opportunity to change everything. Everything depends on @realDonaldTrump’s use of this historic opportunity.
 
This could restore America. Or tank it.
 
To say it my way, this is the highest *variance* presidency of my lifetime. As bad as Kamala was (and you know my position) she was probably lower variance. Lower variance and much lower mean.
 
This is potentially amazing because the sky is the limit. Given the chance, I will help anyone to use this mandate to make it the best presidency it can possibly be.
 
But you can’t ask me to close my eyes to the risks. I’m just not that guy. Never was and never will be. This is incredibly dangerous as we are seated at the high stakes table now.
 
I don’t understand Americans who want Trump to fail. I think he is a brilliant man which I have always said.  But he is also incredibly divisive. I think he truly loves his country and wants the best for it. He is also very dangerous and unpredictable. And he NEEDS that unpredictability to survive. He is very strong. And perhaps he needs to be dangerous. I could be persuaded that this is necessary.
 
He learned last time that you need an sea of people to govern. He won’t make that mistake again.
 
Am I optimistic? Yes. Very. Am I deeply deeply worried? Absolutely. Very.
 
Again in my language: stop focusing on the mean. If I absolutely had to say what I am feeling, with a gun to my head I might say this is high mean, high variance, negative skew, high kurtosis.
 
As a weather report: this is a low confidence forecast of an amazing spring day with a bit more than a slight chance of apocalypse.
 
I know “But Bruh, Are you MAGA?”
 
No. This is why we have more than one moment of a distribution and not a simple binary. MAGA is a broad coalition that seats some people who I view as “unworkable”.  I can’t personally endorse a movement that tolerates that element in order to win. But I get along with plenty of MAGA People. And generally they get me. Most of them like me, understand me from podcasting, and don’t need me wearing a hat.
 
Lastly, you have no idea how desperately I want this to work. And it could be amazing. I think that is likely but with very weak conviction. As above.
 
Here to help, This is more or less what I predicted. Nothing has changed.
 
And word to the wise: mind the time *before* the inauguration. Don’t take your eye off the ball prematurely.

If you don’t like it, then why run Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris instead of a primary? You the DNC chose this and got what you surely expected. https://t.co/fipjKAnzBf
