Eric Weinstein is a fundamentally unserious person and you should not take any of his claims about physics seriously until he gives a detailed explaination as to why he as an undergrad “came up with Seiberg-Witten theory” before Ed Witten/Nathan Seiberg did and “stole from him”.

Listening to this and… Dr. K sounds like every alternative medicine practitioner I’ve ever heard. He’s more sophisticated and better at issuing caveats but most of the logic and the claims are the same. Just my 2 cents 😉. youtu.be/zt6i6vVgiO4?si…

Challenge for the internet: Go one week without falling for Destiny troll.

Elon Musk: I’m getting rid of all the bots.

Every popular Twitter post now… a wall of unrelated videos and pussy in bio.

Elon stans: The man always delivers.

Sadly Cathy Young 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱, this is a lesson that has not been learned.

Your friendly reminder that we have tried to fix the theory crisis, practicality crisis, replicability crisis, and generalizability crisis since the 70's. Nothing is new about the current iteration, except some modest progress on replicability osf.io/dtvs7

It’s interesting when you look at where the Covid contrarians end up. How many of them conform to the Bari Weiss-style portrayal of respectable academics who simply voiced some outlier positions vs. How many become absolute rank conspiracists, partisans, & RW media pundits?

The first three episodes of Helen Lewis Has Left The Chat — my new series on how instant messaging changed the world — are now available online or on your podcast player of choice:

It’s actually pretty heartening to listen to this given the context of the conversation. Ellison comes across very reasonable. No needless escalation but also very direct disagreements. Nice to see! 👍 pca.st/episode/49467b…

A random reminder that Japan is good. 🤗

Yes that sudden massive leap seems very likely to be organic growth because of Elon’s great leadership and innovation at X.
