"Christian Miller's The Honesty Crisis diagnoses this problem across a range of social phenomena, drawing on his years of research, and makes the case that the stakes are higher than we realize. Proposing concrete solutions, Miller's urgent and timely book will interest anyone concerned about the moral character of our world, and its future."

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Trump has done everything Putin has wanted him to do.
In Helsinki he stood with Putin and disclaimed U.S. intelligence. He lobbied to bring Russia back into the G-7.
He withheld military aid to Zelensky and pulled out of Syria to give Russia a freer hand.
He questioned NATO, lifted sanctions on Deripaska-linked companies, and walked away from the INF Nuclear Treaty.
He walked away from Open Skies, leaving European allies blind to what Russia was actually doing.
He slowed down Starlink for Ukraine and struck a diesel fuel deal with Russia even though he could’ve gotten a better deal with Canada.
How can you not see the link??

A lot of people are missing the bigger picture when it comes to this video. Yes, it is real that you have a guy with 4 kids out busting his hump just to make a living. It's not a joke, and hardly anybody will disagree. At the same time a punk who has likely never put in an honest, hard day of work goes out and pulls pranks on people to post to social media for clout and clicks. The punk probably rakes in more money a month posting bullshit brain rot to social media while the regular guy has to work long hours, rarely gets to see his kids, and is left wondering if he's going to have enough money to pay the mortgage next month. THAT is the issue. THAT is the point, and fundamentally there is something wrong in this country when you can do F-all and still get paid MORE than someone who puts in an honest day's work. In some way, this guy who crashed out on this punk is all of us, and we've reached our breaking point. I don't have all the answers and if life is tough for this guy, I hope there are better days ahead for him and his family. Being an "influencer" like this punk is, allegedly, IS NOT a real job and I commend this father of 4 for standing up for everybody who goes out there everyday, works hard, and does the right thing.

While Europe promises to stand with Ukraine without taking consequent action, and the US stands with Russia by handicapping Ukraine’s defenses, Russia continues to target and murder Ukrainian civilians every day. Each one also symbolizes the death of the free world order.

Just look at these horrifying images. A father is weeping in despair beside the body of his 15-year-old daughter, whom a Russian missile killed today right in the downtown of Chernihiv.
Russia is the greatest barbarian in the history of humankind🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Putin joins the First Lady in celebrating the Oleshky truce by slaughtering 14 unsuspecting civilians who were just waiting for their train in Dnipro today. rferl.org/a/oleshky-ukraine-…
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

A massacre in the Dnipro passenger railway station today. A guided Russian drone targeted a crowded platform, killing at least 13 people and injuring many others, as per city officials.
But diesel. But Russia wants peace. But don’t you dare hit their refineries.

Wow. I’m not sharing this because of Saez-Zucman, but for broader implications. We’re about to see a wave of AI scrutiny of published research. This period will be both hard and exciting. AI will lead us to reassess many existing works and change incentives for future research

Witkoff tried to convince Budanov of how rich he could be if he sold out his country by allowing Russian pipelines to again flow through Ukraine. Budanov ended the meeting.
Content of Tense Conversation Between Budanov and Trump's Team Revealed
Negotiations between the Ukrainian delegation and Donald Trump's special envoys in Miami, as reported by Le Monde, escalated into a conflict. According to the publication, during a three-hour meeting at the Shell Bay golf club, Steve Witkoff "with irritation" demanded that Kyrylo Budanov, head of Zelenskyy's office, cease strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Budanov, per Le Monde's information, "barely contained his anger" and felt that he was being "treated like a child, trying to teach him how to make money." The Americans presented an ambitious plan for postwar "regional prosperity," which envisioned resuming the transit of Russian oil and gas to Europe through Ukraine, with dividends paid to Kyiv.
Budanov was outraged that such a deal would tie Ukraine to Moscow, after which the negotiations broke off. When the meeting resumed, the Americans proposed accepting a deal for supplies of Russian diesel to the United States.
The publication's sources noted that they had never seen Ukrainians "so upset and alarmed." Zelenskyy's entourage described the situation as "hopeless," since Trump's envoys "think only about business."

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

The Russian propaganda operation begins, with American collusion
Exclusive Senior Adviser to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman claims Russian kids are being kidnapped too #BothSides
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A UN commission found Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity; ICC issued warrants for Putin over it. No evidence supports claims of Ukraine systematically kidnapping Russian children.

Grateful for the chance to talk with Reid Blackman about honesty. I've known Reid all the way back to the days when we both did analytic meta-ethics.
"While the conversation was about an alleged and plausible crisis, it turned out to be a very fun one."
