Look at the date. Feb 5, 2021. Team Biden made it an immediate priority to dismantle terrorism sanctions vs the Houthis. They got started during transition and had it wrapped up in a couple weeks. Now the Houthis are shooting down US drones.

I couldn’t believe my ears. LBC presenter @_NatashaDevon indulging October 7 denial on air. Made me very uncomfortable. Luckily the caller had her wits about her

Bloody hell! Very important nuance of WW2 history.

@havivrettiggur Haviv, they are part of a long tradition that includes Jacob Frank and his followers who verified to Christians the blood libel that Jews murder little Christian boys to make matzohs. JVP is a pathology long present among a small segment of Jews, not a political movement.
This is actually deeply sad. That they weaponize their Jewishness against Jews is less worrying than the sheer gaping chasm of Jewish ignorance they display at every turn - ignorance of their history, ignorance of their religion, ignorance of which direction Hebrew is written.…

Coptic Christians have been attacked in Egypt after they were given permission to build a new church. A huge mob invaded their village, vandalized it, but down building and assaulted locals. There won’t be a protest march in London
Why is cosplaying Bizarro-Jews a thing? Overlapping with AsAJews, I suppose. Fritz Löhner-Beda's wrote poems pre-WW1 satirising Jews bending over backwards to pass as Christian antisemites, not fooling anyone but themselves. read.amazon.co.uk/kp/kshare?asin… The Pattern can twist people…

Environmentalism alone has the power to take some of the most moral and charming people (Irwin(s), Attenborough) and render them misanthropes. We belong to the Earth? Disgusting. The Earth is an indifferent rock and the biosphere is an indigent hell of torture and rot.
It’s reprehensible to slur people who agree that climate change is happening as being guilty of “climate denial” because they advocate a different policy response to the one you prefer.

When I submitted my Master’s thesis in Cambridge 10 years ago, about Jewish refugees from the Arab world, it came back with this comment. Tragically, it’s hard to imagine academics being so open-minded in today’s hostile climate.
the first thing they did when they set up a "liberated" zone was to establish border control
Ben-Gvir and his daughter were injured when his car turned over after running a red light and while he was not wearing a seatbelt. His armored car bashed into that of a law-abiding citizen who was driving on a green light. The citizen was injured, as you can see in the picture.…
In the last month, we’ve seen Israel withdraw all but one brigade from combat ops in Gaza (as a pre-Rafah move, admittedly); Hamas have admitted they invented 11,000 of their reported casualties; the President of the ICJ has rebutted “plausible genocide”; and Gaza has been…

@DavidDeutschOxf You are a constant source of interesting things to read and to watch. Thank you!
Truth bomb below.
@alexandrosM The West is different from, and better than, all previous civilisations in this and several more fundamental respects too. This is quite hard to fathom, even in some Western subcultures, but it's the most important fact in the human philosophies.
@DavidDeutschOxf Good reminder that we don’t even have a good grasp on what happened in the past, even relatively recently, when there was already plenty of documentation.
@sameerghiasi @DavidDeutschOxf How do you know what the truth is?
@DavidDeutschOxf You're not alone, David. We hear you.
Social media. Processed food. Staring at screens. Like with children, the presumption is that these👆are bad bc ppl want them, and bogus research is sought to show why, rather than presuming they’re good because ppl want them.
It creates what people want. Yet long before this culture war, there was a dark tradition *in the West* against people who want. If they want it, it must be bad. It's strongest in child-rearing, but present in every opposition to liberty, markets, democracy and the Enlightenment.
@DavidDeutschOxf Good engineering is as close as it gets to magic :-)
I believe someone could take all of David Deutsch's podcasts and do a book like @EricJorgenson did with @naval Everytime I listened to a new one, I'm astonished by how much new ideas he shares or (more often) misconceptions he corrects. Thanks for doing them @DavidDeutschOxf

I love Professor David Deutsch, he is the most intelligent, open-minded person I know on the internet. I believe his public engagement is the most organic of all big thinkers I see on the internet. I love him for his critical thoughts on the "education system".
In an irrational education system, those who can best game the exams come out on top. Those who are actually competent can make it too but not as well. In an irrational electoral system, those who can game it come out on top, and those who are competent do something else.
@KevinSVanHorn @DavidDeutschOxf @Jacklaclaque Maybe because he’s fallible guessing… the way all knowledge is created…
