Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 15/04/2025I think most people, if asked “Is it important to listen to arguments by people who disagree with you?” would answer in the affirmative. I also think most people don’t really do this 100
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Destroying a media source feels distasteful, esp. since it sounds like people’s opinions can be moderated by exposure to contrary arguments Maybe the solution looks more like algos that counterbalance outrage-bait with quality examples of disagreeing views to break people out of rage spirals 100
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 15/04/2025This finding is likely false. It keeps getting spread because it appeals to people’s biases — it just feels so right that authority would cripple empathy and turn leaders into sociopaths — but it doesn’t replicate. www.discovermagazine.com/mind/power-d...discovermagazine.comPower Doesn't Cause Brain DamagePower Doesn't Cause Brain Damage 2332

Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Would be very pleased if fencing is an exception! I rowed in high school and we definitely weren’t beating or even meeting the boys’ times, which is always kind of a bummer. 000
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Is this true? Do women fencers perform as well as male fencers in mixed sex bouts? I know there are a few sports with impressive records from outlier women, like freediving, but I don’t know of any where the 80th percentile is more or less equal between the sexes. 200

Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Man. It’s nuts that people who despise Trump would also happily dismantle rights fundamental to a free society if they had the chance. 011
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Remember when Citi fatfingered a $7.8mm interest payment and mistakenly paid off Revlon’s entire loan of $900mm with Citi’s own money? And then they asked the creditors to return the money and the creditors were like “lmao” 010

Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Any PhD program worth its salt covers your tuition. The real price is the opportunity cost — 5 years of unpaid research and a TAship that barely covers your living expenses vs. an entry level position at BCG or Citadel or whatever. 000

Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Just wondering what the experience of the internet is like for blind people. What’s blind internet culture like? Where do they hang out? How do they communicate? What games do they play? What are the highest value interventions for them? 100
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Why do you even care about vaccines if you’re this indifferent to children’s wellbeing? “If their own parents don’t care, why should I?” Deeply fucked and anti-human philosophy. 000
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 15/02/2025This would be bad logic even if it were true, but it isn’t. The parents of unvaccinated kids do care about their health, otherwise they wouldn’t be falling for dubious remedies like horse drugs and raw milk. Being misinformed still doesn’t mean their kids deserve to suffer. 100
Jeni @jeni.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Come on. Kids don’t deserve to suffer because their parents maybe have different political takes than you. 010
