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. 

But the sensible women I've talked to so far are terrified even as they're in positions of power. 

I'm glad you said that. One woman, I spoke to mentioned to me, "I've never been afraid of men." 

I asked her what she's afraid of and she said, "I guess what I'm afraid of is weak women." 

I have learned painfully that I have more in common with Center Right than Radical Left. 

This idea of reaching across the aisle and saying, "You take out your trash, I'll take mine," 

is a very important move that is not happening. 

Disagreeability needs to have a massive warring comeback. 

This is absolutely critical and we need accountability. 

Worry about the tiny amount of people who break new ground for everybody. 

the way you and I would fight for our work because it's not necessarily fun. It's unpleasant. 

One for the public that is not necessarily good for the median communities, 

and a private conversation among themselves that serves a certain group of interests. 

It's reprehensible. Smuggling ideology under the guise of compassion. 

The fact that male and female are one protein away from each other 

and we're treating each other like separate tribes is absolutely insane! 

We have to be the ones to say to them, "Let me steel man your point. 

'You're making a terrible version of this argument, I can do better and you're welcome!"
