My Q for the "European anti-establishment revolt" #BattleOfIdeas panel - would those panellists who applaud the new populist parties be happy if these parties go on to adopt more of the Trump "The President can do no wrong" playbook, attacking independent press & judiciary etc? Image
This #BattleOfIdeas panel was disappointing in that some panellists made highly contentious statements, but no other panellists challenged them. E.g John King twice repeated the old canard that Ted Heath deceived the 1975 voters by hiding the political implications of joining EEC
Solid evidence against this claim of deception is easy to find online. See e.g. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/0… or infacts.org/mythbusts/vote…
And Ruth Dudley Edwards said she would not join a club that she was not allowed to leave, as if that was decisive. Ruth, the UK is definitely allowed to leave. But not keep all the benefits of membership after leaving! #BattleOfIdeas

"Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19" by Alina Chan and Matt Ridley was a book that changed my mind. It marshals lots of evidence that significantly raises the probability that the global pandemic resulted from a laboratory incident (1/6) goodreads.com/book/show/5864…
The book highlights many heroic, admirable actions, of Internet sleuths and self-taught researchers around the world, who uncovered evidence which cast new light on the background to the outbreak of the pandemic (2/6)
But it also highlights many examples of actions that were much less admirable: people in both media and academia, as well as in the medical establishment, who sought to turn attention away from facts that were uncomfortable or inconvenient (3/6)

Whilst waiting for the #CogX2021 sessions to start streaming, why not quickly check out the open preview of my forthcoming new book, which places the future of AI as central to the future of humanity. "Vital Foresight" dw2blog.com/2021/05/26/a-p…
CEO of @RollsRoyce, Warren East, looks forward to the company "smashing" the air speed record for an electrically powered craft. As part of exploring possibilities for greener air travel #CogX2021
... though it looks like this record-breaking @RollsRoyce effort has been delayed from the schedule originally announced (back in December 2019). Given the uncertainties involved in such innovative engineering, that's not too unexpected #CogX2021 rolls-royce.com/media/press-re…

Live now: "AI, Data & Ethics with Prof. Joanna Bryson" @j2bryson "Joanna will join us at this edition of the London Ethics Meetup to share her insights on AI, Data & Ethics in 2020" meetup.com/Tech-Ethics-Lo…
Good definitions from @j2bryson at the start of her talk on "AI, Data & Ethics" Image
People who say they are "against regulation" benefit from huge amounts of regulation inside their own bodies, that is biological regulation, points out @j2bryson Image

The #CogXtra panel "What's Needed Now" has just started streaming: "In considering how we rebuild, ideas once-considered radical have been up for discussion. But how radical do we need to go? Can we rebuild along the same lines as before?" cogx.co/event/what-is-… Image
"As the storms of the global pandemic continue to buffet businesses and individuals, we are all in need of a double dose of resilience. If only there were a precise recipe for it, we would all be racing towards a brighter future." This can be viewed on
The pandemic has exposed the extent of the digital divide. The number one infrastructure priority for the country is to fix this divide - former UK Chancellor George Osborne at #CogXtra Image
