✨ The world isn't getting worse. It's getting better.

It's not perfect—not even a good place. But of all the global scenarios we've actually known (not imagined or wished for), this is the best.

44 facts to start 2026 with optimism👇

🎯 ¿Qué define a un “cuñado”?

Hablan con rotundidad y sin conocimiento.

Son el arquetipo de algo humano: Somos más rotundos cuanto menos sabemos.

Ahora un estudio en Science ha medido algo similar. Analizaron a personas con ideas anticientíficas (sobre vacunas, transgénicos, homeopatía). Y mirad el gráfico:

↓↓ La gente con más ideas controvertidas, tiene MENOS conocimiento en general.

↑↑ Pero creen saber más.

Es el Dunning-Kruger empírico. Y lo contrario de lo lógico: deberíamos ser cautos al principio y categóricos cuanto más estudiamos.

Montaigne lo resumió hace siglos: “Nada se cree tan firmemente como aquello que menos se conoce”.

"The fallacies behind the cult of Loeb"
New entry in my blog. Other articles have covered the scientific aspects; this one reflects on the social phenomenon. I argue it’s driven by a series of fallacies
