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.

Here's my 4th tutorial in my "R for Hockey Analysis" series, where I show you how you can use #rstats for hockey data.

I'm beginning to question the assumption that exploration is a quality of good decision making. In human work, it assumes that people have lived safe lives where seeking information has resulted in good outcomes. This is not a valid assumption for much of humanity. — Grissom Lab (@NicolaGrissom) January 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/NicolaGrissom

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". — Grissom Lab (@NicolaGrissom) January 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/NicolaGrissom

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.

Right. Take a deep breath. 🥵 After the #NoConfidenceVote I have reworked my Brexit flow diagram. 🚨 The events of the last two days have made this more complex, not less.

2/2 – Also true that *other* extremely hard part of the job, apart from making decisions, is persuading others to go along with you. That *generally* requires seeing them in person — Rep/Sens, foreign leaders, crowds that don't already agree w you.

1/2 Two contradictory truths about "executive time" for presidents:– It's really true that, in normal circumstances, a prez's time is *most* precious commodity, and must be ferociously guarded to allow chance to think, second-guess, recharge. So "blank" time. is precious time. — James Fallows (@JamesFallows) February 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/JamesFallows
