For the record: I am immature enough to keep track of those who unfollow me, but mature enough not to hold it against them. Mostly.

@asymmetricinfo I often think of Paul Lockhart's line:

Many a graduate student has come to grief when they discover, after a decade of being told they were "good at math," that in fact they have no real mathematical talent and are just very good at following directions.

The impulse to try to protect Kamala Harris by deeming all criticism of her either sexist or racist is going to set her up for spectacular failure. Slow-motion own goal unfolding.

[Megan McArdle @asymmetricinfo]

Shades of Clinton, where pointing out that she's wooden in front of a crowd and loaded with Clinton era baggage was deemed unmentionably sexist, right up until she lost to the crude vulgarian with a runaway case of verbal dysentary.

@carney Also diminishes smart kids unfamiliar with the ethos of the cultural elites and the smart homeschooled.

If anyone on this website can introduce me to HFM, I’d love to meet him.

I was looking for the classic formulation of this increased screening for conformity by Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager from over a decade ago and discovered that he gave another interview to @keithgessen last year! https://t.co/KtGNchSYDx

@asymmetricinfo It's not just schools. I work for a bank and we only recruit a handful of elite schools. Kids come in with amazing looking resumes, but they aren't any smarter than "we" were 25 years ago. Everyone has learned to fake it.

And here is that formulation by HFM:

To be clear: I went on to almost flunk out of Penn before once again getting religion, improving my GPA, and ending up as a largely functional adult who meets deadlines. Admitting kids with high SATs and low GPAs is a high-risk strategy ... but schools should take more such risks

[Megan McArdle @asymmetricinfo]

Now, pleasing adults is a skill I probably should have mastered earlier and better ... but society needs its non-conformists, and our elite schools are systematically weeding them out.

[Ian Welsh @iwelsh]

What the Ivies have tended towards for generations now are "super conformers" -- straight As and spent all their time in adult extra-curriculars. People who spent all their time doing what authority wants.

But in the past, they did seek out many of the very smartest, to.

[Megan McArdle @asymmetricinfo]

I got in to Penn with a 2.7 GPA (though improving steadily throughout high school), & parents who couldn't afford to make donations. The weird smart kid who didn't do homework because they were too busy writing a novel was a definite character in the Ivies in my era. Not any more

On this day in 1966, Muhammad Ali knocked out Cleveland Williams. One of the best sports photos of all time, by the great @LeiferNeil

"2016 election. Rittenhouse. Covington. Russian collusion. Vaccines. Bounties on US soldiers. Lab-leak theory. Jussie Smollett. The Pulse shooting. The Atlanta shootings. Hunter Biden laptop. Inflation. Steele Dossier."

All BS. An impressive list when Sullivan lays it out.

[Michael Brendan Dougherty @michaelbd]

I'm sure in the near future, even dimly recalling that anything like this was said - or even linking to it- will be considered Russian disinformation.

[Michael Brendan Dougherty @michaelbd]

Remember when a lot of people came out to write their instant-takes about how arson isn't violence, and then days later they pulled a dead body out of that burned building in Kenosha?

[Andy McCarthy @AndrewCMcCarthy]

What must be going on behind scenes if they decided they had to put this out 9pm Sunday night?

[Tim Duy @TimDuy]

The Fed has already acted differently this time. No way would a prior Fed have sat back while unemployment fell to 4.6% and core inflation rose to 4.6% and not even begun the tightening process.

[CTIronman @CTIronman]

One caveat: this is not CA, NY, NJ or IL where admission cost is prohibitive. R’s could throw a few $ at a competent candidate & hope environment is so favorable in fall 22 they have a real shot
