In argument, there are a few points we should not forget:
Logic is a map for thought, not a fetish.
Style is a means of transmitting ideas in the most understandable way, not to show off your prowess.
Critique is for improving ideas you want to be better, not hate.

Paper alert. Our new single-grain multi-method-dating paper on detrital zircon is out since last month! https://t.co/14nwmUrEMX

[basic_principle_PH9 @PrincipleBasic]

Quick shoutout to Marie and other co-authors for the new paper that just came out in Economic Geology @ResearchGate: https://t.co/U2DJ1h3MLi

New paper on-line by Birk Härtel, of relevance to the detrital community: finite-mixture modelling is not always the answer!: Ghost age components in detrital thermochronology https://t.co/GrrQDwJ1vm

[basic_principle_PH9 @PrincipleBasic]

Paper alert. When dating detrital samples, we can sometimes distinguish age components reflecting processes in the source area. However, sometimes the components we get are only artifacts.
Our new article deals with such artifactual ghost components

Dear enemies,The Black Swan is now the most influential (that is, discussed/mentioned) 21st C book.
While almost all books have a half-life between 2 and 6 months, it does not appear to have a half-life. #Lindy

[Same with other 4 books in the Incerto. Graph is US only]

am happy to announce that our new article 'In search of lost time: Raman thermochronology of FC‑1 zircon' is finally published in Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology. Big shoutout to my co-authors and everybody involved.

[basic_principle_PH9 @PrincipleBasic]

https://t.co/oA1iHqMEh7 just put up a new, free software to use for #thermochronology, specifically for constructing daughter-parent plots in #FT #Helium and #Raman dating, but also for other kinds of scatterplots.

@ch_gruetze Where is the micro CT when one needs it? ;-)

An expert is someone who knows exactly what not to be wrong about.

#AI #ChatGPT

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

ChatGPT is a statistical representation of things found on the web, which will increasingly include ITS OWN output (directly and second hand).
You post something picked up from it & it will use it to reinforce its own knowledge.
Progressively a self-licking lollipop.
Enjoy
#AI

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

A lot of people are misunderstanding my poing about ChatGPT and #AI in general.
I am not saying it is useless. All I am saying is that it is no replacement for & no threat to *real* experts.

[basic_principle_PH9 @PrincipleBasic]

Hey there, check out our new paper in GGR on FC1 zircon and apatite as references for (U-Th)/He dating. Shoutouts to @CambAdventure and @GeoEnkelmann for being awesome co-authors :)

IQ psychologists figured out what we saw instantly from the graphs: performance stops at 1 STD (& reverses in top 1%!)

But they still can't get it's a negative measure, one of unintelligence, not a positive one.

The IQ test,too ludic, doesn't measure cognitive abilities .

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

You don't do well by trying to be right; it is impossible for humans. You do well by figuring out when you're wrong faster than others do.

[basic_principle_PH9 @PrincipleBasic]

@egzonxoni0 @LifeAfterMyPhD Yup, and being experts already may take away from their ability to learn... the purpose of the PhD studies

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Define a worn-out human, that is a person at once aged, decrepit, and vegetative?
Someone devoid of intellectual curiosity.

@etnaboris Thanks for sharing these impressions. Nature's always beautiful.
