It’s shocking watching what’s happening in America and it makes you think we’ve been asking for decades, how does a state slide into fascism (because it seemed unthinkable), when we should have been asking the more pressing question, how do you stop it?

As I have grown older, I have come to realize that the only way to defeat bad #ideas is not by throwing data at someone or screaming at them but instead by exposure & gentle persuasion while being cognizant of the other's emotions!

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.

We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS.

This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

The moral injury of seeing basic aspects of healthcare not happening is a heavy weight to carry. Its a big risk of burnout to take individual responsibility for what is a huge system problem. Any of us could doggedly work all hours & it wouldnt solve the problem. Important we stay conscious of this.
