Turns out McAfee was American, but born British. I regret the error.

@PlatnumSparkles First line: "The greatest conspiracies are open and notorious — not theories, but practices expressed through law and policy, technology, and finance."

The truly secret was kept long before the passage of a "National Security Act"—and would be kept again after abolition—because the necessity is obvious.
If you can't rely on kindred to keep your ᴛᴏᴘ ꜱᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ without the force of threats, it's not "obvious"—it's omerta. twitter.com/B_Morrows/stat…

I am skeptical that betting the political future of an entire party on "January 6th" as the enduring brand in which to invest all time and attention is going to seem as wise when elections come—in just 300 days.

@magi_jay But I do agree: decades-long wars in foreign lands with no plan and for no benefit, followed by a disastrous pull-out that leaves everyone worse-off than they were before shows that "America"—as politicians understand it—is, in fact, "back."
Nothing partisan to that history.

I keep reading these scientific papers that are like "no, a baby is not capable of consciously manipulating you" and I'm like "yes, yes, so you mean the child must be possessed by an ancient spirit."

Journalists sometimes ask, "what changed?"
Everything. Everything changed:

I've already expressed my opposition to the fighting in Ukraine, and pray it ends soon. The difference between us is that when *I* realized that sharing my thoughts on the matter did more harm than good, I found the humility to stop. Best regards.

Il est facile d’oublier, maintenant, combien de temps tout le monde s’est battu pour que cela se produise, et très franchement, à quel point il était improbable que nous puissions réussir. Quelle fin heureuse rare et extraordinaire!

I'm told by Metamask that they're working on a response to the question below. Wallet/IP records should never be retained (or shared.)
I've deleted my initial tweet, which contained an error (Infura was in fact acquired by Consensys, which also owns Metamask). Hope to hear more. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

Whether you're the President or a pizza guy, you take a risk by trusting your secret to another in a free society, because what is truly "secret" is established by consensus, not law. The concept is encoded in our very language: "to share a secret."
We've been made to forget.
