Yes. I highly recommend In the Know: Debunking 35 Myths about Human Intelligence (Cambridge University Press, 2020) by @Russwarne to anyone interested in the subject of intelligence. It's well-written, informative, and up-to-date on the latest research. https://t.co/W9mC8rojCG

The Byrds: 1964-1967

Roger McGuinn
i/oi/o

Just heard of David Crosby's death. A complicated man with lots of flaws, but a truly wonderful songwriter who introduced me to the beauty of alternate guitar tunings. This little-known gem of his from his stint with The Byrds is my favorite of his songs.https://t.co/HjueOcxYa9

Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm

Robin Diangelo
i/oi/o

Excerpt from Robin DiAngelo's book Nice Racism. According to Pew Research, white liberals report having fewer close black friends than white moderates and conservatives. Is this because libs are more likely to treat blacks as representatives of a race rather than as individuals? https://t.co/ZxM4HGQS8y
