@stricklandbrent Is the claim that people overestimate minorities because of prejudice? Or rather that, because people don't understand how small minority groups are, they feel more threatened than they otherwise would? If the latter, then the uncertainty is a feature of the argument, not a bug

In awe of the 17% of the British population who believe that Netanyahu hasn't committed any war crimes, but should be arrested by the British authorities anyway

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

UK polls show that:

• 84% of the public think Netanyahu should be arrested if he comes to the UK

• 67% think Israel has committed war crimes

• 56% support blocking all arms sales to Israel

The British public are on the right side of history. Our political leaders are not.

Preprint out: in the first publication from my PhD project, we model how position and movement in an environment influence the networks that can form between individuals. Information flow is not just a result of behavior, but also of physical constraints

@colin_fraser Yes it does though, answers can come in the form of inequalities

deliciously ironic how many people take a reasonable tweet (you shouldn't have to read every paper cited within the papers you cite) misread it as something else (you shouldn't have to read every paper you yourself cite) then wax smug about how people need to do better at reading

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

The idea that you can just cite someone else's paper to say anything you want, and then when people point out that it doesn't actually say what you claimed, you can just shrug and say "Well who has time to actually READ all those papers?", is just incredible.

Deep in the Amazon rainforest live a community where people age more slowly.

Studies show the hearts and brains of Bolivia’s indigenous Tsimane people are the healthiest on the planet.

What's their secret? 🫀🧠

Always funny to see populist conservatives make anti-immigration arguments based on social trust when urbane libs who encounter immigrants daily have 10x their social trust

It's not a desire for a more trusting society, it's a demand that the low-trust be coddled
