And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

So many of my software engineering are becoming exhausted and disenchanted of "coding" after having to vibe code to keep up with their workload.

Just published my review of neuroscience in 2025, on The Spike.
The 10th of these, would you believe?
This year we have foundation models, breakthroughs in using light to understand the brain, a gene therapy, and more
Enjoy!

Now that I got newyorker for the sacks piece, there's other cool stuff to read
Why A.I. Didn’t Transform Our Lives in 2025 www.newyorker.com/culture/2025...
Adrian Tchaikovsky is pushing the envelope of sci fi. He explores evolution, other minds, sentience, and complexity science. My favorite is "children of time" on a civilisation of jumping spiders, but I see he has way more books to explore

“How comedy was destroyed by an anti-reality doomsday cult”
It’s super insightful into Joe Rogan’s cult of comedy and his role in MAGA .
Fun little Christmas documentary

Incredible piece on Oliver Sacks. If you were ever awed at his supposedly true stories (I remember being stunned by the account of the autistic twins who rattled off large prime numbers), read this. He told wonderful stories, but they were in large part fiction.

YouTube channels are being bought en masse by private equity firms. Over time, this will diminish the quality and deter indie producers. Be aware of which channels you are paying attention to.
