I wonder how the smart people in the 1930s felt about the stupidity in their time? Sometimes I wonder how we ever make progress. And sometimes that progress, despite our ineptitude, provides great hope.

I really think humans seek novelty so much that we fail to notice that we only have 3 or four problems that keep recurring, but we think they’re new because the details change.

Then haul someone into court for contempt.

I'm a professional scientist best described as a drug discovery pharmacologist. I've been a scientist for 4 decades and in industry for 2.5 decades. What do you think is the most important thing I've learned? I'm gathering opinions. I think I know, and I'll post it if I get enough opinions.

The purpose of a public education is to teach people to experience the unknown as a problem they can investigate rather than a threat they must avoid.

Never trust the government. We pay the bills with our tax dollars; I want to know what I'm purchasing, and that requires documentation.

Can a president be immune from treason?

Humans don’t recognize content. We make decisions almost exclusively on human authority figures and how we feel. Until we have the discipline to understand how something works, our current (and historical) strategy will continue to fail us.

The problem with tribalism is essentially you surround yourself with people that suffer from the same cognitive errors you do.

I would like to reorganize the US society. Federal level, population level outcomes only, no individual interactions. If the feds want to arrest someone, send a warrant and request to the state police. Except for… law enforcement officers, then a separate independent adjudication system.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

We use too many words. There are over 4500 words in the U.S. Constitution, and we could probably write the document with about 150 words. Words that are unambiguous and avoid synonyms, polysemy, and contextual inference.

Aren't we still in the process of suffering the consequences of the regime change from the 1953 coup of Mosaddegh?

Politics isn't going to fix the problems we have. It can put a stop to the more egregious stupidity, but we need a different approach.

We are temporary, self-aware animals on a rock in space. This is the only life you get. Don’t waste it. Don’t damage others’. And don’t extinguish the only system we know that can understand the universe.

Apparently we’ve never had a grasp on laws. Why won’t LA enforce state law? This isn’t a jurisdictional question. It’s the police job to enforce, not make or interpret law. www.dailynews.com/2026/01/29/l...

LAPD won’t enforce ban on federal law enforcement officers wearing masks, chief says

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said the ban is “not a good public policy decision.”

Since humans took thousands of years to accept that the earth wasn’t the center of the universe, perhaps we should not be surprised that we’ve yet to grasp the concept that the law applies equally to everyone. That concept was the impetus for the Magna Carta in 1215. It’s only been 800 years.

The principle is: The environment in our shared spaces is no longer safe and predictable. And we didn’t introduce the unpredictability.

Too much media capacity.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

If the past year is an indication, we need to find another method for governing ourselves that doesn’t rely on our fellow humans to understand anything or make deliberate decisions. And one that doesn’t rely on authority to enforce decisions. Are we smart enough to find a solution?

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

It’s time to standardize and separate evidence collection into a society function, not beholden to law enforcement. We now have 70 years of the AAFS and they use established guidelines for professional behavior. Removing evidence collection from politics would yield a more predictable society.

This is why medical should have priority over every other function in society.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

We voters certainly don’t operate from a position of knowledge. Just reactions to events. It would be nice to have better functional knowledge in our society.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Then we don’t have enough professionals.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

If we were smart we wouldn’t go through this song and dance. Calm professionalism provides better opportunities than fear-driven authoritarianism.

How a problem appears and what the problem is, may be two entirely different things.

Ads are anthropology in HD. You don’t need philosophy to see what’s wrong with us. Just watch how we sell cars, banks, and breakfast cereal.

Politics is nothing more than a set of people, using regulatory capture, to try and herd everyone using fear and emotions

What do we need more power for? If we just stopped moving so much extra mass around for no reason other than preference, we’d have plenty.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

It is pretty close. But it’s not zero, so we do have a chance of stumbling into success.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

One of the ways we can affect change is malicious compliance. Legally, any law enforcement personnel may lie to you, without consequence. But you can’t. So don’t believe anything told to you by law enforcement.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

I don’t know who will come up with the next good idea. What I do know is that our chances of recognizing it are very close to zero.
