A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

Israel admitted it bombed a wedding in Gaza and killed 7 but nobody in the UK or Australia or anywhere else will clamor to ban the phrase "Israel has a right to defend itself"— again I have to wonder why.

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House
As people comb the Epstein files for some crime they can get Trump on I’m thinking about how he was found with boxes of stolen top secret files in his possession and somehow that ended up being impossible to prosecute.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials.

Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

If debate is an end in and of itself, then anything that threatens to settle the debate is censorious. If the truth is threatening to settle the debate, then the truth must be suppressed so that free debate can continue.

Do people remember being taught to read? I’ve been thinking about this and I have absolutely no memory of not being able to read.
I really don’t want to start discourse and have no real reason to doubt the research showing it’s less effective overall, but I’m of the generation taught the whole word reading method and I feel like it was fine for me?

Once conflict automatically reduces visibility, it kind of seems like consensus simply becomes an artifact of tooling
