This only happens to you once

Simonsohn has now posted a blog response to our recent paper about the poor statistical properties of the P curve. @clintin.bsky.social and I are finishing up a less-technical paper that will serve as a response. But I wanted to address a meta-issue *around* this that may clarify some things. 1/x

There is, I believe, only one correct answer to this problem.

Paul Feyerabend, Against Method. Prescriptions about how science MUST be done? Simply a bad, authoritarian idea. And based on the history of science, not good for scientific progress. #metasci

Being a social scientist means holding two truths at once: 1. This is all deeply complicated 2. I have to submit something by Tuesday

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

As a humanitarian aid worker, 28-year-old Edward Scott has made multiple trips to the front-line areas to evacuate civilian Ukrainians. But the mission on Jan. 30 to the embattled city of Pokrovsk in southern Donetsk Oblast was different.

You prob follow @3blue1brown.bsky.social already. This latest video is great. I watched it with my son, who saw how all that middle school trig he learned solves important astronomy problems. I just wish he had learned it with these examples instead of "how tall is the tree". youtu.be/YdOXS_9_P4U

Revisiting this 2019 article bec it makes me feel less lonely in this fight abt what replications are/aren't. The default expectation of replication based on inferential methods is fraught as it ignores the fact that inference is just as much abt the assumptions. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Over the past year, I've resisted blogging about why Protzko needed retracted. Unfortunately, the authors have used their platforms to mislead about the cause for retraction. As they cannot be honest, I'm choosing to be fully open and transparent. #metascience joebakcoleman.com/blog/2024/pr...

It concerns and deflates me that these obviously erroneous statements are repeated by leaders of metascience. Calling a replicated experimental effect truth is an affront to the whole scientific enterprise. "Follow this procedure and truth is around the corner!"

IQ is a clear example of this. IQ tests are highly "reproducible," so we know we must be measuring *something*. But that doesn't mean we are measuring what we think we are measuring (general purpose intelligence).

i read the post on Gelman’s blog about the Protzko et al. “high replicability” paper, and then i skimmed the published paper, and then i read the review i wrote for an older version of the paper when it was submitted to Nature back in 2020, and after that i was left with 2 questions:
