    The evolution of intelligence in humans and other great apes, estimated by blood flow to the brain. All the great apes have gotten smarter since our last common ancestor; we've just taken the trend much further.

    A friend asked me to defend technology in two tweets. Curious for critiques, or your own version. Here's mine: Society survives or dies based on its ability to sustainably grow the pie. Without a growing pie, there’s a winner for every loser, and we engage in zero sum conflict.

    I can think of few things less “lively” than rehashing a conversation about the EEA, especially since twin studies are no longer the major workhorses of psychiatric genetics. BUT lest other people be confused that this is still actually a contentious issue....

    One of the most beautiful nights under the stars. At one of my favourite places in the world, Nikkaluokta. Far from any light pollution, far from any noise. Feels like you can touch the silence and see other worlds. Close to the middle here is the Andromeda Galaxy, our neighbour.

    It's counter-intuitive, but the rationalist literary and intellectual culture that followed printing and the Enlightenment (before our current nosedive into identity tribalism) was better at understanding other times and peoples than we are now. Logic and linearity go a long way.

    One of the casualties of our intellectual discourse reverting to a tribal-oral rhetoric of simplistic morality plays and myopic crusading is the power of empathy. The oral-tribalist can't see the world but through the lens of their own folklore and hangups.

    Happy palindrome day! Not only is 02/02/2020 a palindrome no matter which way you write the date, it's also the 33rd day of the year and there are 333 days left in the year.

    "If we get a reputation as the people who fall for every panic about AI, including the ones that in retrospect turn out to be kind of silly, will we eventually cry wolf one too many times and lose our credibility before crunch time?"

    “Twitter is obviously full of the notion that what we should do is condemn those who disagree with us. What we can now say experimentally, the key to the success of these conversations is doing the exact opposite of that.”

    There has been a genre of “official misinformation” where Washington Post, Wired, USA Today, BuzzFeed, etc have posted dangerously trivial headlines comparing coronavirus to the flu. Fortunately, NYT has been publishing the science from NEJM, Lancet, CDC, WHO. Credit where due.

    Capitalism is not a coherent philosophy because it is an emergent system. This is why systems that work less well are more enticing.

    We're all going to learn a lot about how the Chinese media ecosystem actually operates from the crisis. Reason: for the first time, millions of Americans *really* want to know what's going on in China on a daily basis.

    Doomerism is doubly hostile to human life. The more resilience and vitality you have, the less despair you accurately anticipate experiencing when nasty surprises inevitably inflict pain.

    One great dividing line now is between people who realize new things are happening, and use history to shed light on them; and people who insist the same old things are happening, and use history as a bounds for what may be considered. Looking for light vs. looking for rails.

    This decade will see art flow away from the publishing houses and literary presses that try to censure it, and they will become the bare, ruined choirs where art once flourished. The gift is in motion.

    "priming white college students to think about the concept of white privilege led them to express more racial resentment in subsequent surveys. Anti-racist indoctrination actually feeds racism. So tribalism deepens"
