There are real limits to what we can accomplish in a world where people believe nothing they do really matters. My book (!) is about how we wound up in a place where millions of people feel like spectators in their own lives. And how we course correct. Because we can. Coming April 13, 2027

I hope we win next month, obviously, but any joy I could possibly feel will be immediately cancelled out by the knowledge that I live in a country where any of this could have been happening for so long.

Look at this photograph.

Southpaw adds: Melania and Trump each look into the camera lens; Trump is intensely bug eyed and stiff while Melania looks desolated and betrayed. Xi watches them impassively.

Imagine the rage of the DoD official who just risked their career to leak that China stole critical F-35 stealth components only to see the commander in chief avoid any confrontations that might distract from showing our adversary the hideously gaudy shrine he is building for himself

So, the president saying that the buildings literally fell on him personally that day is MUCH closer to the internal emotional experience of his supporters who have never been to NY than is your evidence that they are lying. How can we ever find common ground with people whose feelings become facts?

When I think about the growing amygdalization of our world, every possible solution fails because it can’t account for the fact that they are having a completely different sensory/perceptual/cognitive experience. You have to think like them or they won’t hear you. And I don’t want to think like them

It wasn’t an error of memory! They were faithfully recounting what they were feeling at the time, but in retelling the memory they were revealing the contours of how the narcissism was filtering the details of our every interaction—that we had been and always would be living in different worlds.

I’ve known at least two malignant narcissists in my life and it was very striking to me that both of them would be, in an unguarded moment, fondly recollecting some happy moments we had shared—and I couldn’t recognize the events they were describing at all.

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

In my heart I already knew, but it was confirmed for me that these pseudo-progressive cheesenecks weren’t serious about wanting to live in a better world when all the fundraisers after the police murdered a guy in Burgertown were for the businesses negatively impacted by the protests for justice.
