Why is reducing ideological bias a goal? To what end? Politics is almost always a fight over values, not facts. I don’t care if I am “biased” towards social justice, whatever that means.

My ex-husband is one of the rapists at Aella’s simulated rape orgies that John Wentworth, Nate Soares, and I’ve heard Eliezer Yudkowsky also attended. He was an emotionally abusive partner and, until I left EA/rationality, he used the cult to keep me trapped. Journalists please DM.

There are new and specific numbers in this story, so it’s worth reading. I continue to resent the lack of credit to Nick Schwellenbach at @pogo.org, Dan Friedman at @motherjones.com, and me, who have previously reported every other aspect of this story, including that the sale prices were very high.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Part of the problem is that helping us heal would mean removing those men from their hunting grounds, so we could return to the communities and professions they drove many of us out of. But that's a lot of work and fuss. "Rehabilitation" lets people feel good about maintaining the status quo

Most of the beltway shares the same ideology as university administrators/trustees: "my job is to justify the whims and abuses of the rich and powerful." That's why the five members of Cornell's "External Advisory Board" for their report included David Brooks and an AEI scumbag.

The problem I have with restorative justice is that most people seem to think it means restoring the perpetrator to good standing. It does not, it means making the victim whole again. This is not something they can be achieved when it comes to rape when all to often rapists never face consequences

The fiscal year is over. The dying Social, Behavioral, and Economic division of NSF ended up awarding 90 total grants this year, as opposed to ~700-800 in recent past years. Source: grantwitness.org/nsf/analyses...

The graph shows the cumulative number of awards made by month across this fiscal year, as compared to the last 6 fiscal years. The line for this year is total flat until June, but then finally gets up to 91 by October. In prior years the increase starts building earlier and ends on average in the 700-800 range (with variability, last year was only between 400-500).
