@RVAwonk Hello: great article on Walk Away and Russian bot amplification. I’ve been working for 18 months on a project called #DemocratToDeplorable. It has been successful (in my eyes) and my book on the subject is selling quite well for an independent release.

1/x
@RVAwonk When I saw the Walk Away hash tag explosion, I had a feeling something wasn’t quite right. I’ve been in this market space for a while, I’ve been amplified by large organic accounts, and I have a feeling for how engagement works on this subject.

2/
@RVAwonk thank you for your work on this subject. It was quite detailed and I learned a lot. Well done.

If for follow ups on the same subject you would like a comparison of what a successful real grass roots hashtag campaign looks like, check out #DemocratToDeplorable

@RVAwonk one point of contention however. You waived away the notion of a former Dem leaving the party for Trump as preposterous.

Facts are that nine million obama voters ditched the democrats to vote Trump.

I wrote the definitive book on the subject

@RVAwonk If you’re genuinely curious about the subject, check it out.

Thanks again for the medium article. It was excellent.

What are you complaining about?

You're using alcohol and charm to convince someone to give you information they shouldn't.

And now you're upset that he wants to hit on you?
Again - this isn't a "colleague" this isn't her "boss" this isn't anyone she even works with. This guy is a dude she is seducing for information, plying him with alcohol, pretending to be his friend, when all she wants is information from him.

And the she complains when it works
What bothers me about this is that this women is manipulating the guy, then complaining about it being effective.

All her followers think she was sexually harassed!

Guys - if you respond to a woman's seduction - you're a harasser!

Alright y’all. I’m headed down to the Mall.

I ain’t gonna miss this historic shit show.

Stay tuned.
Not gonna lie. My heart rate is up and my stomach is twisted.

Anticipating a deluge of human energy hitting me in about twenty minutes.

Also, no way for me to hide my identity either. Who knows what’s gonna happen.
Antifa set shit on fire and destroyed all kinds of property after the inauguration.

This SCOTUS appointment is arguably as impactful if not more so bc of the tenure.

Wonder what the reaction will be on the streets.

Will we see black bloc show up?

I didn't know @archillect was a synthetic intelligence. Wow.

This article speculates on how synthetic intelligences may or may not be able to endure fame, especially if their appeal lies in taste making / curation.

As @archillect becomes more famous and engaged by a mass audience rather than niche, her ability to ID interesting trends in visual tastes decreases.

This is a fascinating parallel to how mass culture subsumes subcultures and denudes them through appropriation.
Mass culture values subcultures and niches.

Yet adoption of underground ideas/arts/music/trends invariably leads to stripping the subculture of the value which first made it appealing to early adopters - and thus the masses.

The sad irony of subculture evolution.

In two years I’ve gone from an anonymous account with 0 followers, to a semi-public figure touring college campuses across the country.

I don’t talk about mindset very often, but I do lead by example.

Set outrageous goals and force yourself to rise to the challenge.
I promised I’d write a book even though I’d never done it.

I promised I’d tour the country, even though no one had ever asked me to speak.

And now I’m getting offers to do political consulting…

All by having a vision and working tirelessly towards it.
I'm seriously blessed. I have a small but solid donor base who is funding my travels.

I have amazing readers who are loyal and loud.

And I couldn’t do any of this without all of your support, so thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

It was an honor and a privilege to meet @JonHaidt last night. I cite his work heavily in #DemocratToDeplorable. I gave him a copy of the book as he signed my copy of Righteous Mind.

Told him I was speaking at Evergreen. His advice: read How to Win Friends and Influence People.
I asked him a tough question: "now that the implicit bias test has been debunked, what does that mean for Righteous Mind's main thesis?"

He said that did in fact have to go back and make some changes to both Righteous Mind and Happiness Hypothesis now that the IAT is bunk.
But Haidt seemed confident in his original idea which is that we're ruled by emotions rather than reason.

I tend to agree with him.

Still, the IAT is garbage which should be lit on fire and tossed in a dumpster.
