I wonder if I am the only idiot who didn't know that if you buy glasses from @WarbyParker and they stop carrying the frame, they won't make new lenses for it if your prescription changes? You just have to throw them away. Buyer beware!

"Any institution that loses the trust of half of America has two choices – fade away into irrelevance or embrace being a truly ideological institution. I am not a fan of either of those options."
In January, Dr. Yoel Inbar (@yorl) interviewed for but did not receive a job offer from UCLA’s Psychology Department. This case was not handled properly. See my take in the attached blog. Please retweet (re-X?) if this concerns you. matthewlieberman.substack.co…

I loved Twitter. Now I don’t. So I’m trying Threads. So far, I’m not impressed. Lots of celebs posturing for fans, few thinkers sharing ideas. Hoping it will lose the “Insta vibe” and willing to give it some time. It would help if all of you were there.

My paper with @DanTGilbert is out today in Nature: people believe that people are less kind than they used to be, they're probably wrong about that, and we have an idea where this illusion comes from. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
