Non-Zero-Sum James - YouTube A podcast where I read my blog to you, and chit-chat a little. I'm Non-Zero-Sum James, your companion on this exploration of win-win games and how they are e...

The Non-Zero-Sum James podcast is now up on YOUTUBE. Amazing. If that's how you listen to your podcast... here you go.

Ha, just going through my twitter DMs before abandoning it altogether, and realised that back in 2010 I totally ghosted Taika Waititi... #oop #sorry #proxyfamous

Last year I was lucky enough to spend 6 months cutting a beautiful documentary for Leanne Pooley with my long-time editing partner Tim Woodhouse and we just won Best Editing: Documentary / Factual at the NZ Screen Awards!

Lol, I mean I haven't even arranged the petition, what are we doing here?

Yeah, I get that, a threat to our solid sense of self.

Doing your creative work in waiting rooms is next level dedication to your craft.

Oh yes, no problem with music with no vocals (except bagpipes obviously).

Ah, the demon dogs. I feel you, but even if you’ve made the awful mistake of not bringing a book, surely you’ve got a phone aka “the universal adult pacifier”).

I’m starting a movement against music in waiting rooms. If I’m sitting for an hour, I want to read, not listen to music I didn’t choose.

Who’s with me?

Hmm, genuinely torn whether this is saying the past sucked or the present sucks.

I think wanting something and doing what is necessary to achieve something are two very different things.

I think in the end we might want opposition to lose or die, but first would just just like them to change.

lol, thankfully my eyes survived, closed them just in time, but my face was covered!

5.56!

As soon as the people employing actual bias realised they could excuse their own bias merely by accusing others of the same.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU GET TO, THERE YOU ARE A humorous reflection on life lessons learned through car ownership, revealing that true fulfillment comes from within, not from external achievements.

Has it ever occurred to you that good times never make for great stories, but disasters... often... do?

I'm mixing it up this week with a funny story... that wasn't so funny at the time. #mishaps #cars #oops #disaster #tesla #panic

Two of my favourite people chatting youtu.be/fcjmd_ClJJo?...

Xenophobia in the Light of Evolution: On the Origins of Anti-Immigration Sentiment Besides racial prejudice, what else is behind xenophobia? Among the evolved human instincts, we can find at least two for the anti-immigration sentiment: territoriality and the endowment effect.

A great piece by Prosocial World on the evolutionary origins of xenophobia.

This is definitely another factor

Oh! Thanks for the heads up

Hmm, doesn't the chart illustrate that kids *are* safer when not wandering the streets? Or are you meaning they would be safer on Halloween if they wandered more often?

Great, I’ll DM you tomorrow

What are you looking for? I'm always keen for a collab—nice of you to offer to buy, but depending on how much work it is, I'd be happy to just sketch up something for you no charge.

Thanks so much :)

Thanks, I actually picked up "Finite and Infinite Games" at a friend's place and started reading, it was fascinating, I've intended to get around to finding a copy to finish it, but haven't yet.

It's one of my recent favourites, I'm probably over-using it. As a NZer I generally skew towards the queen's english (kings english?), but I do appreciate some American terms.. I also find "Y'all" useful often (note: not "oftentimes" 🤢).

Sounds like horseshoe politics to me.

Well this at least ends with a disaster averted and a lesson learned. But yes, I hear you, today’s news reads as a drawn out Greek tragedy.

Lol, tell me you haven’t read past the title without telling me you haven’t read past the title.
