The Econ Sci Fi Book Club votes are in and we're reading R.F. Kuang's Babel for our June meetup. A bit of a stretch from trad sci fi, but firmly in the voters' style of longer books with academic themes. If you want to join in, sign up for emails here: sites.google.com/view/econsci... #EconSky

We wrote a piece for Le Monde (with Olivie Marie and Paolo Pinotti) on the (lack of) link between crime and migration. « Il n’y a pas de lien de cause à effet entre l’immigration et la hausse de la criminalité » Here the link (in 🇫🇷): www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl....

Overall, it looks to me like many online participants mistakenly thought that the mirrors -involved- risk, and this confusion caused the main results. The new comment by Banki, Simonsohn, Walatka, and Wu looks to be serious work. It’s changed my mind.

I did a thing about this on Xitter. Here are screenshots. It's the only one I saved.
2020 thread of pitching a near-future novel on COVID to an editor in 1998. Editor is interested and intrigued...Editor starts worrying about where the story is going. Then you say, "Oh, I forgot one thing. While all this is going on, Donald Trump is President." Editor yells, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!!"

Good sci-fi isn't just about the future—it’s about us right now. It takes our struggles, our hopes, and our fears and reframes them in ways that make us think. The best sci-fi makes you feel small and infinite at the same time. 🌌🤯 #WhyILoveSciFi #PerspectiveShift

PSA to job market candidates: if you didn't get a particular flyout, it may have had nothing to do with the quality of your interview. Departments have a myriad of internal constraints and goals that are unobservable to you, and the process is a lot more complex than you think.

An academic paper has excellent empirical evidence & hypotheses that perfectly match the patterns in the data. One catch: AI wrote the hypotheses after seeing the results. Should this matter? New paper w/ Robert Novy-Marx on AI-Powered (Finance) Scholarship🧵 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

unfortunately the Round Ireland Yacht Race describes the route as “leave Ireland and all its islands excluding Rockall to starboard”, so these conditions are far from ideal

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.
The Importance of the Oxford Comma
 
Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission,
the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition
raised by serious serialists keen to ensure
its mandatory use in lists of three things or more.
 
And what a response! From across every nation,
the signatures poured in beyond all expectation –
from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves,
to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze.
 
There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded;
the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid;
the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan;
Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs;
 
plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor –
all supported this change to grammatical law.
This formal petition was then presented in hope
to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope.

I quit Twitter after seeing a tweet that I posted then deleted got dragged on EJMR. I realized that the anxiety and disruption outweigh any joys that I used to have, so I unplugged my account. I will reactivate at some point to keep my account, but don't plan to come back in foreseeable future.

An important point (I wish they also wrote it in English; but Google translate does a very adequate job). More generally: for many (if not most) subjects, university-level education in local languages simply no longer makes sense. dvhn.nl/meningen/Opi...

An opinion I feel should be universal at this point: All indoor public spaces (but especially schools, workplaces, and medical facilities) should be subject to air quality regulations and continuous monitoring and CO2 and particulate concentration numbers should be accessibly displayed.
