Happy Friday, Bluesky! I have been quiet lately but I have made progress on my nonprofit strategy site (custom AI advisor coming soon!) while looking for a job.

Thinkmaxxing needs to start trending. At least that's what I think.

Everyone needs to stay on the treadmill of production, because those treadmills are powering data centers and without data centers civilization collapses. Just above this story, in my feed, some Meta executive opined that workers need to use AI to work harder, not take more time off.

He clearly had some lucrative side hustles, as did his wife of many years. Oddly, this explanation does not seem to work when the person in question is a registered Democrat and Republicans need a talking point.

I came up with new things to do for my Strategy Hub project, so I'll be working on that. Am I the only one working on a cool side project this weekend?

Peter Politician is a communist! What do you think when you read that. Do you know how the word 'communist' is being used in this case?

People are SO SCARED of strangers hurting them or their kids, but the data consistently supports that it’s far more likely to be a friend or family member. Most mass shootings are at private residences. Only a quarter of kidnappings are strangers.

Have you heard of looksmaxxing. Well, I invented thinkmaxxing as a semi-serious alternative. This graphic uses the kawaii template in NotebookLM. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/ed6...

Happy Friday! The weekend is a great time to learn how to guard your mind against misinformation, pseudoscience, and propaganda. Right? Do you have any favorite resources (books, blogs, YT channels) dealing with those topics?

Chester Davis @chesterdavis.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Are you getting some of your facts and opinions from people who think evolution is fake, climate is weather, and capitalism is a form of government? You might be, without even realizing it.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBPk7EWt/ THIS Is why my skin itches when our pundits, consultants and talking heads insist that MAGA voted on “the economy.” NO THEY DID NOT! To them, everything is intertwined with white supremacy, and most especially “the economy.”

Thinkmaxxing book: Critical thinking and science literacy need to be trending, And, you need them to pick out good advice from bad. The same applies to health, relationships, career planning, personal finance, voting, & so on. But you might need a handy little no-fluff guide. Right?

I wonder if trapping her in the bedroom could be considered kidnapping?

Some say that common sense is enough to make sense of society. I beg to differ. This article explains why and shares a few more insights about how our minds can mislead us. Enjoy! chesterdavis.medium.com/the-common-s...

The “Common Sense” Traps That Help Pseudoscience Spreads

We live amidst a flood of information on society, nature, and the universe. Some of that information is, in fact, nonsense. But our minds…

Random Wednesday thought. We in the US are in week 76 of mid-term election campaigning. The lying and misrepresenting about social issues like crime, the economy, inequality, and the environment is likely to ramp up as election day approaches. Be ready!

As a sociologist, I also endorse this message. \

Crime stinks. So does not knowing much about crime - what causes it and what we can do - because politicians and pundits use those gaps in knowledge against people. Learn a few things about crime and crime control by checking out this video (created using NotebookLM). youtu.be/GyQdfiy2zCw

Since this is Earth Day, it is a perfect time to remind you that the issues we face, and not just environmentally, are complex and there's plenty of real science to learn. Be mindful of what you are picking up from pundits, influencers, bloggers, and politicians. And, consider planting a tree!

Does it make sense for top American politicians to tell the Pope he isn't Pope-ing right? It does when you think of religion as a tool for power and social control. I'm not saying that's what religions are really for, just how some Big Shots use it.

And it isn't a debate when one side has random sample surveys and government statistics while the other side has stories and "common sense" to offer.

I wonder if groupthink played a role in where we are with Iran. A group of top administration people agreed that we could (really and truly!) knock out Iran's regime, terminate the ballistic missle threat, and get their enriched uranium. Oh, and there would be minimal political & economic fallout.

"Did you know that space travel is impossible?" You should probably ignore anything such a person says about science. It is the same for people who talk about welfare making people dependent on handouts, guns making us safer, and the US being a republic and not a democracy.
