I am sad to see some people I respect on this list in addition to Epstein friends, the usual racists and sexists, and a few useful idiots. The issue is simple: race science is pseudoscience and there are many excellent scholars without job out there. Why give it to someone doing pseudoscience?

How can we study human development over two thousand years? For most periods and regions, we lack reliable data on income, health, or education. Before 1800, and outside Europe, historical records are extremely fragmentary. Thread 👇 🧵

Any reason why #Apple doesn’t allow me to play a track titled “Republican Party Reptile” from an album I bought years ago? @redditapplemusic.bsky.social @appleinsider.com

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

Ik vertaal dit positief: belang van epistemische bescheidenheid. Belangrijk voor complexe vraagstukken die alleen door bundeling expertise uit verschillende disciplines kunnen worden opgelost. Valkuil 1: Niet erkennen van expertise uit een discipline die tòch belangrijke input zou kunnen leveren.
