A new book by Florida State University sociologist Corey Moss-Pech, Ph.D., says choosing a college major is more encouraging for liberal arts students than the headlines suggest.

I like that he’s messy.

The rule following perfect resume ladder climbing Harvard law grads are the actually lizard people creeps.

Future people will look back on current discussions about LLMs being conscious in the same way that we look back on Victorians discussing whether the telephone could be used to contact the spirit world.

That last point is key. To truly assess AI's output, you need to already be an expert, which defeats the purpose of why most people use AI.

The tradition of academia is to preserve knowledge for the benefit of civilization. AI boosters fundamentally hate civilization and should be removed from any decision making authority. https://t.co/GCqZscSlHv

I don’t know where this guy is from, but people who’ve only lived on the coasts can’t comprehend that large public universities and the college towns surrounding them are truly the best part of America. And yes, they contribute a TON to economic development too

[Pizza @number_pizza111]

@gasklord It is but I’m walking through MSU and it’s weird and awesome we’re able to put aside tens of billions of dollars for something like this rather than running everything through rational cost-benefit calculations

[Kevin Baum @kevinbaum013]

Here's your periodic reminder that the CUNY system has propelled almost six times as many low-income students into the middle class and beyond as all eight Ivy League campuses, plus Duke, M.I.T., Stanford and Chicago, combined.

Bowling is a great microcosm of how leisure in the US has changed over my lifetime. It used to be low-tech, relaxing, and inexpensive. Now it’s overstimulating, garish, and expensive.

[Douglas Farrar @DouglasLFarrar]

Private equity rolled up the bowling industry and turned what was functionally a family friendly community center into a shitty, expensive casino.

They weren't shy about it either. One of their executives said they wanted to raise the price of EVERYTHING.

[Corey Moss-Pech @CoreyPech]

This is truly wild

[a = all out against 🧊 @scott_a_ross]

Hate how much universities are being exploded from within and made even worse.

[The Modest Teacher @ModestTeacher]

You can teach nearly every high school subject effectively with a textbook and a chalkboard, and the only reason we don’t is because education companies figured out they could milk districts out of millions of dollars by convincing them otherwise.

Happening tomorrow! Register here: https://t.co/qWYMcrUFHZ or on the QR code on the flyer. It should be a great conversation and there will be plenty of time for Q & A!

The Masters is often described as a tradition unlike any other.

But taxing on the runway for 45 minutes at O’Hare on the way to your gate after landing early is the real tradition unlike any other.

[Marshall Steinbaum 🔥 @Econ_Marshall]

Maybe we shouldn’t have deprofessionalized K-12 teaching & shifted solely to test prep despite that being the elite bipartisan consensus for my entire life.

[Corey Moss-Pech @CoreyPech]

@MichaelRauh10 The paper is great and makes important empirical contributions! I’m just saying what the journalist says is a surprising new idea, that an ivy education pays off bc of peer socialization into the elite, is literally something I’ve taught in intro soc for over 10 years

[Corey Moss-Pech @CoreyPech]

Economist discovers secondary socialization and habitus, gets a write-up in The Atlantic

@ben_golub I cite economists in my work, as well as ed scholars, and anyone else who does relevant research. If you want to assemble huge datasets and test theories, that's great! Though I would suggest citing the originators of those theories when you do, even if they aren't economists

[Corey Moss-Pech @CoreyPech]

@ben_golub

[Corey Moss-Pech @CoreyPech]

@zyudhishthu Yes, but (a) sociologists do this, and (b) though comparing "waitlisted" students versus admitted students is a great research design, it doesn't actually account for the proposed mechanisms

[Corey Moss-Pech @CoreyPech]

It’s not hyperbole to say you might learn exactly what this article says is a novel contribution of an Ivy League economist in any Intro Soc class in the country

[Michael Koncewicz @MikeKoncewicz]

Cutter is one of many from Obama world who have signed up to work for companies who are responsible for this country’s decline. This trend is much more serious problem for the Democratic Party than anything Hasan Piker has said on Twitch.
