Don't want to miss a thing? Watch the final moments from the #DARTMission on its collision course with asteroid Dimporphos.

[Kurzgesagt @Kurz_Gesagt]

Humanity's first ever attempt at moving an asteroid will happen in a few hours, at 7:14 pm EDT.
The target is Dimorphos, a 160m wide rock that's orbiting the Near Earth Asteroid Didymos. We'll hit it with DART that's coming in at 21,960 km/h, while LICIACube watches the impact.

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other

Some mantras for political thinking:

Truth is hard.

Humility is hard.

Independent thinking is hard.

Resisting tribalism is hard.

Over and over, you will forget that these things are hard, and that's probably when you'll fail at them.

I'm not sure what to do with the fact that giving people tons of information does not actually help dispel conspiracy, but instead adds to it because mountains of information are easy to misunderstand and also easy for bad actors intentionally manipulate into false narratives.

Why do I keep procrastinating 😭

Read the original source of information before relying on the opinions of others.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Cellphones are now so ubiquitous that someone waiting somewhere without looking down at a phone in their hand looks suspicious.

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Human tendency to conform, especially when in large groups, is terrifying. Propaganda machines leverage this throughout human history.

The way out is to think freely, detached from the divisive narratives of the day that masquerade as universal truths.

This often feels lonely.

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

In today's world, where we're all flooded with information and opinions, a critical skill is knowing who to trust.

If you trust the right sources, today's world can make you incredibly knowledgeable. If you trust the wrong sources, you'll end up being incredibly delusional.

[LADbible @ladbible]

Just seen how giraffes eat grass and I don't think I'm ever going to get over it 😂😂

Have you ever received a naggy comment from someone discouraging your thoughts or ideas online? It stings, doesn't it?

A great article by @lukeburgis about mirroring social media users the impact of their online behavior.
