Rachel Z Friedman's Probable Justice is the best treatment I've read so far of the history & political economy of the classical/frequentist/subjectivist interpretations of probability and their relevance for solidaristic projects. Thank you @bayesianboy.bsky.social for the recommendation.

Important new paper out by Sara C. Gomes on "Morbus Mediterraneus", a racist trope in German medicine according to which patients from the Mediterranean basin are hypersensitive to pain, more likely to somatize, or more likely to malinger. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Is there an economic consensus on the effects of the 1834 reform of the old poor laws in England? Or is this oldest of policy-relevant social science controversies still open?

Weber: Only the charisma of democratic leaders and authoritarian capitalists can resist the total bureaucratic rationalization of the lifeworld. Also Weber, presumably: wait, no, not like that.

@lastpositivist.bsky.social Do you think Weber is a basically pleasant bureaucrat or a sexy murder poet? I think he himself could never decide on a lane.

reading aristotle's politics really gives you a feeling for what twitter would have been like in classical athens. mfer is awful, but he would have been a world-class poaster.
