Great chat between @Liv_Boeree and @tobyordoxford about the edges of the universe and other spacey things that are hard to understand:

What if I told you that roughly $500 for therapy + a little cash helped the most troubled young men in West Africa drop their crime and violence by half. For at least 10 years.

Almost 350 fewer crimes PER PARTICIPANT over 10y.

That's ~$1.50 per crime averted.

My first boss, David Remnick, interviews Stephen Kotkin, the king of Soviet history and the reason I went into this whole Russia business, and the result does not disappoint. Holy shit.

"Speaking about Eastern Europe and Eastern Europeans without listening to local voices or trying to understand the region’s complexity is a colonial projection."

@jan_smolenski and I wrote about Ukraine, NATO, and the phenomenon of westsplaining.

Because I like exterminating any residual shreds of faith in humanity, I looked through the overwhelmingly hostile comments on a YouTube video by a doctor debunking some covid misinformation tonight. I noticed an interesting parallel to some “election theft” disinfo.

I wrote for Foreign Affairs on China’s new technology drive. US export controls have victimized China's leading firms, giving all of them something to fear from being dependent on US technology. Now they're pursuing self-sufficiency with a vengeance:

New study shows AstraZeneca and Pfizer have similar instances of blood clots, and that blood clots are far far more likely in covid patients that people who’ve had the AZ jab. U.K. officials react with genuine fury at EU leaders who trashed AZ https://t.co/8q9CEXoLvz

Love how @JamesClear talks about forming better habits:

“If you show up at the gym 5 days in a row—even for 2 minutes—you're casting votes for your new identity. You’re not worried about getting in shape. You're focused on becoming the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts.”

That a business should not do Y (e.g., reduce the cost of accessing space) because X is more important is a type of false dilemma. Technological and economic progress simultaneously happening in many areas is a proven way to solve problems. https://t.co/4pfSCLsaMp

I think it’s time to start making my thread of threads and begin reeling in my dissipated brain.

It’s almost impossible to predict the future. But it’s also unnecessary, because *most people are living in the past*.

All you have to do is see the present before everyone else does.

Article positing Just In Time is responsible for the everything shortage.

1) in the counterfactual, what level of buffer stocks and supply redundancies would have bridged the covid shock?

2) how many businesses could absorb that capital and cost?

One of the key insights of the tech industry and Internet-based commerce is that in addition to a response to price the demand curve responds, much more strongly than almost anyone would believe, to transactional friction.

We have, over the last year, witnessed a modern version of denying Galileo. “Believe science” ought never be conflated with “believe experts”, who got SARS-CoV-2 transmission completely wrong. From @zeynep:
