I regretfully agree with @RadioFreeTom analysis of @JDVance1 Like so many readers I was deeply moved by his Hillbilly Elegy. After seeing some of his recent appearances on conservative media I couldn't believe it was the same man. Course correction needed https://t.co/FaugxKAcAG

Lots of excellent comments on my thread on free will & determinism. @Robot_Sapolsky is a long-time friend & is coming on the show for his book Determined. I haven't read it yet (he just finished) but will. I strongly recommend @danieldennett Freedom Evolves—"degrees of freedom" https://t.co/iFPj3i73e0

book by @TwengeM @jean_twenge a must read to understand what has happened to society over the past half century. Astonishing differences across generations barely noticeable without massive datasets. Best of all she concludes that Baby Boomers are the best generation. Haha https://t.co/k6Cp4neVWi
