Earlier tonight, Elon Musk suspended my Twitter account. I only had three tweets live on my account when it was banned. Two were promoting my social media profiles on other platforms (follow me on TikTok and IG @taylorlorenz!), and one was the tweet below where I asked Musk for comment.

There’s a burgeoning world out there of people creating a richer ecosystem of niches in which science can thrive. There are many research projects that are not supported by the current ecosystem.
Hey, it’s been quite a while since I made a new post. I have been furiously working on finishing my fourth book and it’s going to be great if I can push it across the finish line. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience. I’ve also been incredibly busy with Friends of the Brothers, and having a blast playing the music of the Allman Brothers Band with this great group. Last week we played the Peach Music Festival and the great Maplewoodstock, the two festivals that mean the most to me.
According to his interview with Richard Haier, Lex Fridman got a perfect math SAT score and a decent reading score. Given that both me and Anatoly Karlin coincidentally have the same SAT score of 1510, I’ll just guess that’s his score too for shits and giggles. Using the same mean and SD that I used for Scott, that translates to a z-score of roughly 2.65. He also has a PhD in computer science, which is roughly in the 97th percentile of educational attainment, which is an eduttainment z-score of 1.
