@SeattleIndepen1 @WarHistoryProf Given your handle, you may recall the Battle of Seattle. These were people foreseeing and protesting the mess you describe. They were not overruled by academics, but by the exact groups you're now cheerleading for.

@SeattleIndepen1 @WarHistoryProf Guess the sadopopulism thesis was right all along.

@nntaleb They're not supposed to last. They are leverage for restructuring international relations. Trump is setting up a racketeering scheme.

@ESYudkowsky Solve novel farmer-and-a-goat type problems -- if they are not dedicated farmer-and-a-goat AIs that is

@SchnurreZueri @disclosetv OK, so people whose job is to track, analyse, interpret and discuss current events, who view issues from several perspectives, tend to themselves gravitate towards the left. Gotcha.

@BartBurggraaf @Peter26061980 Ja, als je denkt dat de VVD links is, dan zie je linkse partijen hier niets over zeggen. De SP pleit wel degelijk voor BTW-verlaging, hoor. De markt voor rechtse charlatans is overigens verzadigd!

@kamiel79 @elonmusk haha yes the fighter jet, how could i forget

[Vincent Tijms @vtijms]

@kamiel79 @elonmusk At least the European ones under the post-WW2 consensus. Our taxes buy U.S. services and goods and in return they take over the whole war business.

Are there any such things as mind viruses? And if you were infected by one, how could you tell? My new piece with historian @HofhuisSteije in @Quillette. We discuss @RichardDawkins @danwilliamsphil @GadSaad @DavidDeutschOxf @Sander_vdLinden @DrAndyNo https://t.co/QQY9nsMqgw

@EndWokeness So basically instead of a trick with no insight, they're teaching insight into the nature of addition now? Pretty awesome, this generation is prepared for thinking!

@Cultuurfilosoof @NickdenHolland3 Ik heb het over de gehele wetenschapsdynamiek.

[Vincent Tijms @vtijms]

@NickdenHolland3 @Cultuurfilosoof Er zal sowieso een stuk minder ingediend worden. We gaan voor de bodem en de losers juichen het toe. Verliezers, bedoel ik.

[Vincent Tijms @vtijms]

@Cultuurfilosoof Rechts moet misschien eens verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor hun eigen ideeën en het langzaamaan slopen van de liberale democratie. 25 jaar marcheren en nog altijd huilen dat links ze ertoe dwong.

@richmondie @T_Durden_69 @Agippo_Vermith @algekalipso Indeed we do! Even it wouldn't feel that way or we wouldn't assume it.

[Vincent Tijms @vtijms]

@T_Durden_69 @Agippo_Vermith @richmondie @algekalipso I've studied several subpersonal processes. They service an integration that is bigger than them and that's where decision-making happens, at the organism level. Can't really lecture here, but there's good books on neuroscience and agency.

[Vincent Tijms @vtijms]

@cees_dekker Geweldig, wat een prachtig project!

[Alberto Acerbi @acerbialberto]

More support to the idea that pre-existing psychological tendencies count more than (mis)information exposure for conspiracy thinking.

Rabbit holes are for rabbits.

@kevinsimler See here for more on that topic:

(Getting ready to reboot this series btw)

[Vincent Tijms @vtijms]

@kevinsimler And I'd make sure to also discuss when critical thinking should be deployed and when it would be a waste of (cognitive) resources. That metacognition, the well-calibrated bullshit alarm system, needs tweaking.
