Fun With Information

Topics include information-processing in general, bioinformatics, critical thinking, “mining” useful information from “weird” sources (something I would like to do a whole episode on at some point since I didn’t even scratch the surface here of what I really mean by that), and other assorted bits of rambling. I also discuss the difference between empathy and reciprocity, something that the media tends to be very lax in distinguishing properly. This confusion between empathy and reciprocity often results in potentially dangerous misconceptions, such as people thinking that autism somehow has something to do with sociopathy (it doesn’t).
