i know that seems counterintuitive, even obviously wrong, to some of you. but in the real world of unimaginably complex systems full of billions of agents pursuing distinct goals, the truth is often counterintuitive.

Yep. And as counterintuitive as this may sound, Jeffries constantly being at war with the NYC left is precisely because he knows they can go after him

one of the hangovers of the early 21st century obsession with TED talk, Freakonimics style science-ism is the impulse to assign higher epistemic status to counterintuitive evidence and (cleverly, as you will) ignore obvious and straightforward observations
you know what was in retrospect a huge story that the political media mostly missed? no kings.
the savvy take was that the protests had no juice because so many of the protesters were old.
seniors are by far the highest voting propensity age cohort.

I'm actually pretty sure I know how to do it, it's just super counterintuitive

It may sound counterintuitive, but here’s my talk about why secret ballots (whether legally binding or just a straw poll) can help break the logjam in our politics.
Here’s a 2010 talk I gave at the Vail Symposium outlining how a secret ballot could help depolarize the political Third Rail when voting on controversial issues like marijuana legalization where politicians believe one thing in private but vote the opposite in public. Let them vote their conscience.

Using a secret, nonbinding, straw poll can rescue our hyperpolarized politics.

yea, early voting is best but chastising people for voting *ON* election day is stupid and counterintuitive.

This is not that counterintuitive.

the vote we're all waiting on and won't see until 11/18 is mostly rural, and it might seem counterintuitive but in AK that's gonna heavily skew Peltola. I did the math on the first dump and she was behind ~5K after collapsing 2s and 3s, but there's a lot more than 5K vote outstanding.

ever think about how counterintuitive alcohol is as a drug? You ferment fruit in the right proportions for the right amount of time plus other steps in the right order at the right intervals then store it the right way, just seems so much harder to arrive at than "what happens if I eat that plant"

It's counterintuitive that the very OCR that I can use to create alt text can't be used by screen readers, yes. Sucks. However, till that changes, put in the text from the screenshots, dangit! Either you can use OCR in Bluesky app, or copypasta.
This is before we get into text blocks which can be cut and pasted from the source. (The lowest hanging fruit, so often unreached for by people whose literal job is conveying information.)
Little known fact apparently: text in image format is not readable by screen readers.
