NEW: I recently joined my old friend from the tech industry, Dave Beckemeyer, on his podcast, "Outrage Overload" to talk about what Musk, Thiel, and Putin are aiming to do to the dollar — and to your savings. This episode cannot be more timely! outrageoverload.net/outrage-…

I was recently asked to give a quote for an article about Career Goal-Setting Tips. Basically all I got is, be adaptable, and be lucky -- and maybe some naive exuberance doesn't hurt.

Just had a great conversation on the Lean to the Left podcast! 🎙️ We dove into the impact of outrage in media and politics, exploring how both sides fuel toxic polarization. Check it out: leantotheleft.net/post/confr…

Hey @ChatterGuide I get this screen but the redeem button is inactive
Anybody using @ChatterGuide ? Is it worth it? Can you send an invite? I supposedly got one but the app seems to still not want to let me in (seems buggy)

Hey @MSNBC all the cheerleading. Feels painfully like 2016.

With all the talk of Project 2025, latest 'This Week in Outrage' a bit more serious than usual, where we spend a good amount of time talking about Agenda 47 starting around the 18 minute mark #agenda47 #project2025 open.substack.com/pub/outrag…

I hope you all enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed having the conversation.
📚 Ilana Redstone @irakresh, author of "The Certainty Trap," joins us to discuss the hidden pitfalls of certainty. She argues that when we treat our beliefs as inviolable, we close ourselves off to understanding others and hinder productive conversations. outrageoverload.net/outrage-…

Exploring 'enlightened disagreement' as an alternative to partisan deadlock. Authors, researchers, HMU
🎙️ Crafting a narrative ep on "knife's edge elections" focusing on swing states & voters' sway, exploring repercussions of partisan rigidity. Seeking dialogue on fostering "enlightened disagreement." Who is passionate & wants to talk to me? #EnlightenedDisagreement

Here I am with a whole show about outrage and lowering the temperature and finding myself quite outraged about the SC decision, not that he will be on the ballot but that Congress is who must enforce the law. They write laws and it’s already a law.

Anybody in my network have connections at Meetup to help a non-profit with some issues?

I've been mostly looking at social science research for @OutrageOverload. Who can point me to relevant and mostly nonpartisan econ papers that would be good for the show? What Google Scholar keywords can you suggest?

I'm looking to do a "science bites" episode on Critical Thinking, how it's Not natural, we had to invent it, and needs a checklist - for NaPodPoMo this month (November). Who would be the perfect guest? (who can do it this month!)

Had such a good time with the incomparable @davidmcraney
Latest episode available now, just in time for those Thanksgiving conversations. David McRaney "How Minds Change". outrageoverload.net/how-mind…

One thing about coming for an "outrage science bites" episode is your interview is sure to come out right away, before November 30. #NaPodPoMo
While I'm mostly doing short solo "bites" for the 30-day challenge, if anyone wants to come on for an episode to talk about some relevant science in 10 minutes or less, HMU. outrageoverload.substack.com… #NaPodPoMo
