@CalebLovell This is awesome, but I’m confused by far right as dark blue and center left as red. Isn’t blue often more liberal even in other countries?

@jt_kerwin Excellent!

New paper “Too lucky to be true – Fairness views under the shadow of cheating” accepted at @restatjournal. @Borty_ste, @claudia_zoller, Ivan Soraperra, and I study how redistributive preferences are affected if cheating may, but need not, be the cause of income inequalities [1/5]

How big of a platform is @Twitter? Now that @elonmusk made view counts public, we (@_mohsen_m) can find out

ANSWER: Not nearly as big as it looks! For accounts with lots of followers, only a small fraction (~1%) see median tweet 😬 (and this overcounts, as it includes RT views)

[i/o research @iointelresearch]

A study involving nearly one million adolescents across 78 countries found that boys tend to be happier than girls, and, paradoxically, this gender gap in happiness is widest in societies that have the strongest commitment to gender equality.

DoNotPay is building a chrome extension where you can specify something like “negotiate my Comcast bill down,” and it will use the Comcast online chat to lower your bill with GPT-3.

Over time, Comcast will also use LLMs. So robots will just be negotiating with each other!

@arindube Love @paulkrugman’s take in “Pop Internationalism” (I believe) where for whatever reason the folk psych impulse is to view nations like corporations — but of course that’s totally wrong

@_amengel Hey Drew, it’s easier than you think. You can assign a random var with embedded data for k groups and then use carry forward to randomize items. Like set up two random vars in embedded data for order and stumuli, then use carry forward to preserve the random combo. Happy to chat

[Nathan M. Maddix @NathanMaddix]

@mtmalinen Are you advocating for a widespread bank run to liquidate cash as a precaution against the banks collapsing!? Uh….

[Nathan M. Maddix @NathanMaddix]

@eugen_dimant This is why I didn’t go this year, as much as I wanted to.

[Nathan M. Maddix @NathanMaddix]

@eugen_dimant Hilton hotels thanks you for your support

[Nathan M. Maddix @NathanMaddix]

@LukasKiessling Congrats again, Lukas!

Journalists & psychologists take note: Nature Human Behavior is no longer a peer-reviewed scientific journal but an enforcer of a political creed. I won't referee, publish, or cite (how do we know articles have been vetted for truth rather than political correctness)?

[Eric Neumann @EricNeumannPsy]

What does it mean to be kind?

New pre-print finds that people judge acts as kind which "are more beneficial, more costly, and more inefficient."

Explains why "effective altruism may have negative consequences for the actor, and be difficult to sustain."
