    I'm hiring a researcher to help me with my newsletter, my Callin show, and my freelance writing. Mostly the newsletter. $32/hour, 15 hours a week. A solid grasp on basic quant skills is an absolute non-negotiable prerequisite.

    If you haven't mastered this chart, including the precise numerical angles and curves of all the lines, do NOT bother listening to the next 25 episodes of BARPod

    Jeffrey Epstein Twitter is like Glen Beck's blackboard. Lots of arrows, some relationships legit others tenuous, slathered in innuendo, all of it conceived on crack.

    2/ Here is 's article. Not required reading but you'll get more out of the room, or at least my introduction, if you do. I've been noticing this stuff FOREVER in my circles and I'm glad French laid the problem out so eloquently.

    1/ Tonight on I'm gonna do a little spiel about David French's concept of the "process foul" as a useful way of shielding ourselves from the truth, then I'm gonna take your questions about whatever. 7:00 pm Eastern

    If you want to judge whether a publication pays enough attention to an issue, the Scientific way to do that is to see what is on the homepage right at this moment. Especially if it's a publication famous for its culture and lifestyle coverage. This is sound media criticism.

    Replying to @NathanJRobinson @EricLevitz
    In fact, let's see how much attention NYMag pays to climate. Why don't I go through the homepage of your magazine right now and see what's on it? Let's play "Spot the Climate Coverage." We've got your article shitting on Don't Look Up. Ooh, the 25 best-smelling bath products!

    2/ I think one of the benefits of the comet analogy is it brings the foreground the idea that the people on the "other side" are abject morons, and for Netflix viewers that is probably a satisfying feeling

    I had on my "To Write" list a newsletter thing that was basically "Climate Change Is Not A Comet Strike," basically just pointing out how broken an analogy this is, but it looks like Eric is making the same (BRILLIANT) points here.

    Don't Look Up is a bad climate allegory. A big part of why decarbonization is hard is that there's no "do or die" deadline, and each individual emissions-reducing reform is negligible - which makes it easy for even the most aware to deprioritize climate

    I love the passive-aggressiveness of it. “My friend’s not EVIL - he just hasn’t found the path to righteousness yet!” Now, who wouldn’t want to be friends with a guy like that?

    I can't stand Ayn Rand but I also can't stand the sorts of Twitter nerds likely to have strong and frequently expressed feelings about Ayn Rand in either direction so it's really tough to know who to root for here
