💥🔥🧨 I am beyond excited to announce that I will be writing AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, a book for @mitpress, about the schools debacle in America during the pandemic. The book, in essence, will be a case study of how and why bad decisions are made THREAD 1/12

Idk Brandy. Should we blindly trust the pediatricians who pushed masking two-year-olds, long-term school closures, and continual vaccine boosters for American kids contrary to other Western countries?

🚨 BREAKING NEWS Santa missed payroll again and the elves are threatening a walk out right before the holiday. This is a developing story.

To be clear: All Guinness World Records earned during this time are invalid because they do not include the entire world. @GWR: are you blocking record attempts from dozens of totalitarian regimes, military aggressors, and countries with flagrant human rights violations?

Former Obama White House adviser says that Democrats' support of Israel was against "racial equality." Around half of Jewish Israelis are Mizrahi/Sephardi (i.e. African & Asian, or expelled from Iberia). It's inconvenient for the the white colonizer narrative, but true.

Six years ago today, the first known COVID patient began experiencing symptoms.

Benjamin Franklin would like a word.

This is a good evidence–based analysis of the shift leftward, from economic concerns and other interests of everyday Americans toward identity politics, of the Democratic party platform over the last decade.

During the pandemic, economists, among others, were told to stay in their lane. Health officials were the only “experts.” Except, unlike the epidemiologists and doctors who shut down schools, economists weigh second order effects—i.e. unintended consequences. And here we are.

As I detail in An Abundance of Caution, American pediatricians—the “experts”—recommended *against* early exposure to peanuts; many did so for nearly 20 years, which was the opposite of what they should have said, causing great harm to untold numbers of kids. They did this despite

Few people are more insufferable than a smug, woke, ignorant tv “comedian.” The irritation isn’t so much that he is obviously wrong about this and so many other things. It’s that he’s so pleased with himself.

Abundance of Caution

Equity (ie proportional representation for each demographic) is fundamentally at odds with science and human nature. Remarkable story in obesity research of scholars who still don’t understand this. https://t.co/4Y2BD4Z3TL

@TheFP “is considered” (exclusively to be) a conservative opinion site, not a news outlet. Considered by whom? This column by Rather, of course, proves the charge that much of the legacy media has lazy and biased reporting, part of the very reason that Weiss was brought to CBS.

According to Dan Rather, being “anti woke” “anti DEI” and “pro Israel” is mutually exclusive with being a moderate.

Why are blinding headlights the norm now? It’s ridiculous. How has NHTSA not regulated this?

The sources of AI training is a deep epistemological problem that society has not remotely reckoned with. In a decade from now “reality/truth/history” will be determined to a significant extent by the content of the training.

A reminder that we still have not reckoned with the fact that regular people objectively outperformed the “experts” in predicting outcomes during the pandemic. I cover this and more in my book: An Abundance of Caution

Journalist and author @davidzweig joins Greg to unpack how politics, media, and misplaced expertise shaped school closure policies during COVID—and the lasting impact on children’s education and mental health. Check the full episode at https://t.co/1iDWEMDhVS | @mitpress

What a night in Abu Dhabi! From building agents with our no-code platform to hearing insights from James Vowles, Team Principal at Atlassian @WilliamsRacing and Alex Albon, Atlassian Williams Racing Driver, the energy was unmatched.

This could be a revealing film. I look forward to watching it! @AppletoZucchini was a great advocate for kids during the pandemic.

Paramount condemns the Israeli film boycott after Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, and nearly 4,000 others pledge to avoid Israeli film companies accused of “genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.” "At Paramount, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect and inspire
