It's been 1 month since I published my review of Softwar and Jason Lowery seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth. I suppose we should not expect a rebuttal.

Did you read it?

🤣

Someone read it on YouTube. You can find it if you search it. I would have preferred the YouTuber not inject comments but comments are made here and there

What are you talking about? Please learn to not speak in riddles.

he's gone

He's been on LinkedIn

I have yet to read it. I’m more optimistic about it though since I’ve watched a few of his talks. After that I’ll read your review!

"Review" if I'm not mistaking he didn't read the book, only some outtakes and/or summarys

Once it was fully clear to the public that the book was available without purchasing it from Amazon, the game was over. It completely dropped off the Amazon charts. It is doing better than Limpwar in the sales category though.

He’s doing stuff Lori, things

You got rugged

The rebuttal was “buy my book” 😂😂😂

The way to make this make sense is to have a panel of dudes who read Soft War and dudes who read your critique. The dudes can be substituted by women but war is generally a dude's activity.

My problem with the critics are those who have never served in the armed forces may not understand where Jason is coming from.

I have not read his work but I've listened to him many times and I have read his original work on LinkedIn before he was adopted by #Bitcoin Twitter. I've criticized him and I've applauded him.

I served in the 29th Infantry Division as a Fire Support Specialist 13F. I was the division fire support specialist and I handled fire missions, comms and field networks from the division top TOC.

Projecting violence is one thing but projecting that it's a waste of time to be violent against me is even better.

I'm backed into a pipeline of books and I would love to read Jason's book and read your critique in order to balance the misty murky machinations.

I'm inspired to respond and I hope this has been helpful. Unfortunately you may be in a club of a very small group of men and for that I'd Like To Thank You For Your Courage.

If I can be of any service, please let me know.

We've been through a lot, #UASF, #NO2X, we got out hats, etc...

But I have to give Jason's podcasts and thesis a thumbs up.

I have experience working with military "legalist"/strategist, and I get where Jason is coming from, plus where he is going with his work. I think I do.

I would argue your blog post proves more that you do not understand his work than offer a solid rebuttal.

If you want his attention, perhaps restudy his work, and rework your counter position?

Or let's break it down one counterpoint at a time here? See where it goes?

I add GMONEY here, as I think the big picture involves more people inside DoD than most like to admit. nostr:npub1p0azx5nzq2da6vjlkf5rveuc2r0zj3jhhrz6kvhlm3sd7u055s4sw3mfvl

Oh brother, Lowrey does a good job at obfuscating his lack of a coherent and supported argument with the endless prattling of analogues and technobabble.

Lowrey sounds like he wants you to have to pay harshly for every cat pic you like, and have a power grid that is weaponized to control the global population, nice.

I think he said he had a new job or something and wouldn't be online much.

Convenient. He could find the time if he wanted to

You did a good job. I watched his WBD interview a few times and I feel like he’s 70 percent there in getting his idea across. Not sure if nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx could have let him finish explaining his thoughts, or if it was just an incomplete thesis. His perspective is interesting nonetheless.

Maybe a hissy fit

It's been 2 months since my review of Softwar and Jason seems to be going with "I was ordered to stop talking about it" excuse. 🤡

No Bitcoiner is ordered to stop talking about #Bitcoin .

Go tell that to your superiors if you're in the military (i suppose he is able to talk privately, but apparently not publicly)

Of course it could theoretically be made up, but come

Ah no I see now that in a second go at it he read it, my mistake

👻

And you still sound just as childish

I understand an excuse of not talking about it. But to pull the book? There is genuinely more to it.
