Public broadcasting has an important role to play in improving the quality of public debate as a neutral arbiter to be trusted by all. The fact that it is often not neutral politically undermines this role. optimallyirrational.com/i/140343874/a-…

When a leader’s political survival depends on the outcome of an international conflict, war can become a “rational” strategy, even if it is costly for the country. ht @edenhofer_jacob journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.10…
New post 👇. I argue: (1) The media rarely makes things up. (2) Media bias is nevertheless widespread. (3) Media bias is identified by biased individuals with beliefs acquired via biased media. (4) Misinformation is therefore hard to study objectively. conspicuouscognition.com/p/the-media-ve…
Trivia: when Juliet says “Wherefore art thou, Romeo”, she doesn’t wonder where Romeo is. She is asking why his name is Romeo (a Montague). An iconic illustration of how English has changed over time. by @JohnHMcWhorter
Great video. In the 1980s, Steve Jobs argues that monopolies like Xerox and IBM are run by marketing people, not by product people; once you have market share, product innovation no longer generates profits Now that Apple is a monopoly, is it run by marketing people?

“You cannot convince people to engage in good-faith arguments if they have strong incentives not to.” @page_eco explains why we don't all argue rigourously like scientists (including, increasingly, scientists!)—it’s the incentives: buff.ly/49wUjR4
It is often said that you should "pay enough, or don't pay at all". But what if you pay too much? New paper by @AndyVonasch & team: Overly generous offers lead people to infer "phantom costs" that make them less likely to accept high job wages, cheap plane fares, & free money.
"when I see an older man still engaging in philosophy and not giving it up, that man, Socrates, is in need of a flogging”
"when I see an older man still engaging in philosophy and not giving it up, that man, Socrates, is in need of a flogging”
Why is the quality of 'debate' relatively poor in some places, like politics or social media spats, while it can be very good in science? It's all in the game... in the rules of the communication games we play. Our psychology does not naturally incline us to argue in good faith.…
Objectivity (in science) resides in the collective, not the individual.

Why is AI persuasive? New research finds that while LLMs and humans produce content with similar sentiment levels, LLMs use moral language more frequently and effectively, tapping into moral foundations significantly more than humans.

''You are jaywalking. Please go back to the waiting area!'' If traffic cameras catch you jaywalking, China's SKYNET immediately identifies you, automatically withdraws a fine from your digital wallet WeChat, and deducts 1 social credit point (in Shandong province).
A friend recently came back from China. He spoke in wondrous terms about how safe and clean it was, how easy it was to buy stuff and get it delivered. And he casually mentioned his friend rushing to dinner because her social credit score would get dinged if she was late.
