1 thing I think @JonHaidt & I got wrong in our 2018 book COTAM is that we ended on a hopeful note even though we thought the problem was going to get worse before it got better. Now we both think we are in serious trouble for a long time coming theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

I have some unsolicited advice for all Americans: don’t watch cable news. Not @FoxNews. Not @CNN. Not @MSNBC. Or anybody else. Read a book or a magazine or a decent newspaper or go for a walk instead. You’ll be happier and just as well informed.

The first step to getting stuck in quicksand: Don't freak out. Humans actually can't drown in the stuff, because we float in it. Getting out can be simple, if you follow these instructions [source and full video: buff.ly/2ZsS00L]

As a general rule: the more convinced someone is that they’re right, the less likely they are right.

This is one of the reasons many of us fear surveillance technology. We create safeguards & rules but it’s impossible to know who will one day be elected (or seize power) and use it as they please

"It's a power struggle...If you think you are right, regardless of what other people's opinions might be, the matter should be closed then and there. However, many people try to make others submit..they think of 'admitting a mistake' as 'admitting defeat'" amzn.to/2W5XGhO

Why does the sunlight come from the north in shaded relief maps? The sunlight in this map comes from the upper left, but in the northern hemisphere the sun mostly occupies the southern half of the sky, so why isn't it coming from below?

A common mistake is to view elites as a unified block. A group of people who look out for one another. They are not. Elites are constantly trying to get ahead of one another /1
