Gurwinder Bhogal is a programmer and a writer. Gurwinder is one of my favourite Twitter follows. He’s written another monstrous thread exploring human nature, cognitive biases, mental models, status games, crowd behaviour and social media. It's one of the best things I've read this year, so I just had to bring him on. Expect to learn why stupidity is more dangerous than evil, why most content has to appeal to midwits, why political debates are essentially mass-scaled ventriloquizism, how lower stakes lead to more vicious arguments, why the word retard is a strange choice as an unspeakable slur, why being a mess is more likeable than being perfect and much more… Sponsors: Join the Modern Wisdom Community to connect with me & other listeners - <a href= "https://modernwisdom.locals.com/">https://modernwisdom.locals.com/</a> Get 2 weeks Free Access to the State App at <a href= "https://bit.ly/statewisdom">https://bit.ly/statewisdom</a> (discount automatically applied) Get 2 weeks free access to Wondrium by going to <a href= "https://www.wondrium.com/modernwisdom">https://www.wondrium.com/modernwisdom</a> (discount automatically applied) Get 5 Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D and Free Shipping from Athletic Greens at <a href= "https://athleticgreens.com/modernwisdom">https://athleticgreens.com/modernwisdom</a> (discount automatically applied) Extra Stuff: Follow Gurwinder on Twitter - <a href= "https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal">https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal</a> Gurwinder's MegaThread: <a href= "https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/1527720869191114756">https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/1527720869191114756</a>  Subscribe to Gurwinder’s Substack: <a href= "https://gurwinder.substack.com/">https://gurwinder.substack.com/</a>  <a href="https://chriswillx.com/books/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Get my free Reading List of 100 books to read before you die → https://chriswillx.com/books/</a> To support me on Patreon (thank you): <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/modernwisdom">https://www.patreon.com/modernwisdom</a> - Get in touch.
