@mattyglesias Nice post this morning on their book.

@michaelshermer @Evolutionistrue I don’t think nones should be counted as atheists.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@mattyglesias @ATabarrok The bipartisan support is somewhat surprising given the polarizing nature of most talk radio on AM against democrats. Democrats should try to gain concessions from broadcasters and not just roll over and comply, given the dubious narratives used against them on opinion AM radio.

We Asked AI To Simulate How The Founding Fathers Would React To Our Time And They Were Shocked

Isn't this something like how Skynet got created in the Terminator movies?

Joe Rogan: “My hope is as AI becomes more omnipresent, as we start farming off various tasks to it, one of the things we’re gonna farm off is government, how we interact with other countries. I know that’s terrifying to people, but just think of the disastrous effects we’ve had so far with humans doing it. If all international military conflicts ended instantaneously upon AI governing the use of conflicts and military weapons. Imagine that? Imagine a war where it stops. All war stops on the planet”

@JoyceCarolOates A substantial fraction of our media (fox, talk radio, conservative Twitter) scrubs or filters out all the flaws you listed. That’s a big reason we got here.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

Molly Jong-Fast is unusual as a commentator in that she rarely says anything as a quip or wisecrack, to get quick laughs like Bill Maher & others. in any public setting the temptation must be considerable to be entertaining, contrarian, "outrageous." much respect for this restraint.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@RedWavePress Yeah, like so many liberals doing the Latinx thing these days!

[Luiz Pessoa @PessoaBrain]

This illusory motion display is insane

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@Noahpinion Im in Chicago right now and im just not seeing what hes describing.

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

If you want to know what’s wrong with Washington, take a look at the Rand Paul/Dr. Fauci hearing. Pointing fingers and assigning blame rather than learning lessons to prevent the next pandemic. Where are the hearings on the measles outbreak? How about hearings on the cyclosporiasis outbreak?

If that’s not enough to get you sick, this administration continues to leave Americans more vulnerable than ever to disease as they continue to dismantle the FDA and the CDC.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@anilkseth @StuartHameroff Nice to see you both together like that.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@Noahpinion Thanks for your work on this!

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@Philip_Goff @TylerDMcNabb Thanks, this is something I think about too.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@Philip_Goff Thanks for discussing this important topic.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@billmaher Maybe he wants to inspire people to become active citizens and be a helpful force in society.

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@BrendanCarrFCC So when are you going to apply your reasoning to talk radio?

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@VigilantFox Interesting. I’m curious exactly which physicists or neuroscientists she’s listening to . (I doubt that they are representative of their fields. But consciousness is truly a mystery.)

[George R Williams @wrldtree]

@Mylovanov Thanks for posting!
