We all want to make a difference, to leave the world a better place than we found it. One foundational way to do this is by improving how we engage with others. But doing so in a consistent and competent way requires more than just good intentions. youtube.com/watch?v=RY27G3mQ…

Thanks to Ted Neitzke IV for another invitation to join him on the Smart Thinking Podcast. He's a great host and I enjoyed our conversation – again! I love how the topic of "leaning into difference" kept popping up! podbean.com/media/share/pb-d…

Dear readers, sources, leaders and friends who have reached out in droves today asking me to quit the @washingtonpost :
1/ I too worry about the timing and odd explanation for The Post's change in endorsement policy.
2/ My fear is that this signals a tip-toeing deference to a candidate. And that spells trouble what I care deeply about: revelatory reporting without fear or favor, no matter who is upset by the truth we reveal.

If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, we'll give them more opportunities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality. #AssumeThatICan #WDSD24 #WorldDownSyndromeDay #EndTheStereotypes

A study that matches experience on this site: The people who think they are best at detecting bullshit (the term for information designed to convince without regard to truth or accuracy) are actually worst at it, and are most susceptible to misinformation! osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/kb…

People who fall for false information tend to be overconfident in how they think—not just what they think.
Data: those who overestimate their math & reasoning skills are more susceptible to conspiracy theories.
Critical thinking requires a healthy diet of intellectual humility.

A key to regulating emotions is to treat them like visitors in your home.
"I'm angry" lets a feeling take permanent residence. "I'm hosting some anger today" is a reminder that not all guests are welcome.
Emotions may drop in unannounced, but we decide which ones get to stay.

We can play a far more constructive role at work by improving how we engage with others. But it’s harder than it sounds. It takes more than just good intentions – it takes discipline. linkedin.com/pulse/construct…

A bad thing about the algorithmic Twitter feed is that it makes us particularly susceptible to the Illusory Truth Effect👇
You can go from a completely normal set of beliefs to starting to see something crazy as plausible, just because you keep seeing the crazy thing repeated.

Relatedly, this meta-analysis shows "People quit bosses, not jobs." Toxic supervisors & a bad work climate have a large impact on turnover. (Salary only had a small-to-moderate effect, with non-monetary compensation, like training, having a bigger role for retaining talent)

Useful summary of research showing how toxic leaders spread problems through entire organizations, both because their abusive standards get copied, but also because they influence the environment to increase toxicity, with giant negative costs for all. scienceforwork.com/blog/bad-…
