[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

If it were true that raw intelligence was sufficient for a human to want to dominate others and succeed at it, then Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Leonard Euler, Niels Abel, Kurt Gödel and other scientists would have been both rich and powerful, and they were neither.
1. Intelligence is not a scalar quantity. You can be amazing in one domain and pretty bad in another (that's what geeks are).
2. To dominate, you have to have a drive to dominate. In human societies, domination is rather frowned upon as a way to obtain status. Prestige is preferred.

@pjohanneson LEGO is always an adjective. So LEGO bricks, LEGO elements, LEGO sets, etc. Never, ever "legos."

@randal_olson This survey is from 2015. It'd be interesting to know what happened next.

Saddened to hear that David Graeber of LSE has died. We lost a sharp, original mind.

His chief legacy may be a sliver of insight that he examined thoroughly: "Bullshit jobs".

Celebrate his life and ideas with this interview from @TheEconomist.

[Oxford Mathematics @OxUniMaths]

The web is full of words. It is also full of equations. But while you can search for words there is no comparable search engine for equations. @RenaudLambiotte has an idea.

1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.
