Psychologist and writer. Author of the memoir Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class, and of a newsletter on human nature, psychology, social class and what he calls luxury beliefs.
If you had no college degree, were backed mostly by voters without degrees, yet claimed to be the voice of the formally educated, people would laugh. But a college grad backed by other college grads can claim to be the voice of the working class and people just accept it. Weird. Related

NEW podcast episode is up! "Why Kids Can Learn 10x Faster Than We Think — @NielsHoven of @MentavaInc (Tim Coaching Session)" This episode is a bit different. It’s a live, unscripted working session with a founder, and I’ve only done one other earlier this year. Niels Hoven (@NielsHoven) is the founder and CEO of Mentava, a company building software to support fast learners. Eager kids are dramatically underserved by today’s education system, and Niels created Mentava to allow students to achieve their potential.

We are so encouraged by the response to Expert Intelligence from authors and publishers. Books (and other published knowledge) should thrive in the age of language models. And we're eager to bring EI to other Google surfaces soon beyond @Gemini_Notebook. So much more to do! Quoting @PublishersWkly Google's new AI tool, Expert Intelligence, lets readers query e-books bought from the Google Play store, along with other features, and includes more than 100,000 titles, mostly trade nonfiction, from such publishers as Penguin Random House, Macmillan, and Bloomsbury, who noted the tool’s respect f… Google Related

Writer and illustrator behind Wait But Why, a long-form blog of stick-figure-illustrated explainers on science, technology and society, and author of the book What's Our Problem?
Abortion is an eternal debate but can we at least agree that the really extreme positions (“a 15-year-old girl who gets pregnant cannot have an abortion 2 days later” / “a healthy 38-week fetus can be induced and killed instead of given up for adoption”) are just mad? Quoting @LifeNewsHQ Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signs the bill for abortions up to birth as Democrats celebrate. Related

Writer and researcher on China, technology and industry; author of Breakneck, research fellow at Stanford, known for a widely read annual letter.
I outline a bear case for China to @DouthatNYT: substantial numbers of the rich, the creative, and the desperate are eager to emigrate — the latter trekking across the southwestern US border. Whose great rejuvenation is this? And a scenario in which China wins: it doesn’t have to recreate American financial, cultural, and diplomatic power. If it succeeds narrowly at being a technological superpower, which it’s on track to do, it could militarily subdue the US while worsening America’s economic and political dysfunctions nytimes.com

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
