I'm looking for a post from last night, referencing a New Yorker article

It was about how reasoning evolved, how powerful confirmation bias is, etc. IIRC, the original article was from 2016, and had some updates since. I'd appreciate the link, if nothing else. I've scrolled through 5 pages or so of "General Discussion", and "editorials" - might it have been moved to a more specific forum?
