People 30,000 years ago probably had words for "day," "month," and "year," but not "week"—because unlike the others, weeks are arbitrary inventions with no connection to the natural world.

Girls should bring up astrology on a first date. Not because it’s an accurate measure of compatibility, but because it self-identifies men who are arrogant, condescending, and incapable of entertaining opinions they disagree with.

Hey @elonmusk, it seems like it's no longer possible to have a Ukrainian number verify a Twitter account/two-factor authentication. Ukraine is not in your list of countries, see our screenshot. It's vital for us to keep showing the world what's going on in our country.

🧵 1/3: I find it interesting to watch how Elon Musk crafts his persona as hero and savior through his tweets. There is an enemy: woke people. There is a rallying cry: battle for the future of civilization.

This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.

3/3 When people feel a lack of control in their own lives, they turn to fantasy figures or escapist outlets to regain a sense of power and ego strength. And here Elon Musk found his place to shine.

2/3 And then he taps into the feeling of disempowerment shared by so many. The groups of people who lack a sense of self agency and try their best to explain the unpredictability and volatility by believing in external evil power trying to control their lives.

For the crowd to be wise it needs to be decentralized, depoliticized, independently thinking and diverse. Otherwise we sink into the danger of group think.

By default, each layer of management lies to the one above it, so by the time the CEO gets a report, it can be 6-12 layers of compounded lies. The same thing happens in nonprofits and government.
