What is that ?
This is one of the things I keep trying to help everyone learn about but very few can be bothered to even sit back and view a video lecture for an hour. One more time. Please. If anyone wants to discuss forward thinking topics, please view the Nate Hagens lecture. And keep in mind that these are just 20 seconds each on 200 pages from his upcoming 1200 page books.

Yes, Twitter has given me a special window and consolidation/amalgamation of the most typical active mind on the internet in general. Politics only people, supporting their political tribe.
There is an incredible amount of people out there, where the "the argument" or "simply the TRUTH" simply DOES NOT MATTER. These people are COMPLETELY inspired/controlled by the political power part of the situation to a level that I think a higher intelligence mind would see as completely insane.
I realized this when using Twitter, because at least the web-client of Twitter shows you detailed stats of how people interact on the tweet, it shows you total "link clicks" per Tweet, if your tweet had a URL inside of it.
I found I could argue with some people on twitter for days, but I couldn't get them to click on any links, no matter what they were, how many tweets back and forth, or how many links there were, the truth simply does not matter to them, no matter how simple or complex the argument it was. This is tribalism, tribalism isn't in anyway about seeking facts.
I can't stress it enough, what I find truly interesting was that most people, on a level I simply couldn't imagine, refuse to click on links and would MUCH prefer to argue with you, simply forever!
I been testing with this logic for over a year now and for most people, its a lot of people couldn't give a shit about facts, its about everything else you could possibly imagine. Most people on twitter are charged up by politics only and everything is a tribal war rather than anything to do with fact-finding or logic.
Ideally, I think tribalism in this modern world, is part of low intelligence mindset. But we all have it to some degree and in different ways.
It's just like this video on tribalism over logic, this video is geared to insult republican supporters as far as I can tell but please look at it in a generic sense.
I simply love this video, in its generic message form! https://youtu.be/S74C-XF9kYY
Scott Adams I think provides incredibly good rationality on anything, but overall because he tries to ask questions and tries to simply answer them at the same time, with rationality, he has been accused of being a right-wing nazi, or things of that nature. Remember, he predicted Trump would win the US election back in 2015 https://blog.dilbert.com/2015/10/23/the-case-for-a-trump-landslide-part-1/
Here he goes over his findings of what he found going over climate change data and how scientists "moderate" the data, but his findings shocked him in this video. Until this video he was and if you watch his more recent climate change videos still is a general climate change believer.

I think as the internet "takes over" the media, the world will accelerate into better-refined views, but we are just beginning in this area.
I think any kind of "spectrum privileged" broadcast/cable/satellite media is backwards and holding us back and when IP-streaming only media takes over traditional TV, we will have generally much better-informed people. But only if the internet and censorship is left unrestricted and in the domains of "freedom of speech". I think the Freedom of Speech "war" on the internet will be the most important thing of the next few decades, because traditional elites in this world giving up power and generally finding the truth, can be one of the most infuriating things people can deal with.
I believe in freedom of speech so much that I believe what is called "fake news" like Alex Jones should be fully allowed, because over time, this type of media will go down the insinkerator as better quality internet media and the fight for truthful media will accelerate, leaving "fake news" in the dust. But this will only happen if free and open media on the internet is left to grow naturally.
Alex Jones media is generally incredibly non-educational and generally unhelpful to anyone, but ultimately the elites hated it so much they got it deplatformed. But competition has to start somewhere, and unbelievably, Alex Jones based on the viewership estimations was a base of competition for convenient access media and opinion, at least for the USA.
Ideally, people should be watching a wide range of different youtube channels for different opinions in replacement of traditional broadcast media like CNN or FoxNews which are both opinionated talk news, but maybe folks having to merely click on anything other than a single video stream is too much work.
I think if there was anything people should mindlessly and relentlessly protest for, its the end of traditional broadcast media and having it replaced with open unrestricted IP-streaming media.
People are dumb, and no one's coming to save us.
I think the western world has been merely lucky to a certain degree so far, and most people just assume things will magically just work them selfs out for the better. I completely disagree.
Half of my background is from eastern European area that was a victim of the Red Holocaust.
One of the smaller countries in eastern Europe that was taken over by the Soviet empire had about half of its entire population wiped out over a roughly 25 year period. Probably for little other reason other than for the Soviet empire to have long-term "more convenient" access to Kaliningrad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpXkBCiW8QA
This was while the western world was enjoying new technology/TV and general social living advancements, but while in another part of the world, more people were dying than the original WW2 Holocaust.
No one came to save them, ever.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_regimes
The main argued reason why the Red Holocaust is not the prefered and more frequently referenced in traditional mainstream media is merely that it happened over a longer time period that the WW2 Holocaust, and didn't have photographic pictures like gas chambers, this simply makes it a harder/less easily absorbable piece of information to reference in general.
But realistically, considering the huge death toll numbers, there is plenty of room for what some might call "conspiracy theories" on why the Red Holocaust isn't by far the most frequently cited atrocity of our modern times.
The famous professor Jordan Peterson is great on the topic of the Red Holocaust and socialism in general because he also uses it as an example of the insanity of the world and how little people know about the world in general.
The first one is generally the best one to watch.

This appears to be a preferred talk topic of Jordan Peterson https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Jordan+peterson+marxism+deaths
There is one Jordan Peterson video I saw on the topic that was great but I can't find it.
This one from another person, expert historian professor Stephen Kotkin is just as good, actually its probably the best of them all https://youtu.be/jhi2icRXbHo

Re: the Yellow Vest movement. "it’s not the gas tax that’s the problem. It’s inequality that’s the problem." https://www.resilience.org/stories/2019-01-15/inequality-and-the-ecological-transition/
This is a good article, and this is why I find the Yellow Vests so interesting, its proof that a large number of French people have royally locked onto "Economic Supply & Demand Law".
This is a law that most of the western world no matter what, do not understand the significance of. So many people in Australia like the USA brutally cheer for more immigration while complaining about low wages in their jobs. Supply and demand law DIRECTLY flows into lower paid wages when there is there is more "labour/worker supply" fighting for those jobs.
It's the same with the cost of housing, there is limited land and having more people come in from all over the world to live in the same spot drastically pushes up the cost of housing in that area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqeRnxSuLFI
The Yellow Vests have locked onto this issue on a remarkable level, it's on a level that I never thought possible, I suspect even that someone is making easily accessible/easily absorbable media is constantly reporting supply and demand law economics and fueling the Yellow Vests support, because it seems generally most people do not recognise its significance and simply prefer a completely blind fashion of complaining about the cost of living without understanding why, and even typically blame the opposite entities that they ever should.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=85&v=D_yDOmNqu9c
^Turn on subtitles/Closed Captions in this video and watch this black French guy complain about "supply/demand law" as if he had just read my post about supply and demand law.
Most of the Yellow Vests talk about this on a remarkable level. Again this is why I find this protest movement so fascinating, and I suspect Macron doesn't even understand it himself, if he does understand the situation then he is a deliberately evil man.
You can watch the Yellow Vests protests live right now.. Apparently, in France, there is a broadcast media blackout of covering the protests. But I am surprised how little they show anything about it on local media as well.

I made this meme about a year ago,it came to me when I saw the madness of the bottom pic of people wanting to wall off Trump at the same time being frustrated at lower wages, it seems to be to fit perfectly with the Yellow Vests.
We are at "iPhone version 1.0" in robot automation but its significantly going to accelerate in the coming years and the elites who are basically abusing broadcast media to demand more immigration are going to have a harder time justifying it. Especially when they claim they care about the environment, as I was saying in this post https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=62745&start=1250#p1439160
