@ishkolhatkar Looks very good! Well done!

I don’t really think that just because a person does well academically, it’s a sign of mediocrity. The converse is also true.

@CassSunstein Such sad news. His book was transformational in my understanding of the world.

One of the many incredible things about Danny Kahneman: He was a joyful coauthor. Look at how many coauthors he had? His ideas often came from discussions. (When I was struggling to keep with the flood of ideas, all oral, he exclaimed, "Cass, you think by writing. I think by talking!")

Einstein's works revolved around three rules which apply to all science, problems, and times: • Out of clutter, find simplicity; • From discord make harmony; and • In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein!

These are eight slightly different versions of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa from eight different museums. So which is the real one? That's the thing — they're all the real one. Here's a brief history of art's most famous wave...

"Brexit hasn't benefited British agriculture one iota" Jacob Rees-Mogg interviews farmer David Catt hoping to show that Brexit has benefited farming. Instead, Mr Catt explains how Brexit has been a disaster for British farming

Please make this go viral. It’s never been articulated better than this.

8. That’s it! Perform these movements 2-3 times per session, depending on your strength level and time constraints. Repeat up to 3 times per week. Never work through pain.

10 concepts that explain the modern world 1. Parkinson’s Law: Companies become bigger and worse over time. Clerks manufacture work for each other as overall capacity dips. When British Navy ships went down from 68 to 20, officials increased by 78%. 2. Chesterton Fence: If you don’t know what an old custom does, don’t touch it. It may be holding back problems you’re completely unaware of. You’ve not seen the wolves yet because of the very fence you’re about to demolish. 3. The Medici Effect: Sculptors, painters, and architects converged in Florence as the Medicis were funding the artists. Their proximity led to a fertile dialogue which, in turn, led to the Renaissance. The internet will amplify this cross-pollination of ideas. 4. The Centipede's Dilemma: Ask a centipede which one of its hundred legs moves the fastest and it forgets how to move. Reflecting on what we normally do without thought ironically worsens performance. A culture of endless self-reflection, therapy, and navel gazing is eroding important life skills. 5. Tyranny of small decisions: Individuals make small decisions to maximize convenience but this leads to massive social failure. We nod along to contagious ideas like “gender is fluid” because resisting them is too much work - till kids start getting transgender surgery. The slippery slope is not a fallacy but a fundamental reality. 6. The Zebra Effect explains why people don’t want to stand out. Zebras are hard to individually study as it's nearly impossible to track one of them for long (lost in the striped chaos). So scientists once put a big red dot on one zebra so he could be tracked & studied. Lions zeroed in on him and hunted him with ease. Getting lost among others is a survival mechanism. Hence the human desire to conform. 7. Why the ruler can’t rule: The executive head can’t implement his ideas on ground because the bureaucrats are closer to it, and have an agenda of their own. The Tzar of Russia had to deal with the Deep State too. Nicholas II: “I never ruled Russia. 10,000 clerks ruled Russia.” 8. Gall's law: A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. Only fools and modern technocrats try to create complex systems from scratch. 9. Minimal Self Hypothesis: Narcissism is a “strategic retreat” into the safety of one’s own self. When the future looks random, inexplicable, and informationally overwhelming, people enter survival mode. The self becomes “minimal” to reduce its surface area to pain. People today are giving up on commitment of all sorts to conserve energy for vague and upcoming disasters. 10. Tetris Syndrome: The world will eventually start looking like Tetris blocks if you play the game too much. What we do most often becomes the metaphor through which we look at the world. Takeaway: Most people today are addicted to their 2D phones - and this will hurt the general aptitude for dealing with the 3D world.

@QcWynter @ED_LeveyKC He is right.

@ED_LeveyKC I am in pretty much the same boat and my elder brother (who knows everything about everything) advised me to go Apple. He says you will pay more but will suffer fewer malfunctions over the long term. He is only very rarely wrong. Last time was Christmas 1983.

Legal Twitter: I need two new PCs (home + chambers) and a new laptop as all of my machines are *very* old. I also need a new phone to replace my broken Android device. Has the time finally come to move to Apple? I'm thinking of getting just a MB Pro and 'docking' it. Thoughts?

@ED_LeveyKC @RhysTaylor32 @seanwilkenkc @gifford_head @GregW_Barrister @Familoo @luketharrison @_Hill_J @JasonBraier @SCynic1 You’ll get used to the lack of delete button. If you get a Mac keyboard, it comes with a delete button. And there is a right click on the Mac mouse. I moved to Apple in 2017 and never looked back. I don’t miss the PC and never will. On the other hand, I would miss my mac.

@RhysTaylor32 @seanwilkenkc @gifford_head @GregW_Barrister @Familoo @luketharrison @_Hill_J @JasonBraier @SCynic1 Hang on a minute all of you Apple-lovers! You kept the lack of a delete button and the no right-click function suspiciously quiet, you cunning devils ... #dealbreakers? twitter.com/egan_sc/status…

@ATRightMovies Surely …

An evil character in a movie or tv show that you completely loathed?

This is Sir Frederick Banting. He discovered insulin in 1923. But he refused to put his name on the patent. Why? Because Banting felt it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save lives. But pharmaceutical companies made huge financial offers to Banting for the patent, knowing they could make billions. They even sweetened the deal, offering an insulin clinic, with Sir Banting in charge... a temping offer to almost doctor in his position. Banting, however, said his discovery of isolated insulin was a gift to mankind. He felt this critical medicine should be available to everyone who needed it. In 1923, Banting was just 31 years old when he was awarded the Nobel Prize. Tragically, in 1941 while flying on a plane to personally protect scientific secrets from the Nazis, his plane crashed. He was killed. Banting's co-inventors, in his honor, sold the patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for the appropriate sum they thought appropriate – one dollar. Today, 30 million Americans with diabetes rely on his gift to mankind. To honor Sir Frederick Banting, it should remain a gift to mankind.

@ATRightMovies Game over man…

Using an image/gif, show a movie you're SURE you have watched more than ten times.

@domjame I’d give both a miss! 🤣
