• Emotional != Irrational

  
  Cubik's Rube — Authority: 125
  So I’m in the middle of reading Bruce Hood’s Supersense , and so far it’s looking like a really worthwhile read.

  Cubik's Rube — Authority: 125
  I’m pretty confident that I won’t be praying before I die. Never mind all that “no atheists in foxholes” bollocks. I’m confident in my non-belief. I’m not just petulantly refusing to believe in a god I secretly know is really there, and I’m not going to run crying back to him when I’m scared and ...

  EconLog — Authority: 697
  Im a firm believer that (a) all publicity is good publicity, (b) the more attention my memes get, the better - even if if I get no credit.  And in the past, The New Yorker has done me nothing but good; its review of The Myth of the Rational Voter was more than fair.  Yet despite my lackadaisical standards and ...

• Tyler Without Tyler, by Arnold Kling

  
  EconLog — Authority: 697
  Edge devotes its latest symposium to how humans will process information in the current era. Tyler Cowens latest book speaks to that issue, but he is nowhere to be found on the symposium.
