  • We do need to protect people from the wrong opinions clearly. I was a free speech absolutist for most of my life because I was working on the false assumption that most other people thought like me. That people as a group were dumb but an individual person was smart. Or at least, reasonable and compassionate. It’s clear now that the idiots will just shout nonsense and if they do so loud enough and for long enough the ‘normal’ people in the middle listening on the sidelines will adopt it into their core values and be immune to reason or rationale otherwise.

    These people can be convinced to think and do anything using logic which is barely coherent. Centralised moderation isn’t going to fix it but we need to figure out how to collectively censor this poisonous mind virus or it’ll tear us to shreds.



  • Oh I was assuming based on all the other stuff.

    Luigi Mangione had 286 Tweets

    He posted a photo of the 286th Pokémon

    His cousin follows 286 people on Twitter

    The “denial code” 286 is when the appeal time limits for a healthcare claim are not met

    He was caught at a McDonalds "286 miles away”

    Seems odd to plan all that and stop 2 dozen words short.
