A Crisis Of Leadership: No One In This Group Of Friends Stepped Up To Decide Where To Eat clckhl.co/CPDA5mB

batsignal to Decoding The Gurus Arthur Dent @etvpod.bsky.social Chris Kavanagh where are the Weinsteins & Lindsay?

Excellent thread on propaganda. Hope Jennifer Mercieca is at the BLUE place has a chance to see. This also reminds me of Etai and colleagues' broader & more neutral sense of "conspiracy theory".

Btw if you enjoy Chris Kavanagh and Arthur Dent’s podcast, you’ll probably dig this book Right now it’s discussing intellectual arrogance where people believe the only things they can learn comes from their own genius mind

Agree completely and I hope you'll try to have Michael Lynch on your podcast. Michael has a great talk with a lot of concepts from the book you can find on Youtube if you search his name and PERITIA.

@pankisseskafka nope. (from a doc)

@pankisseskafka we don't call y'all patients for nothing. ;-)

@TimothyNoah1 They'd probably own the Sisyphus, but not the glum. Camus says we must imagine Sisyphus happy & they'd probably agree. Me too.

@TimothyNoah1 Their passion for popularizing intellectual history was a gift for me growing up. If I heard from them all the time, though...

@TimothyNoah1 your take re: reaction to it as a Veblenesque shibboleth take is essentially right. Still... you didn't see it wMiranda. ;-)

@TimothyNoah1 should our next Prez die in office, I look forward to seeing these on the gold-plated caissons.

@TimothyNoah1 Great song & comparison. Trump admin. makes me think of his Rednecks- "college men from LSU, went in dumb, come out dumb too"

@TimothyNoah1 btw, congrats on your grammies, Noah, from a two-time LSU grad. ;-)

@TimothyNoah1 sorry. Bad attempt to say you bear a bit of a resemblance to a certain singer-songwriter.

@TimothyNoah1 Not too bad by our standards. My favorite Tauzin line comes to mind - "Half the state is under water. The other half is under indictment."

@TimothyNoah1 Interested to learn that page that Russia (natch) has a "FOAB".

@TimothyNoah1 Rumors have it Trump ordering "Grandfather of all Bombs" in response, which is powerful but prone to forget where it left its keys.

@Palchez southpaw bye What's more, the south would've also been a republic.

@TimothyNoah1 probably both. some saved themselves from primaries & others jeopardized themselves in general. Scylla & Charybdis.
