But it’s even worse than that! Because even that 4% that is plausibly causal isn’t gone to be stable across environmental changes (see the work in pgs for EA in the past not working for women etc). 2/

The basic point- that much of what determines our success or failure in life is out of our direct control- is no doubt true. But you don’t need incredibly weak pgs data to get you there! 3/3

You know, every once in a while I manage to forget just how awful philosophers can be, and then something like this (dailynous.com/2024/05/30/phi…) happens. "What an asshole" doesn't begin to do it justice.

The fact that it's so easy to confuse etymology and entomology is just one of those linguistic bugs

For all the people who think that Haidt wasn't thinking about "race" in his list of "left denialism," it is clear from the replies Murray gathers here at least that the scientific racists think that's what he was thinking!

Now attach estimated percentages of the cultural elite (operationalized as journalists/commentators in the MSM, writers, entertainers, and university faculty members) that fall into each of these categories. "Fair share" is not quite the right way to characterize the relative cultural importance of left and right deniers.

This is just amazing. Bronski & Emil took survey “data” that was adequate for perhaps some cute anecdotes about fields’ perceptions of themselves, & managed to turn it into just pure racist & sexist crap. It’s startling - it *almost* takes talent to twist the world that badly!

By “pile-on” Nathan seems to mean “accurately reporting what I in fact wrote.” This performative upset at news outlets boosting his blog post & reporting his stated views is just beyond lazy.

Apparently, accurately quoting someone's weird racist blog post makes it a "hit piece." I don't know how one is supposed to soft-peddle claims like this so that quoting it isn't an attack, but apparently, the student newspaper didn't try hard enough...

the recent race science discourse on twitter reminds me of the time a Race Science guy on a menswear forum went on for years about how non-white people have lower IQs, and then it was revealed that he was wearing size 10 shoes when he had size 7 feet

Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

"If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there, and no one can follow you."
My first thought: Cool, that sounds like great advice!

Good work by everybody who made it through today without misplacing a small leopard. To those who DID misplace a small leopard, good work not misplacing a larger leopard

Murray pretends to mistake a change in survey design for a change in self-identity, & then pretends that right-wing outrage about eg CRT reflects reality, & claims that the latter non-existent phenomena explains the former. Playing to the gallery or just intellectual dishonesty?

1/3 For many years until 2020, Latino Americans' racial self-identification was consistent, with 65-67% identifying as "white," 26-29% identifying as "other race, not otherwise classified," which usually means Mestizo, and 4% saying they were "two major races." Then came 2020.
