- Replying to @tariqnasheedI've worked with autistic and other neurodivergent kids, they often lash out when pestered like this because they require routine. Your lack of compassion here for the individual due to his purported race, is disgusting. You are the racist. You are the one lacking humanity.
- Bertrand Russell's birthday is a worthy excuse to share his rules for critical thinking.
- Replying to @choo_ekAnti-racism runs contrary to the Hippocratic Oath, because it is not a universal framework... It has already undermined medical ethics due to ideologues arguing vaccine priority should be based on racial group level rather than age & comorbidity risk factors, causing deaths.
- The #CathyNewmanFallacy whereby instead of interpreting analysis, people conflate it with inferred desires. Eg. "I think Trump is going to be elected". "So you're saying you want Trump to be elected and you're going to vote for him." "No, that's not what I'm saying."
- Most UK police don't even deploy with firearms. This should demonstrate that much of what is going on is not about the police at all.
- Across the lineage of human history, which goes back some 4-6 million years, nearly everything our ancestors thought they knew was wrong. Accordingly, we should do our best to maintain a degree of suspicion towards our beliefs and treat them with doubt and skepticism.
- Replying to @catcontentonlyIt's cool to be woke and all, but you're apologising for the consumption of Koalas. Disgusting. ๐จ m.thechronicle.com.au/news/koalas-baโฆ
- Is this the bitcoin *halving* I keep hearing about? $BTC
- Amazing how a little bit of positive price action is sucking people in, in the face of lockdowns of US cities in the coming weeks... There will be bargains, but we're not yet in the basement.
- Politics is a Machiavellian power game where rather than picking an objective to advance one's values, people will pick the values which advance their objective. Eg The left's increasing abandonment of the values of reason & individualism, for the objective of equity at any cost.
- I'm looking forward to this coming out. Helen and James have immense courage to take on those who so aggressively enforce this ideology. The biggest challenge is it has overtaken academia whilst being completely impervious to scrutiny & thus stubbornly untethered to reality.
- I've got some pretty exciting news twitter friends. I'm relocating to London next month to take a role as Finance Director of an exciting fintech business, which will be under the umbrella of a wider VC biz I'll be an MD of.
