I do care about Elon’s hand gestures as I keep an eye on the common sentiment in the world around me so that I know when a place has become dangerous and I need to leave it. (...perhaps a Jewish trait 🤷🏻‍♀️😕)

But what really fascinates me here, and keeps me posting about it, is watching how human tribalism and our tendencies to be swept up in the madness of crowds impacts our ability to see and interpret the world around us.

Watching the changing tides of sentiment, the changing “collective unconscious”, is both terrifying and absolutely mesmerizing.

...also the memes are hilarious!

especially up close.

of course, i have my own bias, but i try to keep a healthy distance from the outrage of the day—it's emotionally exhausting.

when you see it affect close family and friends... terrifying and mesmerizing is a very good way to describe it.

He was saying my heart goes out to you as he said it. He bans anyone who critizes Israel on Twitter. Thinking he's a nazi is a denial of reality

I think a really good bullshit detector is the skill that will separate the wheat from the chaff in this new era of history. My bullshit detector goes off so hard when I see this nazi salute nonsense.

Every sovereign individual absolutely needs to be vigilant about shifting political winds and be ready to bounce when the winds shift too hard in the wrong direction, exactly as you said (🎯).

But watching the political tribes have conniption fits over soundbites and tiktok video clips is the noise. You must interpret the signal through the noise. This ain't it.

Also recognize when people are trying to intimidate you. Fascism starts with mental slavery.

And psychological torture
