How can Elon Musk be so brilliant in some ways and so lacking in others?

Well, this is more common than you might think. Let’s talk about spiky intelligence, selection effects, and Berkson’s paradox.

Elon Musk and spiky intelligence

I keep getting this question: What can I do? I had some thoughts last night in my conversation with Steve Schmidt.

Hello, I’m Donald Paul. I am husband, father, and former-seminarian who is obsessed with Catholic theology. On my substack In Defense of Theology you will find:

  • Faithful discussions on Catholic theology

  • Reflections to become a smarter Catholic

  • Really cool Catholic books you need to read

If you love Catholic theology and want to learn together, I’d love to connect!

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

Contrary to what some in the far-right echo chamber have been saying this week, I have not been silenced. I’m right here folks. And I am ready to get started!
