@shlevy ... And ironically enough I think there are argumentative defences of that being good for truth seeking in the long run when considered collectively! See e.g. the linked paper. So I think you're not doing me fair to so characterise me. https://t.c

In case you are interested, here's the paper I'm referring to: https://t.co/72SSGziVCC There are lots of other approaches that show similar results, and if you are interested I'm happy to point you to them. (Also keep an eye out for my book.)

@LabFairfax @deeptabhattacha Serendipity over there can happen every time someone you follow boosts someone you don't, and every time you do a hashtag search. The design feature is not walled echo chambers but a weaker Matthew effect, which is a good thing

Reducing connection between scientific groups can increase creative outcomes through diversity of practice. A fascinating idea to explore outside of science as well.

In microbial ecology, spatial structure limits connectivity, thereby allowing the evolution of adaptations that take longer to evolve and that would otherwise have been out-competed. There are analogues of this in economics, but also in the transmission of
