Look, I should warn you upfront: I'm not winning any popularity contests here. I only tweet when I feel like it and have opinions on stuff like politics, racism, sexism, animal cruelty, and weird science experiments. I sometimes tweet about hacking or odd places. I eat trolls.

Goodbye folks. I'm not interested in a loss of anonymity. I don't feel safe giving my private data, an ID or face photo, whatever will constitute "authentication" to one of his companies. No one should have this much say over the rest of us, it's a recipe for disaster.

Wait, Judy Blume is on the banned books list? 🤦‍♀️😂 At what point do we call this self harm? Yes, echo chambers and the narrowest possible domain of perspectives really shouts "strong, quality education" to me. What a goofy witch hunt these people are on. What a stunt.

It had never occurred to me that the reason Russian influence ops were so good at dividing Americans was because they'd learned first on their people. How awful.

@Daemon_Knight40 @SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP Good science and getting the facts will always be my kink, I suppose.

[envelope @envelope000]

@Daemon_Knight40 @SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP We can erroneously make assumptions and thereby build failing or partially/wholly inefficient systems on incorrectly biased conclusions. It is absolutely relevant and important to analyze the environment and other causal parameters in any data based assertions. Just good science.

[envelope @envelope000]

@Daemon_Knight40 @SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP Environmental factors are critical in determining the validity and scope of experimental outcomes and collected data. In defining the validity of a study of individual brains and what causal attributes we might ascribe these outcomes, it certainly does matter.

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP Pardon the lengthy explanation, but my anecdotes differ widely from yours. I usually don't bother interjecting when someone is clearly most interested in validation of their personal experiences, but you seem more intelligent than the average "this is how it is" cave wall sort.

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP /roles in the outcome. How many men & women in these surveys lived in a culture that encouraged specific brain development from childhood on? It's known the brain is plastic even as we age. If we are encouraged in one direction, we tend to excel in that direction. No surprise.

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP For instance, the article's distribution is based on the standard intelligence quotient, but it is widely accepted this is not a complete form of measurement, as you yourself have noticed. Additionally, anecdotal and correlated usually data do a poor job of assessing causation's/

[envelope @envelope000]

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP These studies are often much like our personal anecdotes. We offer them as a data point without digging into how that data was derived and under what circumstances, thereby potentially coming to a completely incorrect conclusion.

[envelope @envelope000]

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP I do understand the implications of the curves mentioned in that article, but I am generally wary of data generated without consideration for the environmental parameters. I find summary conclusions are almost always shallow and incomplete, usually along the bias of the analyst.

@cognazor Cheap seed, why not, eh? We're planting every margin this year, as well, along any road or field side that gets sun.

[envelope @envelope000]

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP In that light, do you suppose your perspective of men and women might be biased towards your personal experiences?

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 @JamieSkojecEXP *I'm asking that sincerely, not as some sarcasm *

There is a *massive* amount of social power in being able to get away with being an asshole or doing or saying things that make people feel shitty without those people feeling like they can say something back to you about it.

@SteveSkojec @nealjclark1 I'd be interested to hear their opinions directly.
