@SteveStuWill@michaelshermer@CambridgeUP@CambUP_Psych A must read for anyone interested in evolutionary psychology. Destined to be a classic.

@awaisaftab Trait based theories of "normal" personality view behaviour as averaged across situations. Mischel's Cognitive Affective System Theory is far more nuanced and could account for disorder through pathological cognitive and affective reactions to situations.
Iraq. Venezuela.
Saddam Hussein. Nicolás Maduro.
35 years apart, but same words, same phrases, same narrative.
Who writes America’s script?

BREAKING: Trump just ended all trade talks with Canada for running what he calls a “fake” ad with Ronald Reagan speaking badly about tariffs.
Besides him being a petulant child, the ad was REAL and simply used Reagan’s own words from this speech. See below:
@bgreene Mind-blowing reminder: we never truly touch anything! In the quantum world, it's just clouds of atoms repelling each other. Mundane yet profound! #quantumphysics
@tylerblack32 It is fascinating to see how he stumbles through reasons to not answer a moral reasoning scenario because it disproves his assertion about lying.
I explain how Robert Kennedy is all wrong about Autism.
"Autism Epidemic" started 30 yrs ago when we loosened Autism definition in DSM-iV.
Studies prove vaccines do not cause Autism.
Kennedy's vaccine denial does cause public health dangers.

@realDonaldTrump Foreign Governments Don’t Pay Tariffs: Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporting country’s government. China isn’t writing a check to the U.S. Treasury; U.S. companies importing Chinese goods are.
@michaelshermer Ask again in a few months once tariffs and other initiatives begin to negatively affect the US populace. Undoubtedly, blame will be shifted by @POTUS to trading partners or some other target.
@michaelshermer The core of postmodernism: there is no such thing as objective truth. Liberalism as a philosophical perspective is orthogonal from leftist authoritarianism that combines neo-Marxism and postmodernism into critical theories based on these faulty philosophies.
@JJ_McCullough@JJ_McCullough Carney’s not just “US educated”—he has a BA from Harvard but Master’s & PhD from Oxford. He lived in the US for ~7 yrs (4 as a student, 3 working), not exactly “many years” in a 60-yr life. He actually lived in the UK longer. anti-American or pro-Canadian?
@politicalham We would expect allies to assist. "With the invocation of Article 5, Allies can provide any form of assistance they deem necessary to respond to a situation." #article5

Canada will not be our 51st state. So why does Trump keep bringing it up? What is the big, clever “art of the deal” play here? I don’t get it. And I’m personally disgusted and embarrassed by it. I want Canada as a strong ally. That serves US interests.
Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating 51st state threats.
