I keep thinking about this quote.

@jackwilliambell everyone misses a few things. In before times Twitter, Paul was bringing out obscure charts while scratching his head to try to explain what many laypeople (including me) could see was simply greedflation. To his credit he didn't double down on his charts when greed was suggested.

I've also missed stuff: I sincerely thought Twitter would be irrelevant in the world by the end of 2023. Would be a better world if it had happened, I think. Maybe France will bring it down?

@jackwilliambell the people telling us to calm down are the oppo or know they won't get hurt

@i_give_u_worms

Oh, do I believe some of them were simply trying to normalize and cling to erstwhile certainties. But, please notice the use of past tense in that sentence.

@jackwilliambell @Binder This is absolutely, positibely, 100% true. All the way from the evening of 11/08/2016 until this moment. Only vindication feels very much like a hollow, or maybe pyrrhic, victory.
