How come grant funding decisions are so biased and random given that reviewers & panel are trying their best to do the right thing? There's just no signal to detect. You can't predict what science will be important without doing it. All you can get is noise and unconscious bias.

If you want to make a dent into rates of mental health problems, make sure people have a roof over their heads, health insurance coverage, enough food to eat. Let's start there. And let's not forget Kendler: "You would not explain hypertension at the level of quarks".

You’d think that conspiracy theorists are gullible, shallow thinkers. But you’d be wrong, argue @sjgadsby and @sandervdc—people who endorse and spread mad theories are intelligent, but they’re drawn (a bit too much) to the intoxicating lure of discovery: buff.ly/3Zwl5Yt

I discuss (favourably) this hypothesis in my forthcoming book on digital technopanics.

"A relevant distinction is between perspective-taking and perspective-getting – don’t just try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes (perspective-taking); genuinely enquire about how they see the world (perspective-getting)."

Uncovering genuine secrets of nature and delusional conspiracy theories can subjectively feel the same (‘aha’).

RL researchers will never "solve" the intrinsic reward problem--high-dimensional rewards or value functions will never be tenable as a theory. You can only respond to how things in the world (externally, internally) impact the structure of what you are, which is high-dimensional.

“Any system that is not explicitly pro-Weird Nerd will turn anti-Weird Nerd pretty quickly.” My essay on why those looking to create/improve intellectual institutions need to take Rux's rule into account -- with loads of references to Katalin Kariko. writingruxandrabio.com/p/the-weird-ne……

Apparently, the secret to fair funding decisions is... skipping the proposals altogether. Who knew all that effort was optional? "We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact their proposal rankings." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
