    I also think Twitter seems best as a public protocol. But while Elon Musk's wealth makes it possible, the trade-off is a severe loss of trust given his public hostility. A public good needs leaders inspiring public trust. He could find better people to control it. Will he try?

    Replying to @jack
    In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

    This is shocking. The fears and prejudices about trans people have been a distressingly global phenomenon but have an increasingly sinister bent in US politics. This latest move requires alarm bells ringing.

    Thinking the title of the film "2 Fast 2 Furious" seems like a parody of itself while also being the best representation of the thing it’s parodying. Is that even ontologically possible? Has to be a philosophical premise already. (I'm avoiding stress about political conflict.)
