🤔Wait... What happened to that US Research funding line? Seemed like it was almost parallel to China, and then something weird happened recently? What happened recently? You can't do science if you fire the scientist, cut their funding, put anti-scientists in charge, and put your energy into hate.

Karl Weick (organizational psychologist, foundational work on sensemaking) had a great refrain: “How can I know what I think until I see what I say?” I often think about this in relation to how AI can interfere w/ thinking by substituting its words for ours.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...
