@counternotions and the “phone” part is an even more paleolithic reference than the “i” part.
@gruber @pluralistic not precisely exculpatory. Akin to saying “well, that’s a lower cancer rate than at the Love canal”.
@counternotions oh, shit. I thought so.
@counternotions TED talks’ popularity were built on the innate preference we have for pretty, simple stories over gnarly, unconvenient facts.
@counternotions prince who? meaghan what?

@hypercritical I love listening to you and reading your stuff. You are very smart, very kind, very human. I tend to agree with you most of the time, and not because I had already gotten to the same conclusion as you. Many times I had never thought about the topic at hand. Other times I had thought about it, but I had a different perspective, and your reasoning led me to change my mind.

This is the exception. I don’t want this and I don’t care for it.
