You complain about the UK having hot weather and suddenly the whole population of arizona is in your mentions

Explaining British weather to a non brit is like talking to a brick wall like YES 25 degrees is fucking boiling mate

@oceana_roll @TheMovieMermaid this is how I felt stargazing in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia; it felt like being in a snow-globe, the sky so all-consuming — feeling as if you could fall into it at any moment
English
@TheMovieMermaid Last night I saw a reel that said next time you’re stargazing, flip your perspective and tell yourself you’re looking down into space instead of up and the realize the only thing holding you onto earth is gravity

@gwentybabe @astrogalaxy15 @serpentinerose they're right to mock its quality: the reference is "Do not go gentle into that good night", from a poem by Dylan Thomas; that other translation totally butchered it, at best it's clumsily paraphrased. nonsensical either way
poets.org/poem/do-not-go…
English
@astrogalaxy15 @serpentinerose The translator seems to have no respect for the official translations. They even said 'that's just an interpretation' when shown inages of official merch using 'An Zhe'. They also mocked the official translation quality.

@AzelfDaGirl he's a principled textualist that was radicalized by reading treaties that Congress made with tribes that were then ignored and/or violated by state governments

This is gorgeous. @jasonhickel et al read a 6% fall in an index as an 84% fall in real wages. Sigh.
English
@BillyVonElds @BrianCAlbrecht indeed, and I think any decent econometrics curriculum will attempt to instill epistemic humility in students, so that they use those tools responsibly (I say attempt bc we can't guarantee the lesson will stick in 19-23 year olds)
English
@himbonomics @BrianCAlbrecht And my only point is there are constraints on how much you can “fix” flawed, real world data driven by millions of factors.
English
What I find confusing about this and would love to learn more is that people usually say the first year is the ideological one.
But like intermediate micro? Econometrics 1 and 2?
I’m genuinely curious how one could walk away from a degree thinking this
Seth Harp@sethharpesq
Not an economist but I did graduate first in my class from UT-Austin with a BA in econ and a strong suspicion that I had spent the last three years studying an ideological pseudoscience that had zero predictive power and was based on assumptions so untenable it was almost funny
English
@BrianCAlbrecht usually i roll my eyes at "how is this economics?" but this one is pushing it for me 😭 the methodology is undeniably clever, so atp I'm down to let economists cook wherever they want, spreading the good word of econometrics
English
I’m not saying every NBER should be about prices. But at least once in a while, that would be nice
Rohit Shinde@rohitshinde121
This is Exhibit A for why economics is the apex predator of the social sciences. This should be a nutrition paper. It wouldn't have been NBER material 30 years ago. But economists spent decades sharpening their econometric toolkit into a weapon while other fields coasted on p-hacked garbage, sloppy identification, and storytelling dressed up as research. Now they're colonizing nutrition, public health, criminology, and publishing better work than the people who've spent their whole careers there. Adapt or get swallowed. Simple as.
English
@BillyVonElds @BrianCAlbrecht the assumptions we start with in econometrics, for classical linear regression, are there to illustrate the perfect ideal case and what claims of knowledge can follow from that, but the rest of the course covers what happens when those assumptions are violated, and how to fix it
English
@BrianCAlbrecht Nothing made me think economics was a pseudoscience more than early 2000s econometrics. Maybe the field has evolved but it felt like just inserting assumptions as crutches whenever the math failed. (I have a BA in Econ from Tufts, ‘05)

how my RX 7700S greets me whenever I launch Steam and the Ryzen APU clocks out for its break
English
the whole approach is so vibes-based, especially when it comes to "primary allegiance" depending on not "being subject to" or "owing allegiance" to a "foreign power" — it's so abstract and subjective? maybe a nation-state formally claims allegiance from what they consider a "subject"... but what about the agency of the citizen? they left their home country intentionally; there's no extraterritoriality when it comes to sovereignty. they can also assert claims if this country has a treaty agreeing to honor those

Another high profile law professor weighs in on the side of text, history, and tradition for understanding the upcoming Birthright Citizenship case. @RobLutherLawyer writes that the Original understanding of the citizenship clause tracks President Trump's Executive Order

@danieljmitchell I'd like to see "Laffer-Khaldun Curve" catch on in usage formally, not to be petty towards Mr. Laffer (he agrees), but to introduce more people to Ibn Khaldun
English
Every economist agrees that there is a Laffer Curve (though obviously differ on the desired top tax rate). danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2018/08/10/pau…
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray
What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?
English
@ryancbriggs it's been good to see that eagerness in poli sci for political scientists to challenge themselves with more rigorous, quantitative approaches; we both gain from talking to each other, and ultimately the state of public knowledge is better off for it
English
I think this is an outdated take. I haven’t checked, but here is the most recent issue of AJPS (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/15405907/c…). I expect the gap between quant political science in AJPS and top Econ is not in fact night and day.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania
If you’ve ever read an empirical paper in a top economic journal and compare it to another social science, it’s night and day. Learning about the standards of economics has made me embarrassed of the correlational regression monkey studies I used to read in political science.

Economics: The optimal level of tax evasion, govt waste, crime, and even voter fraud is often *above* zero.
(Because getting to literal zero usually requires imposing dramatically higher costs & burdens on everyone else to ensure prevention of those last, few, toughest cases.)
