@david_perell The book "The Hypomanic Edge" offers a set of case studies of people who benefitted from a mild case of mania -- and it agrees with your thesis here.

@JaminSpeer I didn't know PhD programs were funded until I was admitted into one. Perhaps we need to have a career day.

@heezo Sure, the monkey's blindfolded, not gagged. Some have suggested we reverse that, but the monkey also doesn't listen.

@Amariarv I'd go even further: defaulting to having researchers teach is bad for both research and pedagogy. Researchers are all mired in the same theories, distracted by teaching, and students learn to assume they're unavailable.

@StockPrinter @patrick_oshag If there's never a 10/10, then nothing can be better than a 9/10: only equal or worse. Likewise, all the way down to (and then through) 1/10. Just use the scale, friend.

@heezo That's handy. I'm a full-stack TCP/IP engineer!

@davidhagmann The true Schelling point, chronologically speaking, is Noon. Everything else requires more effort.

@gregates I love that the name "empiric" came to mean a quack doctor. Maybe the gulf between understanding statistics and employing them is so broad that lay populations will always learn to mistrust aggregated evidence altogether.

@Hoffm @JoeBlubaugh We're just one sale away, sale away, sale away.

@heezo I've changed from writing code to vaguely directing the interpreter to tell me what error message Stack Overflow associates with the code I would have written. Your way sounds better.

@jmb112485 But please don't forget this feeling; it's very strange to have highly trained researchers multi-tasking as scarcely trained educators.

Is very strange. I've been in the existential dread business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.

@Hoffm Not definitively debunked, but there was no evidence:

@Hoffm Except they actually didn't. But yeah, they might, like, minimize a pandemic, separate kids from parents and lose them, allow the hunting of US soldiers for cash...

@realDonaldTrump You were literally impeached for trying to corruptly generate support for this lie but it's still what you're going with?

@WhiteHouse I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

@WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

@WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

@realDonaldTrump @NBCNews I can't tell if this is sarcasm.
