@zager1025 Yep. Given how central reward circuitry is to addictive behaviors, it’s difficult to mitigate addiction when punishment is taken off the table

Post pictures while you’re in line. Share how long you’ve waited. Treat that scoop of ice cream or sip of tea like it’s the best you’ll ever have. It’s a great strategy to let the rest of NYC enjoy our hidden gems without lines. Thank you for your service.

I don’t really have many VC horror stories. The worst ones are just meetings where there isn’t much interest. Everyone is still polite, but you can feel it’s not going anywhere. With my first company, I pitched a lot of VCs and got a lot of polite rejections. With Linear, I

This is one of the big questions! There are compelling theories for interventions, especially from those who study misinformation and cult deprogramming. For example, there are successful methods for 'prebunking' to inoculate people from believing fake news (see amazon.com/Foolproof-Misi… for a great read). Another promising direction of research focuses on targeting beliefs that are related to, but less central than, the most pernicious ones. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of many of these methods at scale is weaker than we'd hope, if they've even had the chance to be tested.

Providing evidence contrary to deeply held beliefs doesn’t always work. When beliefs are entrenched in one’s sense of self, logical claims can backfire. This can lead to a communication breakdown, especially when the logic runs counter to identity-oriented language, since we’re primed to react to perceived threats to our social groups [1]. 1/6

@JTLonsdale Joe my friend you need to have better information hygiene about things like this. A minute of research could have cleared this up for you. chatgpt.com/share/6a22e0e7…

@zager1025 And even outside of the political realm, the same dynamics come into play when groups are involved

Whenever our social identities are threatened, our natural adaptation is to strengthen ties to the groups we align with and polarize those that oppose them; much of this has nothing to do with the evidence in question. As this process continues and we interact more, we sort those people and the things they talk about into positive and negative buckets relative to ourselves. The more this happens, the more amplified the polarization becomes [4]. 5/6

@ashebytes Think there’s an important middle step in there. Those who suffer need to heal themselves first (often with the help of others!) before they’re ready to pay it forward

Cut the crap. Literally, cut the unnecessary distractions out of your life—delete apps, unfriend and unfollow toxic people, stop committing to activities you don't care about. Life is too short.
