Can I just confess how addicted I am to the amazing music videos on FB that are coming out of quarantine. @YoYo_Ma, the @JuilliardSchool. @barenakedladies + @MichaelBuble, @ShekuKM & his FAMILY orchestra (!), tiny small children playing insane Bach ... I can't stop watching! You?
oh and I didn't even mention @AndreaBocelli ... and his daughter (I figure everyone has seen those?) and my old friends from university who majored in music who are playing every day and the heartrending duet @NatMacMaster recorded with #NovaScotiaShootings victim Emily Tuck ...
There are so many bad things happening to good people in the world today, but the lights who are the good are shining so brightly, you can't miss them if you just open your eyes 💕

Welcome to our world. It's called cherry-picking and it turns out that the smarter we are, the better we are at finding the one piece of evidence that supports our preexisting believe in the face of all the evidence that disproves it. See tweet that follows for Exhibit A.
Exhibit A - an analysis by Dan Kahan showing that the better we are at understanding data + quantitative reasoning, the better we are at cherry-picking the info we need to justify our preexisting opinions on an issue that directly threatens or challenges our identity or ideology.
(and yes I know there's a typo in the first tweet ... sadly twitter doesn't offer the option to retroactively edit. Oh well!)
