Asking as an American: does stuff like this happen outside outside of America?

I recently got back on X. Always a terrible decision. This app is way better

I'd be pretty excited if we can start to get more access to transportation through self-driving buses.

Been wondering if the RCT worshippers understand that evidence no matter how "poor" it is, always supports a conclusion.

More bullshit insisting medicine has to be based on blind studies to be "evidence-based". I think it all deserves a response so people realize the issue, but you can't convince these people.

Good read. MIA is generally not great but can have some nice insights at. I think to get a better grasp of the relationship between genes and mental illness (which clearly exists), we will need to go further than heritability measures. Of course very few critics are explaining how we can.

I can't tell when Huang's words should be taken representative of what he believes. He says a lot of absurd things, but it seems likely he does it to his own benefit (hype draws in investors).

Yeah, nice to see because I don't see much philosophy on intelligence (outside of AI maybe), mostly by him. More philosophy on working memory is needed too. Wish more scientists cared about some of these things.

I think evo psych for some reason attracts bad personalities. May be unwise to generalize the people in the field with some of the more influential figures. I'll read someone like Geoffrey Miller and it feels like he forgets that women are humans with human brains, not distinct organisms.

I am unsure what to feel about evo psych. Respectable stuff is out there IMO, but there is a lot of really bad stuff. And the bad stuff extends beyond pop sci books. Evo Psych hypotheses are often too speculative, untestable, and not of much practical significance, among other things.

I think it has a common philosophical usage referring to some kind of property of an experience, the redness of an experience you have with seeing an apple, the badness of the experience of pain. Some are nitpicky about it but this is how I use the term. It's coherent to deny such a thing exists
