Gotta say, after watching tonight's stream, I feel bad for Whick.

Whatever Destiny showed him as evidence, he seemed pretty affected. So far as I know, Whick has been doxed before, so I don't imagine it was just a dox. At some point during the stream, he characterized what he saw as 'evil'. Destiny, Dan and even Hutch have resources to make security concerns at least a little less overwhelming.

We've kicked his ass pretty hard at times as a community, but he seems like a good dude. Takes balls to put stuff like that together when he's gotta know it puts him on the wrong side of some pretty awful people.

Anyways, just wanted to say I noticed. He has a sub coming form me.

Here's what I don't understand about Pisco.

Why is he spending his energy (and looks to be doing the same thing this morning) on the word centrist? Why is he fighting Hutch on this? He's already basically given on the fact that Lorenz was using centrist as a pejorative.

Why wouldn't he weigh in at a much more productive spot? For example, he could absolutely provide some insight into what is plausibly in a 501(c)(4) contract. He's (at least to my knowledge) remained pretty silent here. He has the background and experience to do research here and come up with an answer. Why is he instead posting pictures of dictionaries?

So, why? Is there a plausible mental model of Pisco that makes any sense at all? The worst reading is he's just trying to run cover for Lorenz. That really doesn't feel right, but then I can't explain why he never jumps in on the other side of the argument.

Thoughts?
