Science can (and generally should) inform deeper questions of what we believe to be true or moral or wise. Nevertheless, it can never by itself answer those questions dispositively. 2/2

Acknowledging the limits of scientific knowledge is pro-science

refactoring even small software systems is enough to make one wary of people with ideas for structural reforms of society


I rarely post anything over here, but I can’t skip this moment to express how proud I am of my wife and life partner for matching at her #1 program. Let’s hope she won’t boss me around too badly when I go through my psychiatry rotation as a MS3! #Match2021

I am beyond thrilled to match @muscpsychgme! Can't wait to meet my fellow residents and start my journey in psychiatry! #MatchDay2021 #Match2021

Americans must (once again) discard the disastrous belief in top-down government central planning and one-size-fits-all policies. They produce nothing but suffering. We must rediscover the virtues of individual liberty and voluntary interactions with one another.

Racism is the use of the law of large numbers (and scaling) in the opposite direction, by attributing presumed population traits to single individuals.

One of the major reasons city states make more sense than "states" (as in the US) is because it is exceedingly rare that the same policies apply to the city and the country side

Thread: The Orientalizing of Moulana Rumi Many of you may be familiar with the 'Rumi quotes' that circulate the internet. What if I told you the vast majority of them are fake and they are part of a project to secularize Rumi? This isn't a whatsapp conspiracy.

They have no authority, cannot accomplish anything, and no one can find evidence to held them responsible during global health disasters. This is exactly why such costly top-down, bureaucratic organizations, like @WHO, are bound to fail. They have nothing to lose when they fail.

Scientists must realize the shortcomings and limitations of their own fields of expertise, in order to be able to identify the questions/problems that they are NOT best suited to answer. People appeal to scientists’ authority. It was better to say “I dont know” than “unlikely”.

It is common for people like Fauci to know their stuff, but to not understand risk of events. Same with epidemiologists as we saw. The carpenter fallacy: to get an ideas about probabilities of tail sequences at roulette, hire a probabilist not a carpenter. @yaneerbaryam

Government may be the only thing that can fail miserably and then get bigger as a result.


Excellent thread about the current evidence suggesting the use of Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin for treatment of #COVID19 patients. It is our job to critically appraise such results and explain to the public the limitations of these studies.

Guys. We need to talk about this Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin thing. It is out of hand. It all stems from this study that came out today. The study design: Comparative viral eradication on day 6 between HCQ, HCQ + Azithro, and control (not treated) COVID-19 patients.

I am starting to seriously consider if people believe they are anything but a list of bullet points on their CVs.

Read this before embarking on fiber photometry! Even if you want it to be, no recording technology is plug and play.

Analyzing movement artifacts as signals, not having a signal and not knowing, not appropriately timelocking behavioral events (computer drift is a huge issue), issues with z-scoring analysis. I think because it seems plug and play people just use it without thinking about it
