The solution to postmodernism and relativism, explained in a series of tweets. See 🧵🧵🧵beginning below.

1. Since all tyrannies are based on dogmas, that is, on fundamental statements of absolute fact, and since all dogmas are based on lies, it behooves us first to seek for truth, and freedom will not be far away. And the truth is ... that we know nothing.
2. Objectively speaking, we know nothing at all. Any system of intellectual thought--whether it be science, logic, religion, or philosophy--is based on certain fundamental ideas or axioms which are assumed, but which cannot be
proved. This is the grave of all positivism.
3. We assume, but we do not KNOW (objectively speaking), that there is a real and objective world outside our own minds. Ultimately, we do not know what we are, or what
the world is.
4. Further, if there is a real world apart from ourselves, we
cannot know what that is; all we can know is what we perceive and theorize it to be.
5. Heretofore, these evidentiary postulates, or similar ones, their matters cognate, and the objective reality of our inability to achieve 100% objectivity, have been misused and wrangled to put forth notions such as postmodernism, moral relativism, and the like.
6. I am about to postulate the way out from that, based entirely upon the assumption of the four postulates being evidentiary truths themselves.
7. To do so is by no means at all to attribute any level of philosophical objectivity or objective reality to them OR to my forthcoming postulate; we are being 100% self-consistent in that here.
8. Simply observe: what works, versus what does not.

This is what actual science does when developing a hypothesis. Actual scientific method bases its hypotheses upon what has demonstrably WORKED and withstood the test of time in doing so.
9. What derives consistent results? What proves itself in the field of application and activity? What holds together cohesively as opposed to falling apart and disintegrating into chaos?

And yet ... even chaos has its role to play ...
10. Because reality itself is a layered sandwich of order and chaos. Order is determinate; chaos is indeterminate. Therefore order is resolute in nature; chaos is where possibilities, not yet filtered or selected, reside.
11. A mind irresolute disintegrates into madness; therefore we observe "order out of chaos" to be the active principle upon which the fabric of reality is woven.
(to be continued)
Working addendum pending continuation:
(A) All religious systems lay claim upon absolute / objective truth. However, as there is no method to remove one's own subjective brain & experience from the equation, there is no way to verify said claim.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
