Why I've lost faith in p values. So much “science” is crap because most “scientists” use simple, brainless tests to provide specious authority to their results, rather than thinking critically and debating the issues. This article explains why one of the tricks they try to impress people with – saying they are 95% confident they’re right – is mathematically wrong.
I’ve been reading a good book: Developer Hegemony. It talks about the workplace and explains dynamics about middle managers, morale, promotions and more. Most of the ideas – e.g. about idealists, opportunists and pragmatists – apply to any larger company. This book has important red pill insights, especially if you have a career as an employee (or plan to).
I liked reading some articles from TheZvi criticizing education:
I also found Guessing the Teacher's Password linked from TheZvi. Unfortunately, TheZvi is apparently not interested in discussion – despite having a low number of responses on his blog, he didn’t respond when I replied to two of his articles.

Netanyahu – 100,000 Secret Files Prove Iran ‘Lied Big Time’ About Nukes. Obama knew or should have known that Iran was lying to him and went ahead anyway. So Obama was either thoroughly incompetent or a traitor (themes that have independently come up on other issues). Trump is now pulling out of the deal which gave Iran (the largest state sponsor of terrorism) billions of dollars, but lots of the harm cannot be undone.
People keep attributing terrorism to “mental illness”. They should stop. This article briefly goes through a bunch of cases.
