@freedaaron As a conservative I agree that academia should be truth seeking and owes no ideology favor.
But the work of James C. Phillips, and his studies on political discrimination for equally credentialed candidates raises issues that are worth looking into.
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 (Part 3) doesn’t prove discrimination, but is a proxy for it. But the overall answer is that most cons self select into higher earning roles, while liberals view academia as higher prestige than say, banking roles etc. Which would point to less discrimination than cons think
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 (Part2)meta analysis have been done showing that in hiring and tenure decisions, all other factors being equal, conservatives had to have significantly more research output and citations than their equal liberal counterparts for the same jobs, on average. Proxy for discrimination
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 Conservative representation in academia is mostly low due to the fact that higher intelligence and higher ed achieving cons self select into roles like banking etc, but of those who do enter academia there is proxy evidence for at least some discrimination (part 1)
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 If that’s your take then you’re entitled to it, but you did it after conjuring trump out of nowhere in a thread that has nothing to do with trump, and is about conservative representation in academia which was low before trump, and is still low now
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 1. You equated all conservatives to fascism, 2. You then said because I was socially conservative I voted for trump, 3. I tell you I didn’t but I think both were bad candidates and it’s still fine to admit the good he’s done even if most is bad, 4, you go on trump mental tirade
@victorckumar Don’t disagree but why was the replication crisis such a thing in social sciences, up to 60-70% in some meta analysis, what methodology were these people being taught? Was it genuinely bad faith or was it due to genuine lack of methodology and statistical analysis
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 You argue like a petulant child and have a massive issue with trump. You bring him up at every turn, you are not an academic nor have you displayed any level of intelligence. You have not brought up a single academic point. You are unwell. You have psychosis
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 Saying trump is corrupt would be one thing, saying he is one of the most corrupt figures in world history is just blatantly retarded. Nothing you say is academic. You are mentally ill, and have a weird fetish related to trump. You need help. This is borderline psychosis
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 You brought trump up out of nowhere. Conjured him up, when nobody mentioned him, and he it irrelevant to the conservative representation in academia. You then equated anyone right of center to a fascist, and went on a manic tirade. You are not a healthy person, nor intelligent
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 Trump has your brain it’s honestly sad to see I hope you get the help you need man. Conjuring trump in a debate where nobody brought him up that freaking out and going on a 2hr tirade about a guy you brought up is just illness, not once even responding to the claim in the post
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 Trump was not part of this debate. Tim Gills post was about conservative under representation in academia, you refused to make a single point about that debate and immediately tried to make the debate about trump, and equate all politics right of center to fascism. You’re Manic
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 You’ve had no rebuttal to anything in this thread. You dragged trump out of nowhere when nobody was discussing trump. You never made a single point about conservative representation in academia. You are mentally ill and unable to participate in a coherent debate.
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 You’re just clowning yourself at this point you sound manic in your tweets. On a broad average the democrats have been worse with the insider trading than the republicans have in Congress so I don’t see how you think Harris would be an isolated difference. Respond to gills point
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 You’re emotionally dysregulated. Steered this conversation to bring up trump out of nowhere and still haven’t referenced the main point of this post once. You have issues. Not even liberal would look at this convo and think you were coherent or put together
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 To be “at all” corrupt? Oh yes republican mean and bad, democrat good and nice yes yes global politics is that simple, you’re out here throwing the word retard when you are taking the most normie take ever, this isn’t Star Wars. Democrats aren’t the resistance, rep aren’t the emp
@golgfrombism@enzoreds@timgill924 What point have you made directly responding to the claim of either gills sociology issues, or his conservatives in academia claims referenced in this post? What claim specifically are you making on either of these topics
