The social sciences are by far the most prestigious and influential discipline in the modern world, far more so than the natural sciences. Since at least Mill we‘ve understood the natural sciences in terms of the social sciences, not vice versa.

@ScottMGreer By 2028 it will likely be over and Trump's successor can tout it as a win. Unless of course it goes badly...

Three things that are true: 1) The Iran war is unpopular with the majority of Americans, including independents who voted for Trump 2) Trump's core voters, in contrast to the rest of the public, are fine with it. 3) The GOP needs more than MAGA Republicans to win elections.

@CoachDanGo not that surprising. the correlation between size and strength is not as high as commonly assumed.

@MartinShkreli Sports betting has been around since sports. it cannot be 'banned' . it' already heavily regulated. If low IQ people want to blow their money on sports betting, who cares. They re going to lose it one way or another.

the sports betting markets (they're not "prediction" markets) have to be banned. there is no other way.

i think this meme is hilarious. my take on all this: the point of introspection is to end up thinking less, not more, to be more in the flow, more productive, to dissolve into being itself. if your introspection is making you think more i recommend getting another one

The craziest study ever - The Minnesota Starvation Experiment 32 young men were put on a 40% calorie-restricted diet for 6 months, while staying physically very active They lost 25% of their body weight by the end of it Here's what this study contributed to longevity research

@RogierBrussee Sometimes complicated language encodes a mediocre result. I read a paper (when working on my own paper) where the author used a modern k-theoretic approach. I used classical analysis and found an objectively better result, and also rederived his.

This is rather a beautiful example of modern math with very precise and profound statements (not to mention the great use Litt made of it for proving that certain Taylor expansions have rational coefficients) that look like total gibberish to those outside (and many inside) math.

Faltings wins the Abel prize! Obviously his work is immensely influential; in my own research I've used his results on p-adic Hodge theory quite a bit. Aside from his proof of the Mordell conjecture, this is my favorite result of his:

@Math_files Is that all it takes to write a recommendation letter? It's more like an endorsement than a substantive critique

@Empty_America @hamiltonsucks76 @jonatanpallesen yeah, agree. Today's geniuses in quant , AI, FAMNG+ would easily surpass the equivalents 50+ years ago in terms of raw ability. Calculus before college was very rare 70 years go, now it's expected. The expectation is to place well in math competitions, which is far harder.

@hamiltonsucks76 @jonatanpallesen Look into the Flynn effect. Yes, if you were giving a 2026 normed IQ test, the current generation of engineers under 30 would score higher than any prior generation.

@OriolesIdiot @wutawor1d @Empty_America @jonatanpallesen Some of them are still around but they’re very old now. E.g. Gene Kranz who was Lead Flight Director for Apollo 13 is 92. He was 36 at the time. My claim is that there have always been young people and today’s young people are not necessarily smarter.

@wutawor1d @Empty_America @jonatanpallesen Yeah, this shows how bifurcated America is in terms of talent. On one extreme, remedial college algebra. On the other, math or coding Olympiads. 'Old heads' were not taking calculus at 12, not maxing out AP courses, not maxing out SATs, math competition maxxing , github, etc.

@Empty_America @jonatanpallesen I’m a young engineer working in aerospace. It’s true. 20-30 cohorts are so much smarter than the old heads. They just don’t have the same exposure to tech Some of these kids have been coding since 14, using ai for a half decade already, advanced math all their life, etc
