I wonder if I am the only idiot who didn't know that if you buy glasses from @WarbyParker and they stop carrying the frame, they won't make new lenses for it if your prescription changes? You just have to throw them away. Buyer beware!
Performing Shakespeare with Justice Sandra Day O'Conner at the Aspen Ideas Festival was a highlight of my life. And she was great! RIP.

I loved Twitter. Now I don’t. So I’m trying Threads. So far, I’m not impressed. Lots of celebs posturing for fans, few thinkers sharing ideas. Hoping it will lose the “Insta vibe” and willing to give it some time. It would help if all of you were there.
I agree strongly with this. b-gat.es/442HtIj
In today's NY Times, @a_m_mastroianni explains why people all over the world mistakenly think morality has declined: shorturl.at/vEHIX
Fabulous new paper in @Nature by my friend @DanTGilbert &the inimitable @a_m_mastroianni showing that people's perception of moral decline is pervasive, durable, and unfounded. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/
Great summary of a terrific paper. One of the coolest findings I've read about in a long while.

My paper with @DanTGilbert is out today in Nature: people believe that people are less kind than they used to be, they're probably wrong about that, and we have an idea where this illusion comes from. nature.com/articles/s4158…
If you think people are less moral than they used to be, you're not alone. But you're probably wrong. See my new @Nature paper with @a_m_mastroianni on "the illusion of moral decline". shorturl.at/opwBI

Blue checks were symbols of notoriety. So Musk decided to sell them, which made them valueless as symbols. Now he is rushing to give them back to some, hoping to reinstate their value, but those who had them don’t want them anymore. Great demo of basic Psych & Econ principles!

Elizabeth Tsurkov is a PhD researcher at Princeton. She was kidnapped over a year ago by Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq. Yesterday, the flag of the sister organization of her kidnappers was raised at the Princeton protests.
Hezbollah is a very odd cause for free-thinking people in a free society to support. And, oddly enough, it's difficult to oppose Hezbollah in territories it controls.
The pure hate, anti- semitism, and overall vile language I have witnessed recently is simply disgusting. I could not begin to even know how this makes a person feel, a family or a friend. Hate has no place in our society from anyone! It should be condemned by all immediately.…

@JonHaidt @politico @MarcNovicoff Jon, I have had MANY therapy clients struggle with TikTok. Like junk food, what we want is not often what we need & doesn’t make us happy. Harvard psychologist @DanTGilbert & colleagues called this “miswanting”.
@JonHaidt @politico @MarcNovicoff Jon, I have had MANY therapy clients struggle w TikTok (not the cause of their struggles but definitely not helping). Like junk food, what we want is often not healthy/good for us. Harvard’s @DanTGilbert and colleagues called this “miswanting.” We have it on steroids thru tech.
At every stage of our lives we make decisions that will profoundly influence the lives of the people we’re going to become, and then when we become those people, we’re not always thrilled with the decisions we made. - @DanTGilbert

Dan taught me not just how to be a scientist, but how to keep a sense of wonder about research, and how to share that wonder with others. I only hope that I can pass along a tenth of what he's given me to my future students. (5/6)
But simply put, my life changed the day I met my doctoral advisor, @DanTGilbert. The amount I've learned working alongside him as we turned our odd ideas into even odder experiments is incalculable, or at the very least, way over this platform's character limit. (4/6)
