A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

Kindleberger Spiral is an inward spiral, visualizing the steady collapse of world trade.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Our lack of good deep psychological measures of human creativity, reasoning, empathy, etc. is really a problem in AI right now. A lot of tests that were "good enough" for human research (RAT for creativity, Seeing the Mind in The Eyes for empathy) are not robust enough to be benchmarks for AI.
