    The Indian edition of "A Dominant Character," my biography of JBS Haldane, is now available for pre-order. Copies ship Dec. 10. Please RT / pass the word on! (And buy!) It's also a good moment to answer the question I'm often asked: Why Haldane? [1 / n]

    Voters defending the BJP even after this vile campaign—in which ministers + CMs called for citizens to be shot—are picking undisguised hatred, violence + manipulation. You can’t hide behind a desire for economic reform or anti-Congress-ism anymore. You’re a rabid zealot—own it

    देख ये क्या हो रहा, तुझे ओ मेरी दिल्ली ढोंगी धरने दे रहे, उड़ा रहे हैं खिल्ली अब जाग तू, छेड़ राग तू घर से निकल, बुझा हर आग तू दिल्ली तू अब जाग ले, जोरों से गांठ बांध ले हर द्रोही तू पहचान रे, देश अपना अभिमान रे

    Highly enjoyable conversation with about JBS, about biography-writing, and about the most elegant sentence Haldane ever wrote.

    . spoke to me about his excellent biography of JBS Haldane, developing a paternal relationship with his subject, the lack of politically engaged, public scientists today, and what the famed geneticist would have made of race science today.

    "The process thrives on freshness and play, and it holds a sense of limitless possibility — of producing many, many things we never knew out of the few things we do know."

    "...quizzing today is... an exercise in nimble thinking, and possibly the only forum where the entirety of your life—everything you’ve ever seen, read, tasted, heard, heard of, or lived through—can be marshalled as pure knowledge."

    A friend once suggested that, while working out the correct answer to a good question, we reassemble + extrapolate what we _do_ know. It’s similar to the way we, as humans, create any new knowledge in the first place. The joy of that is unparalleled.

    Quizzing is astonishingly egalitarian: everyone in the room knows something that no one else knows. And there’s something so beautifully human about the process — even in, or especially in, the frailties of the mind. [4 / 5]

    It has become more capacious, more deductive — calling for nimble thinking, not recall. I’m forever trying to convince people that the best kinds of quizzing involve working out the answer — something I illustrate in the piece with one of my favourite examples. [3 / 5]
