Mental meanderings in math, humor, ethics and feelings.

Maybe the greatest misunderstanding is the myth that I know what you mean. And maybe the greatest liberation is the fact that I never truly will

I hate the fact that this government is dismantling every social service we’ve come to rely on. Education? ADA? Free speech? Right to protest? Truly curious what this gov think it means to be American- where is this heading?

🧵 The movie "Oppenheimer" illuminates the path to the creation of the most destructive weapon ever known to humanity. But it veils a pivotal part of the story — a tale of sacrifice, struggle, and enduring pain. #HistoricalTruths #UraniumMining (Thread 1/8)

Thank you @elonmusk for not mining my health and financial data

@dr_appie @pdakean @NatureHumBehav Isn’t that true for every effect size due to the nature of the statistic itself?

I wish the #SupremeCourt ruling meant that once a practice is shown to be discriminatory, it must be stopped- but my sense from reading is that it means bias is not discrimination, by the standards of the court. #Lawyers please help the laypeople 🙋‍♂️

I love reading about different cultures but I’m always sus on stories centering “the first Chinese woman’s in America” written by a white man, “the inheritance of a Cuban mother” written by a white woman… I want to read that story, but I’m too ignorant to read it from you

[Casey Jayne @CaseyjayneR]

Don't be too pretty or other peoples' actions are not only understandable, but definitely your fault.

@meliivas My Brazilian roomies always said this 😂

[Casey Jayne @CaseyjayneR]

@ramit I disagree with this one… I study math and love modeling out data but studying history makes me wary this is true, even with broad diversification (but I invest regularly anyway 😂). I don’t think this shows someone is new if they understand math and the assumptions

[Casey Jayne @CaseyjayneR]

I wish quantified self/bio hacking/longevity enthusiasts spent half the time & $ they used “optimizing” on social & economic injustice work…. Imagine what we’d get done with that coin

[Casey Jayne @CaseyjayneR]

I don’t understand how anyone who knows US history can oppose reparations. I’m more than happy to pay for the sins of my ancestors- they were dickheads

[David Cox @neurobongo]

Hot take: almost no one in the scientific establishment is particularly unique or irreplaceable. Science doesn't advance genius by genius, but through collective action of many competent but unextraordinary people. The delusion that there are "great men" just breeds predators.

UK and negative time zones there’s still time to convince your friends to do a Mathematically apt countdown! 🌍

I am so shocked at the L word Mississippi. It’s so obvious to my heart that homosexuality is normal and I’m so sad not everyone has that experience

@WiringTheBrain @StuartJRitchie "Admitting that you are wrong is part of science. But somehow the belief has taken hold that making such admissions in a research paper is a sign of weakness that muddies the story" - we need to train scientists to appreciate the liberating nature of being wrong

France has the 4th largest gold reserve in the world. How?
France holds 90% of the gold reserves of 15 African countries and pays 0% interest on what it makes from those reserves since 1945. These nations however borrow from #France from their own reserves with interest!
