who held dissident political perspectives in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. 

But we've got no information whether or not this is being coordinated with intelligence community. 

And the issue is, we don't have good jurisprudence around these major platforms.

Are these platforms companies? Public utilities? Are they natural monopolies? 

They could try to take the 'Alternative Influencer Network' they have identified off the air. 

But what would that look like? You have Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Sam Harris, etc

The way they would do that would be so visible that it would be easily seen as harassment. 

If you don't own a seat somewhere on the institutional network, you can't join that conversation. 

So nobody could tell them the Rebecca Lewis report on Alternative Influence they all acknowledged

would not make it past a reasonable middle school as a data project. 

to figure out how they're going to re-establish narrative control. 

So they created a 'shell' that they needed to fill as they have meetings and figure out what to do. 

That 'shell' was fake news. 

I didn't build the differences in, I don't necessarily like the differences but I know 

if I brought everybody from Bangladesh to US levels of prosperity, we'll have an ecological disaster

Does that mean we need to be able to stop producing? Maybe. I'm open to discussion. 

But simplistic compassion is a level of analysis not equal to the problem that presents itself. 

I don't believe I have the obligation to re-shuffle the world according to luck. 

So it's not just about that. There are certain aspects of this that are just about compatibility. 

It can evade the value judgment so we don't get into that thorny territory. 

It's not that I want American culture pristine. I am pretty excited about immigrants. 

and allowing people to play with our heartstrings against our better judgments. 

Immigration is not about having some kind of better person in your country. 

People are being lied to about immigration by immigration experts themselves! 

We cannot simply treat everybody who wants to restrict immigration as xenophobic. 

The safest thing is to have a Germany that is not self-hating but fundamentally also not self-loving

in an orgy-astic fashion. 

We need to take care of empathy at scale rather than a single, still frame. 

This is to ensure we get the maximally compassionate positive outcome. 

We're gaining a strategy to make these ridiculous perspectives funny rather than terrifying.

They are a group that wants us to be empathic in the way that they are empathic

which is to transfer empathy from everybody in society evenly and invest it in a tiny number

of people who've won the inter-sectional Olympics over oppression

and take it away from anyone else that may be worthy.

Sometimes you have to eviscerate and forcibly let someone know they're behaving really bad.
