Thank you @Ada_Palmer — your work on the Renaissance (Poggio, Machiavelli, Bacon…) has been a joy to read.
And your appearance on the Dwarkesh Podcast: a breath of fresh air — full of clarity, sensitivity, and depth.

Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of us, has become so second nature that we just assume it’s the most natural way of getting information. But what we’ve seen, especially in the last 10 years, when video has become so cheap because of the cloud computing revolution and the broadband revolution, is that a lot of people, unlike us, much prefer to listen and watch than to read. You just see this: when I go to Google and ask a basic question about how to unstick my printer or solve a problem, I get like five videos. And I just want a paragraph that would solve it. I don’t want to see Seth saying, “Hi, welcome to my show. If you like it, subscribe and give it a like.” So just help me solve the problem. But clearly there’s something unusual about me, because people are going for the video. And the massive availability of video—of TikTok, of YouTube—means that people may not be getting the practice or putting in the effort into literacy, which we have reason to believe was one of the drivers of the Flynn effect and of cognitive sophistication in general.

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026:

“Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.”

He goes harder:

Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done.

Feynman:

“I know what it means to really know something.
How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself.
I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.”

The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge.

In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever.

Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now?

Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

Where is the left now?
Where are the “pro-Palestinian” and “anti war” activists when the Islamic Republic is killing innocent Iranians?
At least 20 people got killed in 10 days protests including 4 children….
Same story, my friends, the same story I once told @billmaher.

[icalles @icalles]

@shrimalmadhur Good article, well explained all the issues involved. Thanks 👍

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

You talk about “Islamophobia.”
But the real danger isn’t fear of Islam, it’s fear of telling the truth about Islamist violence.
My full interview with Jake Tapper on CNN where I explain how Islamic regime hires hitman to kill US citizens in New York.

Entrevisto a @AlinejadMasih, activista iraní amenazada de muerte: "Si Occidente no frena el islamismo, los islamistas se unirán para acabar con la democracia y el feminismo" Insiste en que su lucha "no es contra una prenda", sino contra un sistema de control. https://t.co/Bn6SoKMtT3

@perezreverte Que bueno.

Justice is beautiful ✌️🌻

They wanted to see me on the porch of my Brooklyn home, covered in blood.
I wore red instead to face my would-be assassin and to celebrate life, justice, and freedom.
The Russian mobsters hired by Iranian regime sent to kill me on US soil were sentenced to 25 years in prison.

I told the judge: the leader of the Islamic Republic ordered the Revolutionary Guards to kill me.
Now this U.S. court can send a message to that terrorist regime by giving these killers the longest sentence and standing with millions of Iranians who want freedom.
We must end transnational repression .

So many of the people who wanted a ceasefire in Gaza are so upset there's now a ceasefire in Gaza it almost makes you wonder if they had a different agenda this entire time...

[Titania McGrath @TitaniaMcGrath]

My friends and I have been out all day protesting against this ceasefire.

We demand a ceasefire that wasn’t arranged by Donald Trump.

We will never give up the struggle for peace. ✊

@perezreverte Estupendo el programa, y gracias por exponerse con ese final que sobrecoge.
