Can recommend highly, particularly his books, "Confidence" and "How Insensitive." I read his column in the Globe for years.
When you compare what he writes to the content that gets pushed to us like in that Social Dilemma documentary in another thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24468533 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24468533), smart people are writing, they're just getting drowned out. Content algorithms are like rating food on how efficiently it can deliver sugar and caffeine with no other criteria for "good."
