@Chris_arnade Visit the pubs (e.g. Gillen club) with pokies (slots) in Alice. You ideally want to be there when a good number of cheques come through.

@Steve_Sailer John/Jan Morris is a good example; phenomenally charismatic, incredibly egotistic and a compulsive (and highly effective) BSer. Yet also a solitary eccentric with an evident 'autistic' streak.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

@Steve_Sailer Autism is a diagnosis applied to a pretty heterogeneous set of kids. Unusual people often had marked issues with social behaviours as children, but don't as adults. I would not be surprised if he received a DX due to strange asocial behaviour as a child.

@Chris_arnade There exists a kind of a outback Indigenous community aesthetic. You would not know it existed unless you visited such places or watched the TikToks, reels etc. they produce.

@SaladBarFan Solidarity from one two digit brutha to anotha✊🏿

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

It's very analogous to those stories about illiterate/innumerate college students, which many react to by claiming that these students are the real victims of unstandardized discrimatory (in their favour) & admissions systems.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

Arday was obviously not 'failed' by anyone. He was the big winner! Ironic, but the least plausible of his stories was becoming a Cambridge professor despite being relatively retarded. Miraculous against the odds stuff that he profited from immensely.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

I think the reaction shows that even after his fall, he was still in a better position than the counterfactual where he was never even admitted into a PhD program for want of brains.

@Empty_America @UnbeknownstDude The beginning of the start is c. 1830: roughly the point at which the community-wide crises of sub-subsistence begin to disappear in the north Atlantic world.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

"One quarter of humanity" (already down from a peak of c. 35%) will have become less than 15%. The not-to-be-taken-seriously UN pop projections have China falling to 6% of humanity by 2100.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

The percentage of humanity that is Chinese is probably the lowest that it has been in c. 1100 years. Give it another 15 years and the 'Chinese' fraction will be the lowest that it has been in over 2500 years (per our best estimates).

@leedsonandon @larrylemonmaths They can count and they can decode words. Comprehending multi-sentence texts and mathematics above reading a times tables chart are cognitive activities of sufficient complexity that humans display practically significant variation in their capacity to acquire useful fluency.

[Adam Wren @aswren]

I know there are people out there finding this scandal boring but just appreciate the art that this is for a moment

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

really interesting stuff from Cambridge University's youngest black professor in over 900 years.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

@JoshSmith1979T @realhansard No, the exceptions are just kids who are defiant when it comes to completing any work, which is never a reflection of their (many) teachers' ability to teach or 'inspire'.

[Tom O'Neil @thomasjameoneil]

There were 17 freestyle events at the Commonwealth Games this year (12 individual and 5 relays)

Australia won 17 gold.

@MarkDiStef It's good! Good even relative to what other junk philanthropy many other billionaires engage in.

[the world's best emoter @axaxaxasfml]

i am sorry aside from everything else it is crazy to me that jason arday's thesis has a random incorrect possessive apostrophe in the title, seemingly because the thesis he ripped off has a correct possessive apostrophe in the title. how the hell did he get away with this shit???

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

I would like to know how exactly Eva Claxton ended up involved in the writing of his book, because I can't help but think uncharitable thoughts here.

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

I think under normal circumstances it is rather surprising that a Cambridge professor would write his autobiography with a ghostwriter.

Typically not a demographic in need of the assistance.

[Kehinde Andrews @kehinde_andrews]

The smear campaign against Prof Jason Arday is as predictable as it is baseless. Ignore the haters and use it as publicity for the his wonderful autobiography that drops at the end of August. It's a truly a remarkable story, pre-order your copy now https://t.co/i0PjZJ4BE7

[Peter Brown @PeterBrownPhD]

I found a few other cases of Oxbridge professors whose autobiographical works involved professional ghostwriters, but there's generally some fairly reasonable explanation (i.e. publisher wanted something, author seemingly dgaf and wanted royalties).
