Prominent academic brings forward (a) studies and charts showing one thing is causing a second, bad thing, and (b) corresponding urgent policy reforms.

The 5 big questions to ask:

1. Your field is crippled by a vicious replication crisis; 50%+ and maybe even 70% of your field's studies don't give the same results when run by someone else. Why believe any of your analyses?

2. Why should we believe "wet streets cause rain" vs "rain causes wet streets"? A big part of the scientific replication crisis is mispresentation of cause vs effect. Why should we believe the flow of causation is as you say?

3. Few important things in the world are monocausal, most outcomes are overdetermined by several or many causes. Why should we believe that this is the single or main cause that is generating the effect, and not one or dozens of other causes, or no causes at all?

4. Many prominent scientists just like you have come forward over the last 100 years with similar arguments; we look back on many of those as irrational moral panics, people freaking out over comic books and dime novels and bicycles and jazz music. Is this just another in a long series of academic- and activist-driven moral panics?

5. Thomas Sowell says, "There are no solutions, only tradeoffs." What are the tradeoffs of your proposed policy reforms? What are the downsides to be suffered by people you've never met and feel no responsibility to? Are you personally exposed to those downsides, or are you totally off the hook?

@mrcardinaltruth It’s not that this is not true. It’s just that it’s a useless point. The people currently arguing against white privilege want to dismantle it. Which by your definition simply means fighting for another group to become the majority.

@abobo898 Because finance is so disconnected from the market that success no longer means actually popular products, and Civil Rights Act-knock ons/HR Capture means talent is weeded out over ideological conformity.

This is kind of on point for a demographic that believes a superficial cosmetic change alters an underlying reality. A bit too on the nose, even.

My wife is confused because my friend who I haven’t spoken with in two years messaged me “hey man” and we just picked up where we left off like no time had passed—do women not do this

@ImmuneHack The hardest part of getting people to try their hardest academically is convincing them that they're capable of doing something harder and that it's worth trying.

@david_perell Also important that in the age of performance optimizations for the web a logo that can easily be recreated with a google font will win over a logo that will only look good as an expensive png or jpg image though svgs are helping somewhat on this front

Over the past 9 months, I've helped 1,000s clear their first Legendary Lost Sector.

But thousands more are missing Destiny's best exotics.

Here's the best loadout for every Legend Lost Sector this season

@DinoMFX Lol so true! Compile c++ code for UE and suddenly things that worked before start erroring out all over the place. 2 hours later and half your hair pulled out along with most of your sanity lost, you realize you were just supposed to restart the damn game engine.🤣

[Olatunji Jesutomisin @theMindkraft]

I felt this deeply 🤣

@karr_pe @Endymion1989 This really is the perfect distillation of our current reality. Heroic "survivors" wrap themselves in a cloak of borrowed victimhood as they fearlessly spar against paperdoll tigers. Real courage replaced by insta poses.

@wil_da_beast630 no, it is more deeply psychological. people who otherwise are insufficiently challenged need a revolutionary purpose. they cannot abide the unbearable lightness of being.

[Praveen G Budhia @Marshmallow_lad]

@SamoBurja It's Simple..🥱🥱🥱

[junco subconsultant @parlance_common]

@wil_da_beast630 It’s weird how the broader mainstream culture has immense psychological impact, but home or neighborhood culture doesn’t. Also weird how cultural differences exist when they’re positive (and can be “appropriated”) but not when they’re negative.

Perfectly stated
