Machine Learning is causing massive leaps everywhere. Also in Economic History. There is a conversation we need to have. What ought to be the new scientific standards? Together with two coauthors . Our argument: We should maybe care a bit less about accuracy 📝🧵

im obsessed with the early modern period because you go to any scientist's biography and it's like "then he wrote a 400 page treatise about how the world-soul is sentient but not conscious and thereby it cannot go to hell"
