Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

The Trump administration’s desire to get more migrants into the El Salvador gulag is fanatical. The border’s closed, the men are detained—but they desperately keep trying to deport them. Maybe it’s all meant to accelerate self-deportation? But it feels more like “cleanse the nation of impure blood.”

One thing Trump does understand —by the many things— is that these manufacture jobs he wants back to the US have been eliminated not because the factories were moved elsewhere but because many were replaced by robots. The next steps will be Artificial Intelligence which will be even more

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
