I would rather know, and say, what is true, instead of trying to make things better. Unfortunately, you can't do both. You have to choose. Action needs belief. baasoo.com Scotch Plains, NJ Joined March 2008

Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.

When you ask somebody why they did something, you are essentially asking them to lie. The conscious self does not have 'free will' over the self's actions and so can only post-rationalize any intentions. Any answer should begin with "..may be because" instead of "..because I".

Great podcast. Would love to read the book. I have to say though it does sound like @sapinker already covered a lot of this ground in #TheBlankSlate almost 20 years ago!

In @CityJournal, I sum up my view of the BLM movement: they're right about several important things, but wrong about the alleged problem of racist police shootings. city-journal.org/reflections-on…

To end racism is we need to make interracial marriage a norm. Affirmative action can give free education for life, to all children of interracial couples. Same race couples have taken the easy way out. Society owes it to interracial couples, who are a leading edge against racism.

This epistemological crisis, our inability to know whether something is true, as opposed to what we believe in, is more than anything else, responsible for the fragmentation of our beliefs. - @doctorow @seanmcarroll
