“Anyone can say, ‘You’re a pseudoscientist.’ The label alone doesn’t settle anything. You have to say what, specifically, is wrong with each claim.”

@conceptualkitty @PsychRabble I will directly answer your question: Yes, I have read the article.

Now, will you directly answer mine?

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@conceptualkitty @PsychRabble With all due respect, you did not answer my question, which is, Do you have a specific example (as opposed to vague generalities) of a specific claim they made, with a quote that refers to their results, in which the evidence does not support the claim?

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@conceptualkitty @PsychRabble That's too vague. hat particular evidence does not match what particular claim? Please quote the paper that makes a claim based on the data, then quote the reported result&identify how the claim does not match the data. Just once.

@conceptualkitty @PsychRabble What "basic scholarly error," in your opinion, do they make?

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@conceptualkitty @PsychRabble Your contentless dismissals are living validation of this paper.

@ValidScience @eric_knowles Just read Montez. Duarte's critique checks out. Montez compared NY to Mississippi, that's it. So the van Bavel et al claim, shown below, is not and cannot be justified by Montez. Left, vB quote. Right, Montez table. How is this not totally cherrypicked?

@isaiahleslie @cremieuxrecueil @BasedPsych I'll bet any amount with anyone that the U.S. does not have a civil war anytime in the next ten years.

@SKmacro @phl43 @SOITranslated My last entry today. As in 2006, when Hamas undermined the potential for peace w/Israel after the Palestinian Unity agreement (the one I supposedly DK about) by kidnapping an IDF, the 10/7 attack came right on the heals of this:

Hamas wants conflict.

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@SKmacro @phl43 @SOITranslated P.S. your presumption about what I do/do not know is gratuitous mindreading and unnecessary. Hamas signed on to that, and, immediately after, kidnapped an Israeli soldier. There is abundant evidence that they want conflict and none that they want peace.

@SKmacro @phl43 @SOITranslated hehehe. I got that; just keeping the tweets linear; if they start branching, convo becomes impossible to follow...😀

Sec Blinken is building regional support for a two-state solution for the day after the war in Gaza. I told @i24NEWS_EN that the two-state plan will fail because it is missing two main ingredients:
1- There is no reliable Palestinian partner that can promise on behalf of all Palestinians and deliver.
2- There is no reliable Palestinian partner that is willing to recognize the Jewishness of Israel (i.e. Zionism, Jewish nationhood/sovereignty).

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@phl43 @SKmacro @SOITranslated Well of course certainty is unachievable. Politics is, as they say, the art of the doable. We agree Hamas has never participated in bona fide negotiations. It agreed to Palestinian unity w/o recognizing Israel or renouncing violence & has rejected every peace initiative.
1/2

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@phl43 @SKmacro @SOITranslated When has, in the past, Hamas ever participated in negotations for a two state solution?

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@phl43 @SKmacro @SOITranslated With whom would they negotiate a two state solution? Put differently, who, in Hamas, would be willing to negotiate a two state solution with Israel?

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@phl43 Spoken like someone from the safety a country independent for 1500 yearsish, of ~70m people, one that is a member of the world's most powerful international defensive pact. No, Hamas, by itself, cannot destroy Israel; that much is true.

[Dissident w/a PhD @PhdDissident]

@phl43 You're just getting emotional. You can disagree w/Spencer's conclusion, but the essay is a far more rational analysis of casualties in this war than most of what is out there. Its definitely rational to avoid extinction by destroying those who are trying to destroy you.
