big secret to happiness is just liking stuff. finding more stuff to like. finding ways to like stuff you didn’t before. recognizing what it feels like to like something and doubling down on that. what feels frivolous is actually the whole ballgame

Hey my medicine and public health people!

How much do you know about eugenics?

Just old pseudoscience, you say?

Any idea how much it continues to influence us?

Answer: A LOT.

I taught a class on the history of eugenics and public health today. Here's what we covered: 🧵

We tested 10 behavioral interventions to mitigate #climatechange in 63 countries (N = 59,440)

The interventions’ effectiveness was small, largely limited to nonclimate skeptics, and differed across outcomes:

-Beliefs were strengthened mostly by decreasing psychological distance (by 2.3%)
-Policy support by writing a letter to a future-generation member (2.6%)
-Information sharing by negative emotion induction (12.1%)
-No intervention increased the more effortful behavior—several interventions even backfired by reducing tree planting!
