My newest article, for the @NewStatesman. I go into some details about what led me out of the EA/longtermist cult, and explain why these ideologies could be profoundly dangerous:

The numbers are in. 8.6% of 23,800+ #SfN22 San Diego attendees got #SfN22covid, +/- 1.4% (95% CI), given (big) assumption that poll was unbiased. That’s ~2050 +/- 325 attendees (95% CI). Thanks to N=1636 attendees who completed poll, and a full speedy recovery to those w/ covid!

LIVE NOW: Trump’s legal team is stuck between a rock and a hard (disbarment, criminal charges) place. Lawyer and legal analyst Teri Kanefield joins Maya and Lisa to discuss Trump’s not-so-great legal options. Only on We’re Speaking. https://t.co/VCJmkZHqCG
@neuroamyo I make comments about the sentences that I have in the side bar. I complain about them. I describe what I wish the sentences would accomplish in ideas or emotional response. This process frees me from the tyranny of the paragraph.
@KuoArt For real. I have always suspected there is more anger in hockey because the high momentum and low friction make the players really invested in their estimator predictions.
@KuoArt One's parents could have neglected to sign up for sports camp but it's never too late for improving the res! Maybe not 64-bits awesome but always some potential.
@KuoArt Heuristics probably too strong a word then. Its just Bayes laziness. ‘Hey, the car coming down the road is 500 feet away. i’m sure it’s fine if i just dart across like i always do in similar situations when it is not a high speed murder road.’
@KuoArt I also suspect that sporty people are weird in that they are constantly accurate in their moment to moment predictions about what will happen next. While non sporties are practiced at having way too large tolerances about what their senses should be saying.
@KuoArt If you could probe someone’s quality of representations it would probably look like a Dali painting where some really clear concepts and really distorted mappings are stitched together.
Join the Sensorimotor Superlab (@wusmsl) team! Together with @andpru, we are looking for a postdoc with interest in motor control, and experience with behavioural experiments, computational modelling, and neuroimaging! Please RT!

You can roughly follow the same structure as a paper, but there’s no need to label your sections “Results” or “Materials & Methods”, for example.
Use descriptive headings instead. For example say: “We did this…” or “We found this…”
