“Creation of a thing and creation plus full understanding of a correct idea of the thing, are very often parts of the same indivisible process…” (Feyerabend: “Against Method”)

Have you considered that maybe—just maybe—it isn’t about you?

#sensemaking

Never forget Republicans.

Never forgive Democrats.

My $0.02.

We—hoomuns—know so little.

#sensemaking

We all gotta grow, change, and find new tribes.

I’m not adversarial toward any movement.

I am just not interested in being collateral.

The beautiful thing about not wrapping your identity around any given cult, movement, or politician is the absolute liberty to say what you think, believe what you say, and do what you think.

Liberty and freedom are not the same.

“People who care about others” are the downfall of Western civilization.

It is written.

Per the historically-accurate Homer.

Remember, Epstein thought Trump was an awful person.

apocalyptic theology + willingness to destroy existing order + no exit velocity once committed, that’s a bold strategy, Cotton

#sensemaking

There is no coherent eschatological grifting strategy that writes off trillions of military-industrial investment, in order to expel Jewish people from the Greater State of Israel in order to invite Jesus to return for the Second Coming.

Creepy weirdos are Daesh levels of batshit insane.

@jalefkowit

#WordsMeanThings and #sensemaking is downstream from the colloquialism and vernacular #meaning as #VerbalMemes ricochet around the mainstream #BodyPolitic and #subcultures.

This is what it looks like when one cabinet-level federal government agency (the Department of Justice) throws another—Department of Interior—under the bus.

Those are tire tracks on the back of DOI.

What Creepy Weirdos offer is faster execution at the cost of accountability.

Creepy Weirdos market competence more than they actually deliver.

Is the problem that democratic #government is slow, or that it’s opaque about its slowness?

#sensemaking #accountability

It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno’s.

It’s not you, it’s me.

The negative parallelisms aren’t in your imagination, they’re ubiquitous for a reason.

The transcendental Ineffable knows all the hairs on your head, but also has a stopwatch to measure time and needs a translator to understand prayers in a specific language.

Okay, sure, Bob.

#sensemaking #storytelling

It’s a lot easier to build strawman arguments against people who abandon reason and core values.

Have you tried steelman arguments against someone committed to relying on first-principles?

There’s not a lot of us.

#sensemaking

There are always creepy weirdos the law protects but never punishes and The Others™ whom the law punishes but never protects.

#sensemaking #WilhoitsLaw

Every political faction in America believes the same thing: everyone who disagrees with them has either been fooled or is actively working against their own interests.

Nobody thinks the other side might believe something different, just as strongly and just as honestly as they do.

#sensemaking

Confusing times are also clarifying.

#history #sensemaking

Hellenist or Hebrew

Arian or Catholic

republicans or monarchs

parliamentarian or Puritan

Democrat or Republican

If you think the Three-Fifths Compromise was not the start of so-called “identity politics”, then your ability to understand #American #history is retarded by your ego, heavily weighed down by sunk costs, and tightly wound up with motivated reasoning.

#sensemaking

Forgiving the broken people who raised you helps you to understand and grow.

#sensemaking

Knowledge without the power to act is sophisticated helplessness.

#sensemaking

Getting emotionally invested in political candidates is the past-time of people without serious hobbies.

Wrapping your identity around flawed human beings will almost always blow up in your face.

Unless experiencing continuing, on-going ego death is your happy place.
