Don't trust smart people! - Matthew T. Mason

If a smart person tells you an idea, you should be skeptical. Maybe you are biased by your respect for the source, or maybe the source is a talented idea salesperson. But if you hear a brilliant idea from a dummy, the idea is standing on its own, you can trust it. Let’s call it Schneider’s Law. The irony is that Jeff Schneider is smart, so Schneider’s Law implies that we cannot trust Schneider’s Law, which means that we can, which means that we cannot, which means … OK, I’m sure you get it.

When Do People Speak Out Against Tyranny?

A new game might help answer this question. Researchers created a mathematical model to see how ruling powers and individual people make choices and weigh tradeoffs in authoritarian regimes. What they found suggests that self-censorship is less a simple fear response and more a strategic one: Whether someone is willing to risk speaking out is governed by the likelihood of getting caught and the severity of punishments they might face. But certain personality traits, such as boldness, that can characterize entire populations, play an important part. The researchers published their results in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors."
