@ChrisBeyer Amazing idea — doubly so as they have a new guest chef every month! I’ll be there in August for a Mosquito Supper Club experience.

This is a good word:
Sonder (from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows). “Sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness..." Via @tferriss

I never had any reaction to this scene, and look at this dog ... I’m clearly alien.

The man in the video saved the life of the condor who fell from the nest as a young chick. He cared for the bird and later returned it to the wild.

The bird hasn't forgotten his kindness and sometimes flies back to visit him.

@Kellblog @skyviewPaul @WalshFreedom Sounds like some sort of wishful thinking/optimistic beliefs based bias, but not sure. This Piketty paper develops a rational learning model that describes this behavior, I think!

@nickchk Sorry, we’re having two conversations in this thread haha! But yes, you’re definitely right that it still makes reference to the whole population.

[Alex Kellogg @alex_d_kellogg]

@nickchk I think in this particular model they could go in different directions. I think the intuition is something like “people overweight characteristics that are somehow striking”, so they might attribute that feature to the whole group even if it’s not particularly common.

[Alex Kellogg @alex_d_kellogg]

@nickchk I think it does, but I usually think of it as taking the most typical/salient example of a characteristic and applying that to the whole population.

These graphs are intended to show what standard causal inference methods actually *do* to data, and how they work.

This is what controlling for a binary variable looks like:

My brother fought fires while incarcerated. Did amazing work. They aren’t eligible to be firefighters when released and that’s disgusting.
