Our new PNAS paper, “Perception of Own Centrality in Social Networks,” (w. Kovarik, Ozaita @anxosanchez.bsky.social) is now showcased on Kudos. We show that people seriously misjudge their own popularity and centrality — and it matters. Check the summary here: 👉 link.growkudos.com/1expv3d3ta8

Muchos chistes con la economía, pero si la humanidad le hiciera caso, la cantidad de sufrimiento que se evitaría sería enorme.

This is what happens when you ask me to indulge your false equivalencies about the Trump tariffs.

I just read this from Michele Gelfand in @projectsyndicate.bsky.social about how Trump knows nothing about negotiating, and about how what he is doing can and will backfire. Very clearly told, must read www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/w...

Finally solved!
