@GadSaad Huge congratulations, Gad Saad! 📖 Suicidal Empathy hitting #9 globally and #1 in Canada is a powerful sign — people are waking up to the dangers of unchecked empathy. Well deserved success for a book that dares to speak uncomfortable truths. Keep fighting the good fight! 🔥🧠


The #Ebola outbreak in DRC & Uganda has multiple concerning features. First, introduction of disease into capital cities like Kinshasa and Kampala can amplify spread quickly. This was analogous to 2014 spread amplified in Conakry, Guinea and Monrovia, Liberia. This is why many of us were concerned about Andes Virus importing into a big city as well— the dynamics & risk change immediately. Secondly, when you have new cases unlinked to a known case, you have runaway transmission chains. Tracing becomes exponentially more challenging. The number of confirmed and suspect cases tells us transmission has been ongoing undetected for some time, likely weeks. Third, the Ebola species here- Bundibugyo- has only caused 2 outbreaks before. It is immunologically different enough from the Zaire species (for which we have monoclonal antibodies & vaccines) such that we really don’t have any effective approved interventions at this time.


@RealJamesWoods Hey James, that would be FANTASTIC! Thank you so much. Here is a picture of the birthday boy. Benji is his name - his birthday was April 25. I will make sure he hears "Hades" talking to him. 👍

Justice Clarence Thomas: “The Declaration is, in fact, along with the Gospels, one of the greatest antislavery documents in the history of Western civilization . . . The ideas of the Declaration were so powerful that our nation could not coexist with the contradiction created by the great evil of slavery. Those principles were so powerful that hundreds of thousands of Americans fought and died in the Civil War to make men free. Those ideas have been so powerful that they convinced our nation to finally end segregation.” This is from the monumental speech Justice Thomas delivered last month celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence at @UTAustin.
