I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.
Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.

Controlling parenting isn't good for kids. It puts their well-being at risk.
238 studies, 38 countries, 126k ppl: Kids with controlling parents have higher rates of depression and anxiety. Kids with autonomy-supportive parents are happier.
Freedom is a foundation of well-being.

Claiming the moral high ground is rarely a sign of virtue. It’s often a signal of narcissism.
People who consistently believe they hold superior principles have inflated opinions of their own judgment.
Being self-righteous is a barrier to respecting and learning from others.

Constantly claiming to be a victim is not a sign of virtue. It's a strategy for narcissists and psychopaths to get ahead.
Data: people who regularly signal victimhood are more willing to lie, cheat, and steal.
Beware those who air personal grievances like every day is Festivus.

Being drawn to conspiracy theories is more than a failure of critical thinking. It's a sign of feeling threatened and cynical.
170 studies, 150k+ people: the strongest correlates of conspiracy beliefs involve doubting others' intentions.
What looks like low IQ may be low trust.

Think you can catch a liar?
My recent article made the cover article for BBC @sciencefocus. It's about what 100 years of lie detection research has taught us.
I interviewed some of the world's biggest names in deception detection research. What they said surprised me 🧵

Svitlana and Kristina, 19 and 21 years old, singing in Zaporizhzia. One hour later, their lives were taken by a Russian missile.
Young lives, gifted young women, taken away in the blink of an eye by an imperalistic dictator.

Interessant kronikk av Kjell Inge Bjerga (FHS) og Michael Goodman (KCL) om behovet for å endre strukturen på de norske sikkerhets- og etterretningstjenestene, etter inspirasjon fra den britiske modellen. Som følger av evalueringen etter 25. juni terroren.

Her forklarer min leder ved Politihøgskolen hvorfor vi som forskere er uavhengige av politiet. Uavhengigheten er en forutsetning for jobben jeg gjør. Jeg vil det beste for politiet som samfunnsinstitusjon, og det gjør jeg ved å være uavhengig og kritisk. politiforum.no/kronikk/neida…

We shouldn't listen to people because we agree with what they think. We should listen when we're impressed by how they think.
Intellectual loyalty is defending strong convictions. Intellectual integrity is being convinced by strong arguments.
A key to growth is being willing to change our minds. @waitbutwhy waitbutwhy.com

Elon reportedly send this mail to Tesla employees:
1) Avoid large meetings
Large meetings waste valuable time & energy
- They discourage debate
- People are more guarded than open
- There’s not enough time for everyone to contribute
Don’t schedule large meetings unless ...

Instead of telling kids not to play video games, adults should play too.
Compared to kids who don’t play, those who play 3 hrs/day have better working memory & impulse control. Experiments show cognitive benefits for adults too.
Video games are a form of exercise for the brain.

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes.
You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion.
Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.
Thomas Kvalnes retweeted
Sacrificing health and family for work is not an expression of loyalty. It's a sign of poor priorities.
Dedication is not what you give up for your job. It's what you give to your job.
Commitment is reflected in the values people uphold and the contributions they make.
