Simplified: library use has switched to provide cheap internet access (vs internet cafes) and have replaced churces as venues for civil society groups. So while membership increased, use for purpose continues to decline.

Well, john mark had more followers than Scott Adams in less than a year. There is a market for it. That market is only a form of edutainment. But it’s not sufficient for activism. Because the dumb kids make activism impossible.

Well, that right there is the problem. This is a useful platform for attracting the like-minded who may want to learn. It is not a good platform for ‘fighting the enemy in public’.

@AmyZegart Great appearance on Hoover’s Uncommon Knowledge. You represented the intel community, and educated the public, both respectably and intelligently.
– Thank you.

He also lived in a world where you were an adult at twelve to fourteen, and didn’t waste years in daycare under the pretense of getting an education. Nor did he have to fight against a century of mathiness and pseudoscience in the sciences. But yes, Leibnitz was brilliant.

You’re confusing cause and consequence. I don’t want to conduct a class here on twitter. Follow me for a while.

Being a nerd is joyful. We can learn to mirror normies, be friendly, even chit-chat. But normies can’t learn to be smart, obsessively single-minded about obscure topics. And we aren’t burdened by what normies think: what they obsessively single-mindedly concern themselves 😉

RT @LukeWeinhagen: It’s easy to start.
For most of us, ANY self-reflection represents an assessment of ignorance. Start there.

Just let me compliment you on your continued progress. you’re really getting there.
I think we all underestimate how hard this all is to learn. Getting the general ideas down is one thing. Operational langauge with strict vocabulary is a nightmare. 😉

Listening to Michael and Moritz, it’s clear that some of us grasp the foundations of math (the science of it), some of us the craft of it (how to use the tools), and some of us applied math (how to apply math in a context) but its appears that no one specializes in foundations.
