What would you do?

@patrick_oshag Metal

❓ What’s the most powerful single word in English ?

@robkhenderson @Quillette Excellent article!

My latest for @Quillette "People don’t need to argue that something is false. You just need to show it’s associated w/ low status. The converse is also true: You don’t need to argue something is true. You just need to show it’s associated w/ high status" quillette.com/2021/04/03/per…

@NewmanRoom9 “The rest of us”:)

So, the bad people become more obviously bad and easier to identify. Seems like an argument for firing them, no? Why make the rest of us commute in order to conceal their inadequacies?

@robkhenderson How about Person-chester University...

"‘mother’ and ‘father’ are no longer appropriate for use in university materials, to be replaced by ‘individuals’ and ‘guardians’" Majority of people in universities were raised by their mothers & fathers. Naturally, they must eliminate using these words spectator.co.uk/article/manche…

@Alex_Danco Brilliant!!!

@robkhenderson Love it! “Self-loathing is a luxury reserved for empire.”

"Americans are fat and lethargic, but their work ethic is second to none, and they never take vacations...They are stupid and uncultured, though they somehow also have the best universities and lead the world in scientific research." alexkaschuta.substack.com/p/observing-th…

@jane_gatsby True...so many of these started as—and should have stayed as—a Twitter thread. And then there are the ones that you wish were 3,000...or the ones you read 10x.

@raguileramx @R_Thaler @lkatz42 Or maybe ideology is having a position on something and then selectively choosing the empirical data you happen to like.

@R_Thaler @lkatz42 Ideology is precisely having a position on something without corresponding empirical data behind it.

Interesting to see economists' beliefs changing over time. I don't think that this is much about ideology. I was around in 1978 and would have responded the same way. Card and Krueger was a game changer, with follow-ups by @lkatz42 and others. Data changes minds (with a lag).

@buffalobobby21 @InvestorAmnesia I would gladly second this wish. These are such helpful insights. But I gather podcasts are likely quite time consuming. Perhaps more participation on other podcasts?

@soulfoodscholar @erikchaz @GeorgetownLaw I think I meant to respond to another tweet by Erik about adding 6 followers:)

@ALehav1 @erikchaz @GeorgetownLaw 😁

Editing finished for my interview with the @soulfoodscholar - How does a @GeorgetownLaw graduate go from working in the White House during the Clinton administration to the award-winning author of a book on soul food history? xactlycorp.com/sales-disrupto…

@robkhenderson We must all aim to be really tall then...

"tall men were perceived as more socially attractive, better adjusted, more masculine, and as having greater professional status when compared with short men but not with men of average height...shortness is more of a liability than tallness is an asset" psycnet.apa.org/record/1993-09…

@InvestorAmnesia Even cooler to have this scene in your vicinity in the first place:)

Pretty cool to look back on essentially the same shot over the course of a year. This Middleburg view never disappoints in the AM.
