I’m still hoping to remain on Twitter, but we’ll see how things go. This was and should be an important outlet for scientists, although far more challenging in its new form. – at Houston, TX

When is Congress going to investigate this? Jared Kushner got a $2 billion deal from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund only six months after he left the White House and spearheaded a $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia. This sure looks like a payoff. nj.com/opinion/2023/06/three…

In the age of AI and neurotechnology, do we have a right to mental privacy? I recently discussed that question with @NitaFarahany, who has been at the forefront of thinking through how emerging technologies will impact our laws, politics, and culture. Listen: bit.ly/3okBqi1

Like most leaders of the eugenics movement, Comstock opposed abortion. What Kacsmaryk seems not to know is that like many of them, Comstock was a vocal supporter of “the bloody consequences of Social Darwinism” as Kacsmaryk says, that took the form of eugenic sterilization.

When he was asked in 1914 “Should criminals and defectives be sterilized?” he gave his full-throated endorsement, saying “by all means yes. I see no reason why the future generation should be cursed by the criminals of the present.”
