Thank you Steven Pinker for your fantastic talk about your book Enlightenment Now at the @SheldonianOxUni. Also delighted to have seen Richard Dawkins in the front row! Two big inspirations for me.

Confirmation bias is the "tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses." We should be skeptical when we say, "In my experience, I see tremendous success with intervention X" without some stats.

Nearly finished my 2nd reading of Enlightenment Now by @SAPinker. Impossible to overpraise. Highly readable, staggeringly well-informed, every sentence a bullseye, & the message could hardly be more important. Please please please read it, recommend it, spread it around.
