What's the best way to find out what people want? To ask them about their preferences? No: to ask them about the preferences of people in their social circles. To learn why, check out my paper in @ElectoralStdies on the robustness of social-circle surveys: https://t.co/fryKqwSybJ

@williamlallen @MigrationJrnl Congrats Will! 🙌

UPDATE: Months later a copy of the book arrived and I read it. This morning my 2yo daughter found it in my bookshelf and ripped it to shreds for fun. In all a very appropriate ending to the story.

[Kristoffer Ahlstrom-Vij @ahlstromvij]

I've now twice ordered D. T. Suzuki's classic 'Introduction to Zen Buddhism', both times they've seemingly gotten lost in the mail (sellers have no idea where they are). I feel there's an important lesson in non-attachment in all of this.

Very sad to hear this. @Jon_Williamson, @KirchinSimon and colleagues hired me at @UniKent for my 1st lectureship. Spent 5 yrs surrounded by amazing colleagues & great students. UK Philosophy will lose a dynamic center of excellence (look at last REF) if Kent goes through w this.

[Jon Williamson @Jon_Williamson_]

Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

A short story.

[Fiona Macpherson @ProfMacpherson]

We have a full-time, permanent position in Philosophy at Glasgow. The area of reserach specialisation is open, but we seek someone who can teach logic (which is the only reason the position has been called a lectureship in logic). Please consider applying! https://t.co/ch3zBhLQp5

If you want to see how sensitive other outcomes are to what people know, you can use my R package “informationeffects.” Learn more here: https://t.co/TqZzJVGqii. (7/7)

[Kristoffer Ahlstrom-Vij @ahlstromvij]

Politicians often claim to represent “the will of the people.” But how does what voters know affect this will? In a recent @ps_polisci #openaccess paper, @williamlallen and I examine this question in the context of the Brexit referendum: https://t.co/FXEfHAN5pW (1/7)

[Kristoffer Ahlstrom-Vij @ahlstromvij]

We think such “stress-tests” matter for three reasons: they (1) highlight the importance of information for voters’ choices, (2) raise important questions about political legitimacy, and (3) provide a methodological template for being explicit about causal assumptions. (6/7)
