Hey Chamath, not sure if you saw this – it's a fascinating story about an internal NYT meeting discussing the paper's coverage of the U.S. Presidential Election. I expected to read that many journalists wanted the paper to return to a more objective stance, but it was the opposite: many in the newsroom felt the NYT was biased towards Republicans, 'anti-Democrat,' and too lenient on Trump. The newsroom leadership came across as level-headed, but it seems the takeaway was that the left’s agenda should be pushed even further. Wow.
The last bit on the evidence of memory in non brain cells gave me goosebumps coz guess where else did I hear this way before this experiment. Here: https://isha.sadhguru.org/en/wisdom/video/daily-wisdom-body-memory-mind
Wow. Interesting thanks for the share
