When I defined extremism as a commitment to "hostile action" instead of requiring "violence," this is the kind of thing I was talking about. www.jmberger.com/extremism/de...

I need Haidt to take a seat and maybe listen to researchers that talk to actual children. Or even just spend some time in online spaces where children and youth hang out. This discourse is so old already and reveals more about his lack of insights than youth culture

I know a bunch of inept clowns are jeopardizing our national security on the daily but can we please not forget that a ketamine-addicted foreigner is busy destroying Social Security because he can't regulate his emotions and is completely unable to function in social society?

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

The attack on universities and higher ed hits hard. But is just starting. Collective response will be needed. “the administration’s pursuit of Columbia was a test drive — a way to gauge public reaction, assess the prospects of legal pushback and develop a precedent” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/n...

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

A lot of global academic conferencing is centered around the US, and US academic orgs have to be thinking very seriously now. You cannot continue to carry on with in person conferencing as if foreign scholars have no impediments to travel. I know we like to pretend everything is "normal" again but..

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Big fan of the QAA podcast and @annieknk.bsky.social's episodes in particular so super chuffed to be cited in this episode 😊 Obviously, the flipside is that when my work is cited, it means things are not going well... on.soundcloud.com/EmJR9PXP7Vdq...
