This podcast is an excellent introduction to the field of psychology, warts & all. @paulbloomatyale and @peez have a great dynamic and cover topics in an accessible way yet also get into nuances on fairly niche topics. Usually on here I’m lamenting terrible things. This is good.

This is an excellent nuanced piece and not just because it cites a certain anthropologist.

Good balanced thread by Gideon.

People are sharing this thread around a lot, and I have to say that it's extremely unfair and mostly incorrect when it comes to the specifics of the Cochrane review twitter.com/tomaspueyo/status/1630000803141255169

Good article on a weird thing we've seen in some of the gurus we've covered (Russel Brand, James Lindsay) and a bunch we haven't (like Stefan Molyneux).

This is a very good article on the Twitter Files and to my reading gets most things right.

Very good thread by Helen on why the Taibbi thread really isn’t good journalism.

It feels an age ago now, but in 2015 I wrote for @NiemanLab about journalists handling stolen/leaked documents, in the wake of the iCloud hack and the Sony leak (1/) twitter.com/helenlewis/status/1599685909926277120/photo/1

Very good thread revealing how far removed the conspiracy theorist accounts are from reality. This is all climategate v2.0.

Lots of speculation about what went down in the infamous 2/1/20 teleconference. Lab leak proponents think Fauci conspired with an international group of experts to cover up lab origin because evil gain of function virologist cartel. Unsurprisingly,

A fantastic & truly depressing episode on one of Alex’s recent pre-trial depositions. Lowlights include Alex being unable to name any of the children who died at Sandy Hook & claiming that a grieving parent was doing academy award winning acting.

John Ioannidis has never trusted COVID death certificates. Doctors aren't clever or thoughtful enough to figure this whole death thing out, he says, and they even have financial incentives to choose COVID. But he also won't be satisfied by excess dea

Manvir is a wealth of excellent threads and good papers. This is another example. I agree with the sentiment expressed about Graeber & Wengrow’s work at the end of the thread too.

Just accepted @EvolHumBehav: @HSB_Lab & I argue for social diversity during the Late Pleistocene w/ bigger groups, more hierarchy, etc. Preprint & summary in this older 🧵, so I’ll focus on how our argument differs from @DavidWengrow's #TheDawnOfEvery

lol, word for word that is exactly what people say when accusing climate scientists of lying. Never mind eh, you should read Stuart Ritchie’s book on Science Fictions if this is a genuine interest and spend less time on lab leak Twitter.
