    Alright I’m going to take ’s bait 1 like = 1 take on Trump 😬 The takes might be hot, the takes might be cold, but the takes will be correct.

    Do travel restrictions contain pandemics or not? Case study: the Black Death. Travel between the steppe hordes and Russian principalities was forbidden. Despite being neighbors, the Black Death didn’t jump between them for *5 years* - it had to pass through Europe first.

    I've long since forgotten the first person to tell me I was onto something, and will never ever forget the first person who sent me $1000 to pursue it.

    Everyone on this website is certain about everything, until you try to get 20-1 from them on a bet about it.

    Because I introduced the trolley problem as "the trolley meme," my students are more engaged in moral philosophy (i.e., they send me trolley memes)

    Watching nCoV discussion unfold, I’m starting to really like the peer review model of rapidly publishing on arXiv, and hashing out issues via social media. It makes “peer review” look increasingly like the unfair (and fatally slow) ancient process that it is.

    As a society, we need to have a discussion about when it is appropriate to stop all international travel for the sake of humanity. Is it a virus with a 3% fatality rate, growing exponentially? If not that, then when?

    It appears the Wuhan lab was actively studying bat coronaviruses. I still think genetic engineering is very unlikely, but the possibility this is an escaped pathogen is more plausible now:

    1/ Did you know that Vannevar Bush (you know, the guy who helped enable everything from radar to the manhattan project, the NSF to memexes) wrote an autobiography? Turns out that yes he did, it's been out of print since the 70's, and it's *excellent* BOOK REPORT THREAD

    Two journalists block your path to epistemically sound knowledge of current event. One tells only lies. The other tells only truths that are designed to mislead you.

    Huh. I used to think English had lost its noun declensions (vs German retaining them) due to creolization, but I was studying Frisian just now and realized they *also* lost their declensions. Did the roots of this change begin far earlier?

    I highly recommend the 538 Politics podcast on women running for office. It’s an hour of short clips from 97 female politicians, and it runs the entire gamut of experiences. I love the format, and found the clips very moving.
