That can work! So long as all the other riders didn’t go with Waymo so they wouldn’t have to be subjected to unwanted convos. We’ll just have to toss a Meyers-Briggs quiz onto their profile system, LOL.

I specifically refer to the mandate for using God-awful government-procured software, but I suppose CAC ownership in any capacity is a little scary these days… 😕

Use your CAC login 😟

How funny - chatting with Uber drivers is one of my favorite aspects of the experience! Maybe Waymo will be the great rideshare dividers between introverts and extroverts 😆

I have also unfortunately learned that asking ChatGPT to format/reformat citations based on said spreadsheet method is also a recipe for disaster. But the day they build an AI that can do that will be a day of great celebration!

I constantly have so many problems with reference software. I usually use a shared spreadsheet with my coauthors and we just paste them right in like it’s the 1900s or something! 😉

I kind of love that it creates work for the local “fix-it” guy though!

I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley in CA and all I can see is Tuolumne 😆

LOL it says that you are tougher than me and WAY tougher than my friend 🤣

That is SUCH a creepy movie. My friend told me we HAD to watch it one night at his apartment, and about 30 mins in, I turned around and realized he’d left me by myself to go play guitar in another room because it scared him 🤣🤣

I frequently come home to MSP on a late-night flight, and the whole terminal is more or less deserted at that hour. Very spooky. See also: Watching a late movie at the Mall of America that lets out well after mall closing, then navigating that hulk without another soul in sight.

Never are strangers on LinkedIn so intrigued and personally moved by your scientific endeavors than when you’ve posted a job opening on your page for one of your startup clients.

May we all aspire to this level of “best life” living 🤩

US #scientist Dr Fred #Ramsdell was "living his best life" offline when the Nobel committee tried to contact him.

He told the BBC his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize [for medicine]” was: "I did not."

Confirmed! I’m excited to be able to tour the sequels without the super bad ones killing my momentum, LOL.

Thanks! Our house has been looking for scary movies to watch for spooky season, and I think you just lined up the next 4 😃😱

Now, as someone who has only ever seen the original, can they be watched in this order?

I love the check-in to make sure he wasn’t your friend, first 🤣

I love that the iMacs are made in colors again. I got a yellow one recently. Its metal, so not as bright as the old plastic iMacs, but still super fun. Even the cables were yellow ☺️

So in this photo - that’s a naturally occurring formation? If so, that’s so cool!

The McNair Honors Scholar program was the reason I was able to navigate and afford the process of applying to graduate school. Ronald McNair’s legacy helped me become the first college graduate in my family AND the first to earn a Ph.D. He means a lot to me ❤️

I see a lion roaring! 🦁

As someone who is admittedly a pretty harsh critic against a lot of self-report metrics, I feel like it’s important that I give this a read. Thank you for sharing!

Shocking new study results! Does ice cream cause violence? Data from summer months shows disturbing trend. 🤓

The Compounding Crime of Other-ing Why do we get so furious with people who don’t look and act exactly like us?

Who knew a conversation about someone working at a burger joint would help me finally figure out how to write an article on in-groups/out-groups and how they escalate into polarization?

Follow-up question: Were participants able to remember the experience in any sort of meaningful way?

Chris, would you say that your working hypothesis could also be described as a state where predictive processing is shut down, and the mind is experiencing pure, unmodified sensory data input free of influence from established priors?

I’ve been on a little hiatus from blogging. But now I’ve got a new article you can check out - get an answer to the mystery of why I left, PLUS bonus explanations of the “extended mind” model AND cognitive dissonance. Lucky you!
