As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Exxon has a new plan to sell more fossil fuels: stick carbon capture on massive gas-fired power plants for AI and brand them as climate friendly.

Why golf is a terrible game for people w/ ADHD:
1. It’s addictive
2. Every shot has a random outcome
3. Every hole is an emotional roller coaster, nerve wracking!
4. Playing well requires emotional regulation
5. Playing well requires relaxed mental focus when hitting the ball.
