really looking forward to reading Rob Percival's new book The Meat Paradox. there's often a lot of heat between vegetarians and ethical omnivores, but we should focus on how much we agree on - namely that meat-eating needs to be drastically reduced! https://t.co/VTLwdWBWki https://t.co/REKpUxZ87W

"Privacy is now a zombie category. None of us have privacy, even as we thought about it in the year 2000.” - my interview with Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, who is not overly relieved by the stumbles of Big Tech https://t.co/3fbsg4LTGo

highly recommend David Robson’s The Expectation Effect. I had no idea how far our brains can shape our physical experience of the world, from drugs (the placebo effect etc) to food, sleep and ageing https://t.co/B0wN18JZXG
