I stand with Joe Rogan. It is not a coincidence that the attacks calling him racist come as pressure on Spotify to censor builds.
Politicians and the media profit on division & outrage. They fuel the extremes that make us believe we're divided. We're not. We're in this together.

Sadly, I've been attacked a lot over past 2 days.
For example, my Wikipedia page was edited to mostly remove my time at MIT.
I'm a Research Scientist at MIT, working there since 2015. I love it. The people there are amazing.
The attacks aren't fun, but I remain optimistic ❤️

Human tendency to conform, especially when in large groups, is terrifying. Propaganda machines leverage this throughout human history.
The way out is to think freely, detached from the divisive narratives of the day that masquerade as universal truths.
This often feels lonely.

I'm reading a book a week in 2023. Classics, sci-fi, nonfiction, or anything people highly recommend. I'll keep adjusting the list. Start on Monday, done by Sunday. Might make lowkey videos of takeaways. If you want to read along, the current list is here:

A bunch of folks mocked me for including "basic" books in my reading list (Orwell, Camus, Hesse, Dostoevsky, etc.)
I picked many books that I love and have re-read multiple times. They are not basic. They are profound.
In 2023, I hope for less mocking and more celebrating.

My takeaways from Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial:
1. Fame is one hell of a drug (for some).
2. Psychiatrists & lawyers come in drastically varying levels of skill.
3. Lying to millions of people is something humans are capable of.
4. Love can be messy.
5. Mega pint of wine.

Social media & the press are currently incentivized to drastically exaggerate narratives of division. This in turn creates more division & the downward spiral continues. I hope to build tech that changes these incentives. I believe there is much more love than hate in the world.

- Ads recommendation
- Intuitive edit button
- Video/audio content hosting
- Monetization for creators
- Search and discovery of content

Twitter Files release is most beneficial to humanity not because of what it revealed, but because it promotes a culture of transparency.

My new year's resolutions for 2023:
- write, edit, or delete 20,000 lines of code
- publish 2 good technical papers
- read a classic book a week
- run 1,000 miles, do 24k pull-ups
- eat 1 cookie
Interview: Putin, Zelenskyy, Elon, Sundar, Satya, Obama & many others.
Let's go! ❤️

If you look for a reason to hate a person, eventually you'll find it. If you look for a reason to celebrate a person, eventually you'll find it.
The former leads to resentment and destructive cynicism. The latter leads to happiness and growth for you and for those you celebrate.

Twitter DM's should be end-to-end encrypted.
Also,
@Twitter
please verify me.
I can't prove I'm human, but there are now bots pretending to be me, I need to know if I'm the original or they are. It'd be nice for people I'm DM'ing with to know this as well, to help avoid scams.
