the most laughable thing ever is people gaslighting themselves into believing that the art of war is a self-improvement/business management book. it's a 2000-year old chinese guy telling you to not fight in foggy weather and to avoid siege warfare
@mnvrsngh Do you think there may be some sampling bias due to the fact that average life expectancy for the Hadza people is 33 years old. Even ignoring the egregious mortality rate of 21%, it only increases to 39 by age 20.

@joelkammeyer The bottleneck isn’t applications, it’s interviews. Interviews should be capped per specialty. Applications are simply the means to get the interview.
@GammaCounter @CabreraERDR @londyloo Think of it as tiering. All applicants apply to top and middle tier programs and avoid low-tier programs (HCA run programs, etc.). Anecdotally, I have heard a large number of the SOAP positions are at CMG affiliated places which applicants were told to avoid.
@HalstedMD I get your point but this isn’t true. Look at the numbers for the past 6 years. There are still thousands more applicants than spots, you’re just seeing people avoid CMG/HCA programs and cluster elsewhere.
@TriageNurseMD@londyloo This explanation falls apart when you look at the number of applicants to spots though. Number of applicants roughly the same as prior years (except last year which was anomalous). I would say we are starting to see tiers in EM programs show themselves.
