listen, I don't want to sway the guy, but if he somehow gets rid of some of the shame around diverse sexual behaviors, my research on moral incongruence might become less relevant, and between the reduction of suffering of millions of people or my h-index, who is to say which matters more?

My masters thesis was on the notion of anger at god for making you in a way that was incompatible with his commands… you know, anger at god for giving you desires and then telling you those desires are wrong… which woulda been banned by this

Emily Oster and Jay Bhattacharya—two of the most horrifically, consequentially, and immovably wrong voices of the pandemic—discussing scientific integrity is so wild. These people ignored evidence to push an ideological right-wing reopening agenda. Now, Jay is dismantling public health with RFK.

This is anti-religious bias and it’s in vogue because there are some extreme versions of it in power in the US right now, but belief in evil spirits is a current part of the religious beliefs of the *vast* majority of humanity

Strong agree. The notion that a grad student using genAI is the unpardonable sin is both cruel and inconsistent. Lots of labs (mine included) have clear guidelines/rules for its use. Some labs prohibit entirely. Some use for everything. Some professors are too checked out to care.

I think it's actually quite confusing to be a grad student or early career scholar right now. There's a large camp with this kind of view, and then there's the other camp -- you start to see Reddit posts with "my advisor didn't read my paper, they just sent me back ChatGpt feedback."

One of my favorite things about this teacher is that she has had them read 3 separate works fiction set in the Holocaust, which was not typically part of the planned curriculum, but probably will be moving forward because she likes to ask them to think about themes in fiction that apply today.

Exercise science is still my favorite literature to browse when I’m feeling like psychology research is terrible

My 12yo regularly asks me “my teacher is having us do X, is this a real thing that actually helps?” And I regularly talk through the research with her So far we’ve had to talk about learning styles, growth mindset, and grit But those are mostly psychology’s garbage seeping into education

Just read this interview with Taylor Dearden, and celebrities promoting chiropractors for chronic illness issues is so dangerous. No legit doctor who treats chronic illness will recommend you go to a chiropractor. www.interviewmagazine.com/film/taylor-...

One of my favorite facts about Murphy vs NCAA, the decision that legalized sports betting, is that public health considerations, risks of harm, and risks of addiction were mentioned in the argument and decision… Zero times. Literally zero times. Public health wasn’t considered at all.

So, I definitely think there’s an appropriate and reasonable way to invoke comparisons to Pharisees in Christian thought… I’ve done it myself several times, and it hinges on he notion of calling out religious hypocrisy There’s also an antisemitic way to do it Guess which one this is

Guys, I know there is no version of rear-ending someone that is a good outcome, but I promise most of us will never experience the pain that this dude, whose identity I have obscured, is experiencing having rear-ended someone in his 68 Camaro SS that *was* in mint condition.

I agree with this, I will absolutely wear nice dress shoes with a nice outfit, and will also wear sneakers with a nice outfit, but the hybrid is an abomination
