Appeals on Twitter are a joke, just like the Nazi joke of placing "Arbeit Macht Frei" over the gate to the Auschwitz Death Camp. Twitter staff never reads the appeals, and they never happen. The only option you have as a Twitter subscriber is to "roll over".

Talking about rational science with the approval of the cliquey superficial grade B-minus kids working at Twitter is just about as strategically sensible as walking up to those same petty kids in the school yard to interrupt their snake gossip and talk about rational science.

Leave them to their acidic world and build a space elsewhere that transcends what they are able to fathom.

Firstly I want to commend James on upholding free speech. I love free speech preservationists! Now to a point that might incur your dissonance - we have to learn to live as sovereigns as opposed to slaves. Now try to stay with me on this...we have no models of individuals as sovereigns so we have to model it ourselves. Demanding that twitter do things your way or our way or any way but their own way, only buys into the paradigm of slavery. Slavery means doing things someone else's way. What we do as sovereigns is show them our displeasure by not putting our content on there. Give them a bit of a schlapping as well by only using it to piggyback on their platform to send followers to your preferred platform. Don't give them your content if they are going to dishonor their agreements. I mean R-E-A-L-L-Y - they already have all the advantages in their favor, they call all the shots. Don't be patsies, respond with your own action - because if you go along with them even though you think they are unethical, then you are essentially condoning it and entering into the agreement. Stand for your own ethics before crying for others to change. I don't wish to offend, but this is essentially what is happening - keeping yourselves in the state of children asking mommy and daddy to be kinder to you. No. Just use them as a springoboard and get off twitter and facebook. Do the same for facebook, just use them as a springboard and get your followers to know where your content is and get used to going there. Touche! We will have them eating out of our hands.

I think Toby said it best recently. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are nothing more than CIA mind control.

Dr. Jack, I was able to access your knowledge and opinion on Google two years ago before they battened down the hatches. Never could figure out the allure of Twitter. Doesn’t it employ the same type of algorithms as FB? Will forward your Substack to friends and ask them to subscribe.

Yes, Twitter has a Communiwty standard and that standard is to spread misinformation and suppress factual information.

Hi James,

I was banned from Twitter for six and a half months. I was thinking, who cares, yet it had an impact on my blog readership. I sent numerous appeals, one of which was successful. The problem is that people are lazy. I have 23K followers, some of whom may be bots, but there are a lot of active tweeting accounts, however my blog, Substack, and Telegram channel are followed by far fewer people. They were aware that I would be banned, and I told them to follow me on other channels and nothing... Twitter is still visible on Google and still have huge influence. We should make advantage of it. Making people do things like challenge their governments that spend their own money and use it to harm them, or even share or follow is another story. They should understand that the few of us who know what to do can't accomplish anything without them. Their lives are totally their responsibility! There are no superheroes. It gets me to thinking actually about how deeply brainwashing show business is since it consistently portrays problem solving as belonging to a single person with superpowers. Perhaps people believe that someone will just arrive and everything will be OK. Perhaps living this way is more easier, but what kind of life is that? Of cattle?

Cheers, Lidiya
