My name is Ian. I am a behavioral designer & former professor. Nice to meet you!
I'm red-blooded, ivory-tower-trained, and blue-collar raised:
I am an American man, the first in my family to go to college - and a phd program.
Dad was an HVAC tech, mom stayed at home.

Dear liberal friends (especially white women) :
I know that you’re conditioned to see black art and darken the boundary of struggle - to reflexively exclude yourself and others
Drop that for a beat. Consider:

What I hope you take from this is that you actually need to help people get to where you're at. That is work which *you* have to do. You cannot simply say "it's not my job to educate you"
I understand it's exhausting and many people truly should not have to take that on. But those who can should.

the manufacturing workers —largely U.S.-born white and Black men without any college education— didn’t participate in these recoveries.”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I’m not always a fan of AI, but
I’m definitely a fan of intellectual honesty and vulnerability wherever I see it
Those values are the best way to move action AND knowledge AND values forward!
@anthropic.com I’d definitely love to chat with your social psych staff.

The cardinal sin in academia is strength:
to embrace the diversity of truth
to accept and break limits
to speak up
to self-correct
This tacitly tells scientists truth is a function of how they speak,
rather than *what they do*
This error is fatal; it dishonors good work!

Has anyone started posting photos of people / family who have had their claims denied by insurance?
Especially looking for those who have suffered damage to their health or died because of the denied claim.
I’m looking for the human face of the death toll.
