Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Texas Rep. James Talarico is right—We must ban together to hold the 1% accountable.

Hey guys, here's a new episode about how there's no trade-off to saving lives in war-torn or impoverished countries.. it's all upside. #Poverty #SavingLives

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

Just learned of Frans de Waal's passing. 💛 His work inspired my fascination with the Ultimatum Game, and my 10+ years research in game theory (with agents, these days...). Enjoy this video, may it remind of our deep ties to other creatures on this planet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ7L...

This was a ton of fun to edit! Got to play through a fun new game I had never played before with the fiancé, learnt up on some stuff with the Hamtaro anime (all readily available on Internet Archive by the by!), was a fun and interesting edit! #philosophy #Hamtaro #videoessay #anime #GBA

Lucky for you I've coined yet another term... now before you get too excited, it is about meritocracy. The first simul-post on both the website: nonzerosum.games/effortocracy... and the podcast: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/n... Choose whichever is least painful. #Meritocracy #Society #Policy #DEI

I find the elevation of the term "equality of opportunity" over "equality of outcome" disingenuous. We can't have one without the other. There are preferences, but, in most cases, if we don't have equality of outcome, chances are we've missed something in the complex mix of opportunities #Thoughts

A couple of people mentioned that the 'Capitalism ~ a Zero-Sum Game?' episode was a bit dense and difficult to take in, so I've relaxed the edit a little and added some clarifications. #Capitalism #Mercantilism #Socialism #Economics #Economy #Society #WallStreet #ZeroSum #NonZeroSum

Does anyone feel like the new (the last month) ChatGPT voice has been ruined? My favourite voice 'Juniper' now says "um" and essentially sounds like she's not at all interested in my questions, both in tone and content... always wrapping up the conversation "so, yeah, essentially that's about it."

A follow up to 'The Tetris Effect'… now in your pocket. Tetrings is a 2D ring-based take on 3D Tetris and you can play it in your browser on mobile. It's tricky to start with but very addictive once you get the hang of it.

In home ec class at school our teacher had a rule that if you are cutting the finished cake/pizza your partner chooses a piece first. Later when I learned about Rawls' "Veil of Ignorance" I noted that my hom ec teacher's rule was an example of it. Just discovered Rawls used the exact same example.

A post with an actual game! Exploring the phenomenon of "The Tetris Effect" and showcasing a unique minimalist approach to what I've called "the obscuring problem" when trying to make a 3D version of Tetris... the solution: rings! #Tetris #3DTetris #Minimalist #UI #2D #3D #TetrisEffect

Well, that hit me like a tonne of bricks.

Goodhart's Law is one of those ideas, once you learn it, you find it everywhere. I rewrote this post in order to read it for the podcast (so it flowed more) and it turned out so much better that I've updated the post. #MentalModels #politics #philosophy #GameTheory #GreatIdeas #Goodhart #Economics

Is plastic recycling pointless? How can we incentivise better practices for industry? In episode 2 of our "8 Bottles" series we look at everything to do with plastic recycling and propose a solution. #Environment #Environmentalism #ClimateChange #Green #Waste #Health #Podcasts

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan. And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.
