The Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (The DISC)

What is the DISC?

The distributed idea suppression complex (The DISC for short) is a concept invented by Eric Weinstein that is heavily discussed in episode 18 of The Portal.

This is the DISC:
Don’t ask your questions.
Don’t admit you don’t understand.
Don’t question experts.
Don’t listen to heterodoxy.
Don’t associate with iconoclasts.
Don’t befriend the other party.
Don’t criticize your own fringe.
Don’t self-promote.
Don’t be gauche.
Die silently.
-Eric Weinstein
