Fair enough, I just compared it to de Hond’s twitter account which is just vax doubt going on and on atm. (He doesn’t seem to be a hardcore ‘don’t vax ever’ person, but he just feeds into the anti-vax conspiracy shit fulltime, and I don’t see how he doesn’t care about the effect he has on the people who listen to him).

Compared to that Nate seems to at least be ‘normal’, or constrain himself to being private, so that is good at least.

Of course compared to the Hond (77), Silver (46) is also younger, so I think we all will be amazed at how much crazier he will get when he gets older. As older age does seem to be a big factor in this, for some reason people who get pushed forward as smart/insightful lose their entire ability to listen to critical sounds/doubt themselves when they grow older and the crazy comes out. (See also how Cornel West (71) has gone a bit of the deep end lately apparently, and this. People on bsky talked about him as an example of this issue iirc).
