Every second, our senses take in billions of bits of information, but the speed of thought is agonizingly slow -- just about 10 bits per second. A new paper tries to make sense of this basic disconnect at the heart of the human experience. 🧪 www.caltech.edu/about/news/t...

The job of media commentators is to respond thoughtfully to how people feel, not to tell them how to feel. Which is why the editorials deploring the reaction to the healthcare CEO slaying are such failures of curiosity and understanding, such triumphs of obliviousness and elite panic.

I'm reading this book on burnout and it says a study done on college students where they pretended to be mice found that the students who were running towards cheese outperformed the students who were being chased by an owl. I've been thinking about that a lot.

New research that backs up something you might know intuitively: evoking anger and outrage is how misinformation spreads. So stop resharing outrage bait without at least reading the content. Hmm… maybe we should have a mandatory “cooling off”/RTFA pause before being allowed to reshare links?

Why do insects fly around artificial lights? They don't actually want to fly towards them, they just can't really get away from them. Insects naturally tilt their dorsum towards a light source, and as a result end up flying around it in circles, trapped. 🧪 🦋 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
