When intelligent people succumb to ideology, their intellect ceases to guard against wishful thinking and instead begins to fortify it, causing them to inadvertently mastermind their own delusion, and to very cleverly become stupid.

"When punishment for what people say becomes widespread, people stop saying what they really think and instead say whatever is needed to thrive in the social environment. Thus, limits on speech become limits on sincerity." — @G_S_Bhogal

The world is changing rapidly around us. Faster than most people can comprehend.
In times like these, only those who demonstrate high curiosity and elevate their ability to understand things quickly will thrive.
Curiosity prevents people from becoming irrelevant at high speed

At @MSFTResearch we had early access to the marvelous #GPT4 from @OpenAI for our work on @bing. We took this opportunity to document our experience. We're so excited to share our findings. In short: time to face it, the sparks of #AGI have been ignited.

One way to regain control of your attention is to decide what you want to see or say *before* you unlock your phone or open an app. Deny all access until you’ve made a clear and specific choice, and if you can’t, do something else instead.

Just as a longer chain is likelier to break, so a larger conspiracy is likelier to fail. As such, the more conspirators in a conspiracy theory, the likelier it is to be false. Local plots are occasional, national plots rare, but global conspiracies require miracles to coordinate.

"It is hubris to believe that we can avoid sadness. What we can do is try to avoid adding to it through unrealistic expectations, futile attempts to control things beyond our power and unhelpful narratives." ICYMI. Me at The Second Swim 🏊🏼♀️.

It was once enough to do a single job well, but now that AI can outperform humans in almost any single task, we must become versatile, integrating diverse skillsets and rapidly adapting to change. The past belonged to specialists, but the future belongs to generalists.

The biggest danger of the culture war is that it pressures people to take a stance on issues they know little about.

Two adjacent tweets that paint a compelling picture of a "pathologization pandemic" where everyone's personal problems are being blamed on some broader medical or societal issue, perhaps because it absolves us of responsibility for our own well-being.
Or am I just pathologizing?

You should “just be yourself” not because it will make you more likable (it won’t) but because it's only by being yourself that you'll find people who like you for who you really are rather than for someone you're pretending to be.

"The press lost its monopoly on news when the internet democratised info. To save its business model, it pivoted from journalism into tribalism. The new role of the press is not to inform its readers but to confirm what they already believe." — @G_S_Bhogal

The easily outraged are easily manipulated. If you can’t control your emotions, other people will.
Prevent the puppeteering of your passions by postponing your reactions; if a post enrages you, pause, and consider if it was created specifically to enrage you.

Truth is written in the form of numbers, geometry, models, and systems, but our thoughts are written in slogans and stories—formats incompatible with reality.
Trying to use slogans and stories to decipher truth is like trying to use poetry to do arithmetic.
