I’d just like to say to every obnoxious Reply Guy Leftist who gave me shit on Twitter for what I said about Tulsi Gabbard 4-5 years ago:
1. I told you so.
2. I’m telling you so about Jill Stein too.
Beware of developing a personal sense of ideological purity, because no matter how good or wise or well-thought-out the ideology may be, getting it entangled with your sense of self makes you an easy mark.
... and beware of ideologies in general. Study and learn from them and harvest any good ideas they have, but don't wrap it around you.

Yes. I’m of a mind that •all• beliefs about fact, process, system, or mechanism must be provisional (i.e. open to rethinking). It’s extremely dangerous to believe you’ve figured out how to solve the world’s problems •with certainty•, because it opens the door to prioritizing hypothetical, uncertain utopia in the future over real, predictable harm in the present.
@inthehands @vashbear wait, how did this get from 3rd parties to AI?
