Necessary research. Ive been watching this phenomenon happen since around 2015 (?) and it has been wild seeing papers that read like longish posts on Der Sturmer (especially shit on race and IQ and race and violence, etc) seek and acquire a simulacrum of legitimacy this way.

Though AI helps, does it dull us over time? A study from MIT found that regular ChatGPT use weakens memory, focus, and brain activity. 83% couldn't quote their own text. Essays became repetitive. Researchers call it "cognitive debt"—a slow erosion of independent thinking. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

My new Substack is about part-time work for parents. In the Netherlands, 65-75% of mothers work part-time and about 30% of fathers do. Part-time work is supported and even encouraged by the government. Why can’t we pull that off here in the U.S.? open.substack.com/pub/darbysax...

Why don't more U.S. parents work part-time?

Paid work vs. stay-at-home parenting is not a binary choice - many parents want something in the middle. Other countries have figured out how to make it work.
