@ReliableAB That’s the least I’ve ever seen

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

The Crisis in the Humanities Is Not About Money: "Critical theory did not merely politicize scholarship. It made scholarship easier to produce" (anyone could get a dissertation out of showing that some work was really an instrument of oppression). Abraham Wyner cites a phenomenon I've long noticed: for an academic movement to get traction, it has to give grad students & junior scholars something to do. Chomsky dominated linguistics in part because he revised his theory every decade or so, sending linguists scrambling to reanalyze every construction in the new theory's terms. In the 80s and 90s neural networks spawned hundreds of papers called "A Connectionist Model of X," followed by the cognitive neuroscience revolution in which anyone could get a thesis out of sticking people in a magnet while they did some familiar experimental task. https://t.co/gguNcI0DFm
