@ColinTheMathmo Re: (in)numeracy and leaders:
Language Vs. Reality: Why Language Is Good for Lawyers and Bad for Scientists
N. J. Enfield, Mar 23, 2022, MIT PRESS 2022
Nick Enfield’s book, Language vs. Reality: Why Language is Good for Lawyers and Bad for Scientists (MIT Press, 2022), argues that language is primarily for social coordination, not precisely transferring thoughts from one person to another. Drawing on empirical research, Enfield shows that human lexicons the world over are far more coarse-grained than our perceptual faculties. Yet, at the same time, languages vary in the structure and sophistication of their representations. This means that, for instance, how different languages carve up the world influences not only how their speakers talk about the world, but also how they think about it. The book explores a range of linguistic phenomena, from lexical diversity to linguistic framing to the effects of narrative. As a result of understanding how language shapes our understanding of reality, Enfield argues that we can make more informed—and more ethical—decisions about our own language use, as individuals and communities.*
On the New Books Network: https://newbooksnetwork.com/language-vs-reality
Audio: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NBN2798566261.mp3 (MP3)
Enfield's key point is that language is useful for social coordination. Numbers ... for quantification.
Also: A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
(In numerous variations, more likely Beilby Porteus circa 1759 than Joseph Stalin. See: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/21/death-statistic/.)

Excellent overview of modern #Thai democracy (and it's enemies) with #SaowaneeAlexander from #UbonRatchathani University.

Woohoo it's #SocialistSaturday! Why not start your weekend with six hours of conversation (so far) covering 1800 pages (so far) of research about the emergence of #Trotskyism in the #USA? Tons of fun for committed revolutionaries everywhere! Except Stalinists. I mean, y'might wanna hide those icepicks, eh? ;-) #NewBooksNetwork #History #AmericanHistory #Histodon #Socialism #Communism #Politics #USPol

Crossing the Pod Streams is always entertaining.
This time I'm listening to #YanisVaroufakis heaping high prais on @pluralistic for his books, blogs, and podcasts, on the #NewBooksNetwork:

(Doctorow of course has been turning up all over the place as he book tours, as well as on his own #Craphound podcast, of which I too am a fan.)

Listening to @taylorlorenz interviewed about her new book Extremely Online by Michael Vann on the #newbooksnetwork
https://newbooksnetwork.com/extremely-online
The bits about how Vine's early pre-algorithmic days posed challenges with creators vs. network makes me wonder about possible similar dynamics on the #Fediverse.

thought: most of the books I've actually bought for myself the last three or four years (or dropped hints about to gift-buyers, and a couple I've bought as gifts) I learned of in author interviews on the New Books Network. That's the format that makes me think I want to spend time with this book and not just look stuff up. #NewBooksNetwork #Podcast
