1) Missed the UPS delivery of our new bowls, but got a walk around the neighborhood with my spouse this evening in a light rain, looking for the truck. It was a lovely way to spend time together, even if we didn’t succeed.
2) Tried a robot taxi for the first time today. It was fun (although I will call a human next time).
3) Started listening to #PreetBharara in 2017. This week touched on 3 Good Things! (Interview starts abt 13:00)

1) #Aikido - lots of folks prepping for tests, lots of earnest training. Lots of sweat.
2) The grossly stupid thing from work is resolved, thanks to hard work from a lot of dedicated people.
3) Listening to #PreetBharara, @JoyceVance , #HeatherCoxRichardson , and #IanBremmer talk about the aftermath of the election made me feel a bit more hopeful and energized. Yeah, this is bad. And also we will keep fighting for a better world. Just keep going.

In an interview with #PreetBharara and Steve Case, #GovernorWesMoore started a sentence with “Come #election day…”

What I *heard* was “Kamalection Day.” So according to science that means she is going to #win!

#GOP can stay home, it’s a wrap. Whew! You’re welcome #MAGA - know how boring it was for that guy’s supporters to have to do all that voting all the time!

#JamieRaskin is a badass.

@JoyceVance I would love to hear from you and #PreetBharara whether there is even a prayer some party to the #Jan6th cases might press this. Has this ever been forced in the #SupremeCourt? Feels like we might have heard about it if it had - and if not, I wonder why not.

Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, speaking to Preet Bharara, runs through how to potentially change people's minds in a polarised environment.

In brief:
- ask questions, not "speak at" the person.
- ask how they arrived at their views.
- ask: in theory, what would it take for them to change their view?
- refrain from questioning their humanity or sense of morality.

She briefly explains the whys in the podcast (this topic comes towards the later part of the podcast). She also discusses her experience in trying to apply behavioural science insights to public policy.

Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans. She also served as a Senior Advisor in the Obama White House, where she founded and served as Chair of the White House Behavioral Science Team. Preet speaks with Shankar about how our brains work — how we make decisions, relate to one another’s beliefs, and handle big changes in our lives. Plus, Preet’s thoughts on the new special counsel tasked with overseeing DOJ’s investigations into Donald Trump’s involvement in the January 6 insurrection and the unauthorized removal of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
