Copy of tweet @thomasviolence 9/24/17 i wonder if any high level staff at twitter have had a 5 minute chat about the entirety of global nuclear escalation happening on their app
@johnrobb "Where are the adults that got us through the Cold War without killing billions?...We're in the midst of a fight between an aggressive global network and an aggressive nuclear power that is upending the nuclear politics that have prevented Armageddon." @johnrobb

Copy of tweet thread: John Robb What do you do if the west’s network becomes an accelerationist swarm? Escalate at all costs - full speed ahead! Pray for transcendent political intervention at the planetary level? More convinced than ever that if we had our current political elite and Twitter during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the world would have ended.
