In foto l’ingresso del WIFO, l’Istituto Austriaco per la Ricerca Economica, fondato nel 1927 da Mises e Hayek, giganti della Scuola Austriaca. Qui l’idea che la libertà economica sia il cuore della libertà umana ha preso forma.

In questo articolo su Quillette si ricostruisce una vicenda abbastanza vergognosa che descrive come l'ideologia abbia accecato scienziati importanti come Richard Lewontin e Steven Jay Gould nella loro crociata politica e diffamatoria contro Wilson.

Wilson wanted to apply Darwin to everything from ants to humans. In response, the media embarked on a crusade to discredit him.

The European Union undeniably has many flaws, starting with excessive regulation that hinders economic growth. But it is also a project, born from the ruins of World War II, that looks toward a future of peace, democracy, and freedom. There’s no going back.

L’Unione Europea ha innegabilmente tanti difetti, a partire da un eccesso di regolamentazione che ne frena la crescita economica. Ma è anche un progetto, nato dalle macerie della seconda guerra mondiale, che guarda a un futuro di pace, democrazia e libertà. Indietro non si torna.

@elonmusk At least 13 EU member states are rated more economically free than the US, per @Heritage's Index of Economic Freedom. Your attacks are misplaced and instrumental to right-wing #socialism. We need #deregulation not the kind of Big Government populists like

No one should go to jail for a harmless meme: @TheFIREorg President Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff identifies an alarming recent threat to free speech from the right, set off by the communal outrage over the Kirk murder.

Fino a non troppo tempo fa veniva considerato “transfobico” chi affermava che le donne transgender non dovessero essere ammesse nelle categorie femminili. Ora finalmente l’ubriacatura ideologica lascia lentamente il posto alla realtà biologica.
If this is confirmed, and I believe it will be, then the IOC has recognized biological reality, and will protect the boundary around women's sport. It was always a choice. https://t.co/KFUlgn5p0H

There’s pretty good evidence that the men are right about this one. https://t.co/vcH0keO9C7

@lucadecarolis Se sostieni che il problema del caro-affitti si risolva permettendo al comune (o la Regione, o lo Stato) di bloccare i canoni di affitto ad un livello che lui decide essere “congruo”, sei sicuramente molto populista. #Mamdani

A helpful post on polarization: Democratic voters shifted left in the 2010s, Republicans did not shift right. But in Congress it's the opposite. So each side can say the other one became extremists
Has the Democratic Party moved left? Yes, on some issues a lot (figure on the left). But the ideology of the Republican party has become far more extreme overall (figure on the right).

Insomma, il bias di pubblicazione è ancora pervasivo come fenomeno
Evidence of publication bias is even present at PLOS ONE--where the editors (supposedly) "make decisions on submissions based on scientific rigor, regardless of novelty”

L’elettorato democratico si è spostato a sinistra negli anni, mentre i politici repubblicani si sono spostati a destra.

Oggi tante notizie dalla wokeademia. In questo paper, si sostiene la legittimità dell’uso tattico dei dati - leggi confirmation bias - da parte dei transattivisti. Popper spicciame casa.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded this absolute slop. Do you understand yet how fucked our scientific institutions have become?
