It struck me a few years ago, sitting there reading some book, as my mind began to wander, that the crucifixion of Jesus is one of those things about the Christian faith that (1) I don’t really understand, and (2) seems vitally important to understand. https://t.co/2FhN5Fi0J6

"The principle that the end justifies the means is in individualist ethics regarded as the denial of all morals. In collectivist ethics it becomes necessarily the supreme rule" – Friedrich Hayek

Christianity’s opening public move, so to speak, was an act of humiliation, shame, and defeat, unworthy of any of the gods. https://t.co/2FhN5Fi0J6

God I love this chart. For most of recorded history, if you had a kid their chance of surviving to age 15 was roughly a coinflip. Then the modern world happened: https://t.co/2Ru1wXc2Ux pic.twitter.com/crokDXbNe6

Have just heard a paleontologist say this, which blew my head off:
When a T-Rex was alive all Stegosaurus were already fossils. A T-Rex is closer in time to an iPad than to a Stegosaurus.— Marc Willcox (@MarcWillcox) September 2, 2019

Today in Comics History: In "Peanuts" on August 2, 1979 (40 years ago), Lucy actually tried to hold the football in place so Charlie Brown could kick it. (Predictably, it did not end well for either of them.) pic.twitter.com/Ivf6dLzJM1

You could make a case that this was Lucy's 2nd attempt to hold the football still, as this attempt took place in the early 1950s. But in the 1979 strip, she seemed well intentioned (for once). pic.twitter.com/5MxmizqxwA

But if you model things that interact with human behavior, and you then show (either explicitly or implicitly) the results of your model to humans, you are via your model changing the very thing you are attempting to predict. Google's ad algorithms aren't just predicting…

Competence dwarfs all other virtues, and nearly every moral system ever devised aims first at disguising that fact.

Now, when we read about the life of Jesus, he seems to have a different take on interruptions…" @jbyas https://t.co/Pu59keBwdI

For essentially every being *other* than powerful people, life is nasty, brutish, and short, and shorter if you mess up. In light of this, choosing to *change* strategies, particularly after finding one that works well enough, goes against "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

This piece began with me trying to figure out why I had "errand paralysis" and ballooned into this much bigger thing. I was convinced I didn't have burnout. But that's because I was convinced that burnout was something you could fix with a vacation: https://t.co/hGHgNX3uSE
