    Just finished reading new book, (which I started Friday night). Was definitely a page-turner. I especially like the very careful theoretical analysis, which alone throws massive doubt at the idea that humans are fundamentally gullible.

    Yeah this is why I’m often skeptical of theories of morality that posit welfare-benefits for the group kind of explanations.

    Been thinking this for awhile, strategy of coordinated support against the common enemy: “It matters hugely whether a Democrat wins, it matters much less which Democrat wins...Democrats should unify, enthusiastically, behind whoever gets the nomination.”

    Considering Charles Murray's new book comes out tomorrow it's good timing that this little side-project I took on (in the middle of my comprehsensive exams!) just came out.

    "Doctors in Wuhan...have come in for criticism, but the signs are that they promptly sounded an alarm about an unusual cluster of cases of pneumonia...Chinese scientists quickly isolated the pathogen and shared its genomic details with the world."

    This has to be the most amazing building in Bradford and shows the wealth the city once had! The old Wool Exchange is now and they've done a brilliant job of preserving this building.

    This is a must read: For 3 days Iran's military knew they had accidentally shot down an airline of 176 people filled with "Iran's best and brightest," tried to cover it up from their own people and government, and tried to blame it on the West. Wow.

    Whoa, common sense! "I assure you that most Chinese don’t mind. We appreciate it when outsiders incorporate elements of Chinese culture into their lives. The idea of 'cultural appropriation' is silly."

    Throwing more computing power into a purely empiricist process won't create the kind of genuine understanding a system like the human brain has: "GPT-2 is both a triumph for empiricism, and...a clear sign that it is time to consider investing in different approaches."

    Evidence suggests that when captive great apes are presented with low and high quality foods they can integrate spatial info into their pointing behavior, adjusting for distance and location, but fail to integrate the perspective of the human addressee.

    Great read. Some of this reminds me of Irv DeVore and Tooby’s Cognitive Niche theory in terms of the coevolution of coordination, language/sophisticated communication, and reasoning.
