@julie_kelly2 If I were a judge I’d issue a nationwide injunction against nationwide injunctions and then let the logicians sort it out.

Apropos nothing, here are some charts and graphs showing mean GRE scores by major, by intended graduate major, and average standard deviations from the mean by major. 🧵

Dr. Daniel Bonevac’s course: Game Theory, is available now.

In this course, @DanielBonevac introduces the foundations and real-world applications of game theory, exploring strategic thinking, rational decision-making, and key game types including coordination, cooperation, competition, and sequential games. Through examples ranging from the prisoner's dilemma and rock-paper-scissors to political elections, we examine how individual incentives shape collective outcomes and how repeated interactions build trust and cooperation.

Along the way, we study Nash equilibria, mixed strategies, backward induction, and subgame perfect equilibria. The course concludes with social choice theory, revealing the fundamental limits of translating individual preferences into fair collective decisions.

@Handre 33, huh? I wonder if there’s any connection to the conditions leading to the crucifixion.

@QuintusCurtius I love the Aeneid. Aeneas, unlike Odysseus, repeatedly confronts moral conflicts. He’s a more complex figure. And the ending!

@TracesofTexas About few hundred yards from my daughter’s house are fields that alternate between corn and cotton—20 minutes from our house in Austin.

@dfkodsi Many faculty members—even at elite institutions—are not very intelligent. “Low-IQ individuals” can make it through processes that stress DEI factors over intellectual ability.

@AustinJustice I rode the bus to work consistently for 15 years. The express buses and the UT shuttle are still good. But many routes are now dice throws, and drivers can’t do much. They can call police, but by the time police arrive, the troublemaker has gotten off the bus.

@EllipticalMan @LuciaLobosvilla I read a high school American history textbook when I was seven, as well as lots of books on astronomy and baseball.

@anika_climate I feel like pasting this figure. IPCC 1990.

@japan_nobunaga My daughter, who lives in Pflugerville: “Pflugerville is 20 minutes from everywhere.” In the Austin metro area, that’s about right.

@kevinnbass How many were foreign students? They come in with different attitudes, and other students feel compelled to cheat to avoid being disadvantaged.

@FeserEdward Who are the “wise and impartial men”? People within the executive branch with access to classified intelligence information? Congress? Serious question—I don’t know how to apply that in a modern context.

This is totally on target: important for life as well as business.

Spectacular! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@BishopBarron Thank you. Totally on target.

@SkylarSkye3 That’s happened to me several times.
