J'ai écris ce texte parce que la génétique s'invite partout dans les débats sur l'identité et les revendications des peuples. Et loin d'apporter aux luttes, pour les natifs d'Amérique comme pour les palestiniens, le risque est qu'elles soient sabotées. blogs.mediapart.fr/omar-el-hamo...

Félicien Faury : "C'est totalement un mythe que cet électorat communiste qui aurait basculé du côté du RN. Les classes populaires de droite, qui ont toujours existé, ont basculé à l'extrême droite."

'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

This is an important point in my view: with regard to the US pressure, we are in a situation in which our options are all pretty bad. That’s the consequence of decades of close cooperation - any efforts to decouple and/or use existing links to apply pressure also hurt us. We still may have to do so.

En science des réseaux sociaux, ~1 article sur 3 aurait des conflits d'intérêts non-déclarés. www.science.org/content/arti... Plus frappant encore, seulement ~1 sur 5 aurait connu un processus de publication entièrement indépendant des industriels. L'intégrité scientifique est en grave danger.

Today I read some proper analytic epistemology the first time in a while. It was perfectly good but there was something I found a bit odd about it. This is my attempt to explain what that is. open.substack.com/pub/rbnmcken...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

“Suppressing the demarcationist impulse will also have the healthy effect of obliging us to recognize poorly-conducted science as just that, poorly-conducted science; and of encouraging us, instead of simply sneering at ‘pseudo-science,’ to specify what, exactly, is wrong with [it].” Great paper!

Beautiful experimental philosophy paper on what people ordinarily mean when they say that a statement is “true” Turns out it’s not always about corresponding correctly to the facts. Sometimes it’s more closely related to a moral ideal of “truthfulness” philarchive.org/archive/ZYGTJN
