No, you deserve questions! Questions about your ideas, about other ideas you may not have considered, about where you want to go from there. You might not be getting them already, but if the answer is this, then there is no point in the whole enterprise.

As an evolutionary biologist, I would rather be stuck in an elevator with a creationist than an evolutionary psychologist. If a bunch of entire fields disagree with you, perhaps you’ve gotten something wrong? These people are so exhausting.

Pregnancy kills. New humans, wonderful as they are, are expensive before they’re ever born &extremely so for decades afterwards. Things that should be socialized to support & alleviate these pressures are instead capitalized & moralized to create even more physical&fiscal dangers but do go on

This has been on my feed all day so I'm going to give it as fair as treatment as I can. Prof. Wolfers is well meaning & I get the intuition, but he's speaking outside his area of expertise and he's just wrong. Having lunch with someone you disagree with isn't going to "cure ideological bias." 🧵

There is also a marked increase in dense, AI-written papers. AI tools are making it easy for authors to flood arXiv [and others with] low-value papers.

And by a current Cornell student: "This putrid treatment of women did not originate in this house. It is a culture created over years of “tradition,” and it is what fraternities are built to produce, no matter what we say about the usual exceptions to the rule."

Cornell, abolish your fraternities

I don’t use chemical weapons but I can still be informed about and expected regulation targeting their use. And I’d argue that the limited consumer-sided experience with AI, despite fatal threat they pose, doesn’t actually do much to support understanding the greater threats involved with other uses

The awful Cornell assault story reminds me of the movie "Promising Young Woman". A drunk young woman was raped by a classmate, as his college buddies watched and recorded the assault. It was a really dark movie & reminds me that the ugliness in fiction often stems from reality.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?
