Later, there's @HadleyFreeman on antisemitism and @Mikepeeljourno on British denial about Britain. Also, @TomChivers will humour me (I hope) while I struggle with Bayes Theorum and I'll hear about the US desert town where mad conspiracists go to be left alone. Plus...
Probably a good idea to cancel that donation to Greenpeace.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I don't know why OP deleted it, but I think it needs to be preserved for posterity.
Disastrous news from the Philippines- the Court of Appeals has sided with Greenpeace and the antis in blocking vit-A enhanced Golden Rice, which is now in widespread cultivation in the country. All planting must now stop, harming the interests of millions. philrice.gov.ph/philrice-ackno…

Maternal deaths have halved in the last 35 years.
It's not the dog it's the owner.
St George's Day is a good day to remember that the massive rise in English identity, about which a thousand op-eds were written, turned out to have happened purely because the ONS moved it above 'British' in the list of answers.

In case you don't have time to read the whole 388 page Cass report, here's a good discussion of its contents by @StuartJRitchie and @TomChivers from "The Studies Show". (Paywall, but worth the pennies, if you are interested in science and numbers.) open.substack.com/pub/thestudies…

A most excellent new book from @TomChivers Out next week!
absolutely baffled that the New York Times says of Daniel Dennett that he "insisted … free will was a fantasy" nytimes.com/2024/04/19/boo… he wrote a whole book about how free will is compatible with a deterministic universe! It's literally CALLED "Freedom Evolves"!
Nice to have one of my old stories, from almost exactly ten years ago, do the rounds again (uncredited as usual but glad it still amuses)

Just in! ‘Everything Is Predictable’ by @TomChivers featuring a fistful of endorsements… including mine! Everything you ever wanted to know about Bayes’ Theorem but didn’t know you were supposed to ask. A very rich, rewarding read… weidenfeldandnicolson.co.uk/titles/tom-chi…
The Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi's story about eating honey in a Circassian village is the most insane thing you'll read today

@TomChivers @edwest Imagine you as a newspaper editor, barely a column would get off the ground!
The two best podcasts I've listened to on the Cass Review (both paywalled). @maiden_podcast and @StuartJRitchie /@TomChivers
@TomChivers @hugorifkind That is a Google meet link Tom?!
@TomChivers @niall_gooch Fabulous book. Devoured on a sun lounger in Provence last year and it was quite an experience
@TomChivers I hear that Yanks such as myself not only have to wait another month for the book (boo! 👎), but the cover will be different and not as pretty. I thought our nations had a special relationship!
I love the covers.
Arrived today! Can't wait to read @TomChivers new book!
@jamesrbuk It is because Bayes would say you should judge a book by its cover.
I don’t know what they’ve done to the cover of Tom’s book, but it’s *incredibly* tactile. It’s just amazing to touch. It’s next on my to-read list but I’m happy to recommend it just for this.
Publication day (in the UK)! Go! Buy! Look how pretty it is! Buy! You can't afford NOT to! It's so pretty! Also the content is good but IT'S SO PRETTY geni.us/EIPBook
@TomChivers @kncukier Prior to seeing this tweet, the probability that I would buy a book on Bayes' theorem was low. But now it's increased.
@TomChivers I'm waiting for the postman to deliver!
@TomChivers In there like swimwear. Can't wait to read!
Happy publication day to one of the best science writers (and also one of the best people), @TomChivers! Everything is Predictable is the definitive book on Bayes' Theorem, and everyone should read it. (Also that cover 😍) amazon.co.uk/Everything-Pre…
@TomChivers I like to refer to using frequentist statistics while writing papers but using Bayesian epistemology for everyday reasoning as “frequentist in the streets, Bayesian in the sheets”
@JamesSurowiecki @jessesingal For example, in the U.K. where I am from, there are *far* greater ties with India and Pakistan than there are with Israel or Palestine. We literally have millions of people who live here originally from those states. How much coverage does the Kashmir conflict get, does Modi get?
Blown away to hear from @TomChivers and @StuartJRitchie (discussing the Cass Report) that it's not remarkable for medical treatments to lack good evidence. A 2020 study found only 9.9% of treatments supported by ”high quality evidence". pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32890636/
