  1. Quite so: in a free venue one apparently has a multitude of half -baked opinions, spin, outright lies, and a modicum of facts to choose from. In a controlled situation like Russia, you apparently have many voices but only one lie to choose to ignore or believe.

  2. I think you made some valid and some interesting point. Except the one about Peter's age being the real reason for his attitude. Like Bill Maher espouses: ageism is the last hold-out of prejudice. With the amount that Peter walks and the funds I imagine he has the ability to allocate, he may be around for centuries if Kurzwell's predictions run true to form, and so far they seem to be. I like Peter's input on geopolitics based on demographics and geography, but when it comes to innovation and technological progress and it's repercussions, I tend more toward Tony Seba's views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eJKTYc_v-I&t=387s I personally never liked Twitter. Perhaps because like yourself I find it stifling to be limited to a small number of characters. I ditched facebook a few months after I got on it, when a friend in the IT tech explained the extent of their inference engines to me a decade or so ago. I still do use their local marketplace feature, but that's it, and I now have all their trackers and impossitions on my privacy defeated. I never use google search, only duck duck, and always use a VPN for everything, both on my PC and phone and have since they were first availible (Nord being the best I have come across) YouTube is my only indulgence and I have their off-site trackers and inference engines gelded. And of course I never see any ads on YouTube or I would not use it at all.

  4. That is exactly the reason I never became interested in Twitter.
