Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.

Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos
de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista)

Even a man who thinks quickly should not speak faster than he thinks

I suspect that Elon Musk shot himself in the foot (he and the tycoons he recruited for the venture) when he was forced to buy Twitter for 44 billion whose market capitalization dropped to 25 billion in July and yesterday, after the confirmation of the purchase, it was in 41 billion.

He is already making another sudden change of heart when, after announcing that as an “absolutist of free speech” he would allow on Twitter everything that is not illegal, he swallow his words and writes “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!” 

And yet another sudden change of heart after saying that it would eliminate advertising (and implicitly switch to the model of charging a fee to tweeters) ended up saying a few days ago “I also very much believe that advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform you…low-relevancy ads are spam, but highly relevant ads are actually content!”

These are examples that even a man who thinks quickly should not speak faster than he thinks.
