The fact that literally zero outlets ever cover crime decline as a story is a huge reason. (And before you yell at me, we do!)

Stand with science. Always.

I tell every kid that asks, that you paid money to learn. Now it’s time to get paid to learn. You don’t need a perfect job. You need to be the best as you can at your job. People like jobs they are good at

But.

You are always a free agent. You can always be looking and learn more in a new job

Yup. The NBA doesn’t do a good job of managing and training the officials. Just look at the GLeague officiating. It is easier to officiate. It should have great officials, pushing to replace the refs who can’t make the playoffs. It doesn’t work that way. Unfortunately.

Google Says It Appears to Have Accessed Parallel Universes Google argued that its new uber-powerful quantum computer is so fast that it may have tapped a parallel universe.

"This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe," he argued. "It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse..."

The illusion of information adequacy How individuals navigate perspectives and attitudes that diverge from their own affects an array of interpersonal outcomes from the health of marriages to the unfolding of international conflicts. The finesse with which people negotiate these differing perceptions depends critically upon their tacit assumptions—e.g., in the bias of naïve realism people assume that their subjective construal of a situation represents objective truth. The present study adds an important assumption to this list of biases: the illusion of information adequacy. Specifically, because individuals rarely pause to consider what information they may be missing, they assume that the cross-section of relevant information to which they are privy is sufficient to adequately understand the situation. Participants in our preregistered study (N = 1261) responded to a hypothetical scenario in which control participants received full information and treatment participants received approximately half of that same information. We found that treatment participants assumed that they possessed comparably adequate information and presumed that they were just as competent to make thoughtful decisions based on that information. Participants’ decisions were heavily influenced by which cross-section of information they received. Finally, participants believed that most other people would make a similar decision to the one they made. We discuss the implications in the context of naïve realism and other biases that implicate how people navigate differences of perspective.

Recent work on the “illusion of information adequacy” shows how we assume we know enough—even when crucial info is missing. This bias, linked to naïve realism, highlights why critical thinking requires questioning what we don’t know.
