In response to this follow up from Kaufmann, I updated my post today to clarify that I don’t think the weighted or unweighted estimates are a good answer to this question

16 million views and a bunch of media write-ups for a claim that falls apart if you actually use the survey weights like you are taught to do in undergrad. I would say the University of Buckingham is not sending their best but realistically they probably are

There are a number of issues with this analysis but I found one that I haven't seen anyone else mention: Kaufmann estimates gender ID from the FIRE data without using the survey weights When the weights are used as designed, the evidence for his core claim disappears

The world is much more complex than we can individually comprehend. If systems don't have ways of simplifying that ("attenuating variety" per Stafford Beer) then the variety will still be attenuated, just in a completely arbitrary way that leads to us prioritising completely the wrong information.

developing a sort of descriptive thesis that there is a growing anti-civilization movement coalescing around destroying the pillars of modernity: pharmaceuticals, efficient agriculture, and education and their assumptions are widely culturally accepted

Not. Permitted. Under the Law.

Pentametron was one of the great web art projects, retweeting couplets of accidentally iambic tweets. Thanks to Bluesky's open feed, I have resurrected the concept.. Behold @iambic.bot!

You can’t fathom the difference between 0.002 and 1. This chart is to scale.

It’s so dark to see people grind all of this into content of the same flavor as everything else. “Laughing til my head comes off, who’s in a bunker,” etc

tired of seeing videos of people dying on twitter, dragging my feet back over here

instead of a "severe thunderstorm warning," why not try a "gentle thunderstorm reminder"

To everybody who just joined bluesky, please remember some of the culture here is different. For instance, I'm the most blocked person. Don't try to get more blocks than I have, That's appropriation

Laughing at the 1% of users who, after being prompted to change a potentially offensive tweet, made it more offensive

Honestly a great feature!
