Knowing Stuff Is Hard

 

In "The Next Decade Could Be Even Worse" by Graeme Wood (The Atlantic, Dec 2020), two memorable quotes:

  • "One way you know I am Russian is that I cannot think sitting down. I have to go for a walk." – Peter Turchin
  • "Knowing stuff is hard; we need to use every available tool." – Steven Pinker
