Hell yeah!

Syrian doctor faces deportation from Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz has ignited a debate by declaring that 80% of Syrians would be repatriated. Does this mean that Germany also intends to deport those who are integrated and whom the country needs?

The government needs to stop such hostile approach. p.dw.com/p/5BzYN

My reviewing style has changed over time. Rather than litigate every little thing, and pushing my own ideas, I focus only on 2 things:
(1) Are the claims interesting/important?
(2) Does the evidence support the claims?

Most of my reviews these days are short and focused.

It'll be handed to the new Bundestag/Parliament tomorrow

A reminder for these times.

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.

A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.

A historic disgrace.

🚀 New paper out in Psychological Review!

How does learning change across the lifespan? We propose that resource rationality—adapting belief updating to cognitive limitations—can explain age-related differences in learning.

👇 A short thread:

The German election result is somewhat expected. But I'm still devastated seeing AfD getting 20% seat in the Bundestag. And why the hell do people still vote for the CDU. This damn party ruled for 16 years and left the country at its current state! The future is looking bleak 😢

#teap2025 coming up soon in Frankfurt! Don't miss the super interesting conference program.
