Alright so the quick and dirty version of "bananas everywhere are good actually"...

@Noahpinion Just come with us to the good place already.

@Noahpinion Mexican coke for everyone would be a genuinely hilarious Trump policy position.

@Noahpinion They don’t speak English, at all. And Portuguese is really hard to understand even for Spanish speakers.

@wanyeburkett It’s a two step maneuver: 1) we over estimate these outlier skills as evidence of generally exceptional intelligence in all realms and 2) there is a big difference between potential intelligence and finely honed skills. The distribution on the former is much more regular.

@wanyeburkett Incentives not to transparently gouge people and present them with reasonable prices up front might increase. Also might push medical profession to lobby for lower out of pocket costs so they don’t get left holding the bill.

@TylerAlterman Transcendence is great but fleeting and achieving it is a really long and boring process.

[Devin @dachesney]

@Noahpinion Prosperous would be a better word than rich. Rich is about social comparison, prosperous is about health, means to autonomy and quality of life.

@wanyeburkett They are self righteous busybodies who just can’t admit that driving is usually a better experience than all the alternatives and most people will pay very high costs for it because they prefer it so strongly.

@AlecStapp It amazes me that people have become so used to hysteria as the only means of climate communication that they actually believe 2 degrees is going to directly kill large swathes of the population.

[Devin @dachesney]

@MikaelCBernard @asemota It was unanimous on all 34 counts!

[Devin @dachesney]

@wanyeburkett This case is the Al Capone goes down on tax evasion of our time.

[Devin @dachesney]

@connorborrego @JasonSolinsky @Noahpinion That is a lie.

[Devin @dachesney]

@wanyeburkett Homeschooling is an erosion of the social contract that binds society together. It’s an exercise of privilege that is hostile to the common good as an effort to delink one’s children from the fate of their peers who don’t have the option to do so. I understand why but it’s bad.

[Devin @dachesney]

@mattzieger Pretty wild that there is no downward bounce at all during the pandemic! What about the great resignation?!

[Devin @dachesney]

The cringe on this is almost audible. I mean she has the jacket on and everything! Cognitive bias is a powerful thing!

@TylerAlterman This is an unorthodox suggestion but I just read this book about the mind-body connection and how repressed emotions manifest as pain and it resulted almost immediate improvement for me. Irritable bowels are one of the symptoms they discuss. https://t.co/haMyFMoYB9

@tylertringas @pitdesi He’s being paid to make Russian propaganda.

[Devin @dachesney]

@ArmandDoma The bottom quarter of the distribution is a really dumb place.

[Devin @dachesney]

@wanyeburkett Actually it was the high school that produced Vince Young.

[Devin @dachesney]

@wanyeburkett This was my high school’s rival school growing up. They couldn’t count but they were sure good at football!🤣

[Devin @dachesney]

@gymnast97_meg @MichelleKHOU @KHOU Student at one of the country’s worst performing high schools upset that the coursework is too hard.
