@GadSaad @megynkelly Top marginal rate here in the US in the 1950s was 91%.

@FunLovingIan And we’re employing him right back it seems.

@BrandonWarmke “definitely just interested in these topics” …

Are you really going to “both sides” slavery, the Holocaust, sexual violence, etc? Some topics are inescapably “political” in that they require us to take a clear side and moral stand. Or would you take a value-free approach?

@EconChrisClarke @tonyannett @VincentGeloso “Honest but rude and lacking in diplomacy.” And he wonders why he can’t get a job in academia.

@GadSaad If you think Hitler proposed equality, you need to go back to middle school history class.

@K_Niemietz Proving that you don’t understand Piketty or what a Democratic socialism looks like.

@vasalex93 @BurnieSendersX There’s no equality of opportunity without a rough equality of condition. It’s fine to prefer inequality of condition (and social stratification), but let’s not pretend that’s compatible with meritocracy.

@BrandonWarmke I agree that universities should not actively “promote” scholar activism. But academic freedom *requires* that universities be a space that tolerates a range of viewpoints, including the activist/engaged model of inquiry. It’s not my cup of tea, but it’s wrong to try to ban it.

@GadSaad @BernieSanders Because we all know that wealth = virtue, right? 🙄

@angela_zimm @cremieuxrecueil With all due respect, this is an ignorant comment.

[Good Faith Interlocutor @GoodFaithInt]

@cremieuxrecueil Still intelligent, nonetheless. 1422 SAT is nothing to sneeze at.

@mickey_d682 @BrandonWarmke @timgill924 No. If r = 0.09, then r² = 0.0081.

The proportion of variance explained is r², not r itself.

So:

r^2=(0.09)^2=0.0081

This means the variable explains about 0.81% of the variance, not 9%.

Thanks for playing the sociology home game though!

@BrandonWarmke @timgill924 The best gauge of the main currents in the field today is what is being published in the ASR and AJS. But, you won’t find any fodder for your argument there.

[Good Faith Interlocutor @GoodFaithInt]

@BrandonWarmke There are activists in every field. That doesn’t make the field itself activist. Take a look at the last 50 years of the American Sociological Review (flagship journal) and the American Journal of Sociology (other truly top tier journal) and find me “activist” scholarship.

@Sophiologist_ Yeah, SOOOO many rich professors running around out there! 🤣

@GadSaad Actually, didn’t everything start to unravel under his watch?

@eaglewardamn21 @MikeLaCava_ @T_Mulherin $$$ = club teams, private training, private schools. It’s not a level playing field. Hope Cambridge or Leominster takes home the title!
