I can at long last explain to everyone what the “Intellectual Dark Web was about”.

It was about this.

And what comes next if you the media and you the Democratic Party and You Trump and you the Tech Platforms and You the Universities don’t stop playing.
A plague on all your houses. RNC/BLM/ACAB/MSM/DNC/1619/ANTIFA/AltRight/ETC

You‘ve thwarted every attempt at Unity, Logic & Moderation that threatens your business models. You destroyed Science. Scholarship. Journalism on your way here and didn’t blink.

You see unity as THREAT
And you are right. You want to know why?? Well this is my most favorited tweet. It has nothing to do with me.

You would be better off with this wise young man as your president than either Trump or Biden. But your business models would collapse.

Well your business models suck. https://twitter.com/ericrweinstein/status/1302727217114308609
Look at yourself and your timeline. Did you fall for MAGA or was it BLM? Did you think 1619 was about history lessons? Did you think Charlottesville produced an overreaction? Did you think ACAB was subtle & misunderstood or did you explain away the “Roman Salute” “Hail Trump”.
Well, we the idiotically named IDW are still here. We‘re flawed, have monetary incentives & are fractured. But we‘re here as a force for unity. We were, mostly, the non-kleptocratic center left. Boring if you like. Academic.

But everyone of us wore a target to thwart collapse:
I don’t want a “Piece of the action”. Thus I’m out so that I can say this: DRAFT THOSE WHO STOOD OUTSIDE THE DUOPOLY. Look for people who put themselves physically at risk to talk reason. Stop bitching about the fact that everyone needs to feed families.

Or open Hell’s gates.
As for #Unity2020. It is a hair-brained idea. An embarrassment. Pathetic really. A child’s idea of a Hail Mary Pass.

But it is also not corrupt as an idea.

I have fought it since @BretWeinstein came up with it. Ask him. Yet the kid is right. But I told him it would take luck.
That Bad Luck is beginning to arrive.

@realDonaldTrump & @JoeBiden: I wish to share a speech with you. It is the speech of a man who loved his country more than his power.

That is a rare quality but it is a prerequisite in your profession.

Thank you. 🙏
I want to go back to doing mathematics and physics and see them and their extended cadre on 3 hour talk shows getting into the weeds instead of your bizarre sound bite hate economy of slogans, zingers & hit pieces.

It‘s time to retire those who have failed us. Across the board.
And at least give us this. We were right about almost everything you are seeing now. In a decent system, people who stand up and get things right at great personal risk become leaders and not punchlines.

These people need to sit in positions of power. I, myself, do not.
