@markmanson Nice post - reminds me of: "The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master." -Robin Sharma

For federal elections, why not Veteran's Day? It's already in November, already a day to honor those who went above and beyond in their civic duty. Make it happen @crookedmedia 🙂 https://t.co/KZeSduDAdV

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Election Day in California is a reminder that Election Days should be state and national holidays. It’s just insane that we ask our citizens to vote and then make it as hard as possible to do that duty.

@patrickc @harryh @naval Many public libraries have great e-book collections that are free to access but limited by # of copies available. Why not have a service where you could rent a book for a month for a dollar? If only there were a young entrepreneur somewhere who was passionate about this 🤔😀

@nntaleb From a twisted SITG perspective, wouldn't disclosing the falsehood imply one did not truly have any skin in the lie that was told?

[Ajit Vyas @ajitvyas82]

@nntaleb Isn't the quote redundant? To be a liar inherently means that one does not disclose the lie, which is being a liar about being a liar. Aside from a 4 yo admitting they took the cookies, what other relevant type of liar is there?

[Ajit Vyas @ajitvyas82]

@markmanson Nice piece, but I'm surprised you did not reference the Dunning-Kruger effect. Was that intentional? Just curious.

@chayesmatthew @MMViverito @maggieNYT Ever wonder why DJT didn't go around repeating "Demonstrably False Ted Cruz"?

For why this matters, consider this quote:

[Ajit Vyas @ajitvyas82]

@chayesmatthew @MMViverito How would you * ever * know this, unless you later overheard the person say "I intentionally misled them!" ? The NYT can still say DJT told a lie without saying DJT is lying to avoid the intent issue. Why don't they?

@juliagalef @joakimbook How is the original point about diverse subcultures a Pareto improvement?

@AshaRangappa_ @NatashaBertrand Always thought Ty Cobb was a regular Attic-us Finch 🙂

@AdamMGrant As a more serious corollary that ties into your idea of doing worthwhile things over networking:

[The Quote @thequote]

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. - Indira Gandhi

[Ajit Vyas @ajitvyas82]

@AdamMGrant There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary numbers and those who don't :)

@devisridhar Why not focus on potable water instead? See this Cutler paper from 2004: https://t.co/KSbBuSl4uc

@AdamMGrant Corollary: Basement disappointment: wanting to hide in the basement when you realize everyone has already thought of your idea, like "what if the way you see red is different from how I see red and your sense of color is completely different from mine?" :-)

@devisridhar Not sure if a US commencement speech could serve as a model but David Foster Wallace's is a good start. Perhaps explaining how you answered the question he raised for yourself in your academic endeavors would be fruitful: https://t.co/QAdtQYxEHz

While you weren’t looking, an Ebola vaccine has emerged that appears to actually work. https://t.co/efrV5wEsa2

@DrHughHarvey And for that reason alone, humans will always need some form of AI oversight" once it can be shown that an AI is more accurate than a human radiologist? I'd imagine the goal is not perfection but rather marginal improvement over human interpretation.

[Ajit Vyas @ajitvyas82]

@DrHughHarvey Couldn't a future AI write this para as: "This is because it is impossible for a human to ever be 100% accurate in solving a medical diagnostic question, because medicine in part still remains an art which can never be fully quantified or solved.
