@Robin_C_Douglas The Surya Siddhanta calculated the sidereal year as 365.2563637 days, compared to the modern value of 365.2563630. The difference is only 0.0000007 days (about 0.06 seconds).

Meta-meta-analysis: Nudging is practically completely ineffective.
Nudging as a strategy to alter behaviors has garnered increasing attention from both researchers and policymakers. While nudging has been widely adopted as a tool by academics and governments, its effectiveness in changing behaviors has come under some scrutiny in recent years. And this scrutiny has intensified following the publication of meta-analyses finding small to no effects.
This study provides the most comprehensive synthesis of the effectiveness of nudging to date, We conduct a second-order meta-analysis that includes 1638 primary studies and approximately 30 million participants.
The unadjusted pooled estimate indicates a small positive effect. However, multiple diagnostics for small-study and selection bias consistently attenuate this estimate toward zero. We find a small aggregated effect size across these meta-analyses, which drops to d = 0.004 after adjusting for publication bias.
This finding aligns with prior warnings that substantial publication bias in the nudging literature may have inflated effect size estimates and impeded a clear understanding of nudging's true impact. Our moderator analyses did not detect any statistically significant differences in effect size by nudge type, behavioral domain, experimental setting, or study design. Similarly, we found no significant difference between lab-based and field experiments in our moderator test.
Importantly, the alignment of our conclusions with those reached by independent re-analyses suggests that these patterns are robust and reflect genuine features of the nudging evidence base rather than artifacts of our synthesis. Examining the methodological quality of the meta-analyses, we find that most were rated as low or critically low. People cannot be nudged into choices they do not want.

@POTUS @marcorubio keep defending criminals in Colombia. The brother of former president Uribe has been convicted.

[Alexandre Lefebvre @alex_usyd]

Anyone know this guy?

Pico della Mirandola, 15th-century noble and linguistic prodigy, tried to host an all-expenses-paid global debate in Rome to show that ideas across traditions could harmonize.

There are worse projects to revive in 2025.

Plato is philosophy.

A better life awaits if you have the humility to be a student.

@RepCarlos Great, meeting with criminals is the national sport of Republicans.

[Edward Feser @FeserEdward]

Surprised to realize that it has been over 25 years since the appearance of David Conway’s The Rediscovery of Wisdom, an unjustly neglected defense of the ambitious classical tradition in philosophy, which played a major role in convincing Antony Flew to give up his atheism. It’s a scandal that it is still not available in a more affordable edition. @Palgrave, please consider issuing such an edition. There is definitely a market for it!

@defense_civil25 Liars! The decline of the USA is unstoppable with people like you.

@berniemoreno Morons doctrine.

[Trithemius @Trithemius4]

@RepCarlos A government of incompetent individuals and aspiring despots that condemns people without evidence, simply for dissenting from their ideas and refusing to adhere to the Trump doctrine and his court of sycophants.

[Trithemius @Trithemius4]

@RepCarlos @SecRubio Uribe is the same that particpated in the creation of paramilitaries groups that killed around 250.000 colombians. He is the same that design the "false positives" policy that killed 6.402 innocent people. He also made illegal survelliance to his opponents, journalist, judges etc

I very much enjoyed doing this interview with Jason Anderson at his channel We Are Being Transformed. Rejected Knowledge, Internal Eurocentrism, Counter-Normativity, Counter-Normality, and of course a lot of Hermetica.

Fmr Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has been convicted of bribing a witness who tied him to paramilitaries. My book, There Are No Dead Here, tells the story of the vicious paramilitaries' rise on Uribe's watch. https://t.co/Hw7cYq9sRM 1/5
