That’s pretty interesting I guess but I just don’t want to read white trivia on a blue background. Sorry. Feels like I’m at work.

Wow, what a difference a year makes. Checking out the @skeetsapp.com iPad client and it is awesome so far. So nice to have an actual native iPad app for Bluesky. Thanks @seabass.bsky.social!

Cool paper on political sorting in the US labor market, based on an inventive effort merging LinkedIn profiles with public voter files to create a panel of 35 million Americans with information about employment and political party registration. sahilchinoy.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/chinoy_polit...

🎙️ w/ Brendan Graham Dempsey on his new book *The Evolution of Meaning: A Universal Learning Process.*

We discussed my love for the book, meaning as adaptive information, bogus learning, information overload, wisdom, the evolution of sacredness, and much more.

When you optimize for short term goals, you can destroy the long term vision. Complex systems emerge to regulate lower level components in service of higher level goals.
A fascinating aspect of complex systems is that some forms of inefficiency or 'noise' are not regarded as flaws, but as features of the system. This noise plays a key role in allowing the system to adapt.

Rory Sutherland on the topic...

A productive conversation between Colin and Brianna and co. The trans issue must be de-politicized if practical solutions are to be found.
Four trans women sat down with
@drcolinwright.bsky.social and did the unthinkable. Had a nuanced discussion with someone the trans community hates about Trans public policy.

Both Kelly and Taf transitioned as minors and found a lot of agreement on his ethical concerns.

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware:

- the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania

- his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir

- he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post

Jay: I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society.
