Apparently some researchers thought it was significant that early high performance and later high performance were negatively correlated They didn't realize they were conditioning on a collider Nor did the editors at Science, who published their claims anyway Just incredible

Just your casual Saturday flex
I use computers for mathematics so much that sometimes I opt to do a really nasty piece of tensor calculus by hand just to convince myself I've still got it. Just calculated the covariant divergence of a rank-4 tensor density correctly in one shot. Took 3 pages. I feel *alive*.

Said map: https://t.co/OzzZ1R6lAp PS. Brian and Lasse, your PDF is not searchable FYI! It does not appear to be a vector file which would be super useful! #featurerequest

Anyone know if the 2021 Map of the Complexity Sciences includes Steve Lansing? Want to create a fun moment in my undergrad complexity science intro class. cc: @GerritsLasse @complexcase, thanks for making this map! Also obvi if you know the answer I would be much obliged 😊

Torn between the insecurity over our tensions between conservatism and progressiveness, and the fear of facing head-on a steady shift to the latter.

54 percent of Singaporeans now support LGBTQ marriage, an Ipsos survey finds. Why wasn’t it treated with the newsworthiness it deserved?

Looks like a super cool paper, congrats @ravignettes and team 🔥 This is also reminding me of the qn I asked at @sfiscience Complex Systems Summer School last year, about how the Lotka-Volterra equations were able to assume deterministic dynamics. It’s still unresolved for me

The path of complexity: It's been a long journey but the presses are now running to offer a small curated venue for weird papers that could scare disciplinary journals. https://t.co/nEGdplXnx7

It is possible right now to give Ukraine everything it needs to repel Russian aggression. Otherwise, it is possible to hesitate for too long and miss the moment when developed democracies are faced with the need to pay the price with the lives of their own citizens. 11/12

Running them over with a car, or mauling by any other name. Note to self, to recognise mauling when I see it, or heck — am the target of it. And then, don’t engage. As Shleifer says, don’t be so “fucking stupid”. Thanks Sheng.
It's fine to organize seminar series to criticize another scholar's ideas, but it crosses a line if you run them over with a car.

This made me think about the most utilitarian people I know, and wonder if they would ever let themselves connect at the soul. Then it made me think about the most utilitarian system I know (this one), and wonder if it would ever let us ants/agents/particles connect at the soul.
over time, i came to understand. souls will commit suicide if they can't feel themselves. and some environments systematically raise kids who couldn't feel their soul their economic output was good, and their knowledge was impressive, but they were dying at the soul

Fighting Jevons with Jevons, as @EdConwaySky says, means just ramping up the more cheap+efficient game we’ve been playing so far. Does this not assume no physical bounds? Planet is physically not infinite.
🧵Here's a thread about an obscure economic theory from a century and a half ago, which is about to become a MASSIVE deal. ⚡️It helps explains why tackling climate change is going to be v v hard. Some say impossible. The story begins with this building👇 https://t.co/4c9WLV0uHz

The level of pain.
I've read nothing like this before—a painfully honest piece about the cruelty and patriarchy of academia, viewed through the lens of a grieving wife. Lang Chen remembers the last days of husband @Xiaohong__Xu, a brilliant, beloved sociologist from China who passed away at age 45.

The CJ team at @Arnold_Ventures just posted a list of policies that it would be helpful to rigorously evaluate. If you're a researcher looking for natural experiments & research ideas, this is for you!! https://t.co/pHjBRFysTf
