@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy Ah makes sense. You should take it up with the journals as I'm sure the editors would have open ears to hear about what their field is as defined by a history undergrad.

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy you could have a Nobel prize in economics and never seen a supply chart? just because something says economics doesn't mean it is?

this is like finding some crank chiropractor and posting "a medical professional explains how vaccines are actually bad and awful"

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy So we’re on the same page what’s the counter example? Lucas had a undergrad in history and Kahneman PhD was in psychology. So how does this prove your point?

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy thanks for providing a great counter example, saved me work!

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy You seem like a reasonable and well adjusted individual. You've convinced me I was wrong🙂

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy you could literally win a Nobel prize in economics AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT ROFL

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy By your standards, a Nobel Prize Winner in economics is not an economist. The undergrad means nothing, Robert Lucas' undergrad was in history but that doesn't mean he was a historian. The research matters and he has research published in economics journals.

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy my undergrad thesis was on economics but I was a history major. sure as fuck doesn't make me an economist

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy His thesis is literally about economics. It doesn't matter if he's in a particular department. He's literally published research in economics.

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy fuck if I know. I do know if you are going against 100s of years of economic principles it helps to HAVE A DEGREE IN ECONOMICS

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy Is Daniel Kahneman an economist?

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy I'm sorry buddy but economics is taught in the economics department not the behavioral and psychological one

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy Yo tell me what the first sentence of that about page says.

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy Department of psychological and behavioral science

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy His PhD thesis is about behavioural economics.

@FinnStel @CameronCorduroy a random youtuber with a degree in a different field?

@Despera417 @CameronCorduroy Not just a random youtuber. lse.ac.uk/people/cahal-m…

@CameronCorduroy not even a crank chiropractor the guy is a random youtuber

@JuicyJuuce @kingofthecoastt It's a positive claim about the type of social change that will occurs as function of exploitation as defined by marxist theory. It's not saying what they want to occur given certain conditions.

@FinnStel @kingofthecoastt i'm not familiar with that debate besides the cursory AI glance i just took, but it seems it was about the past and wasn't about marxism's prescriptions for the future, which has huge normative content.

My favorite lefties are the ones who act like Marxism is an extremely sophisticated ideology that requires a lot of study to understand. Like no, it takes a single sentence. “I think it’s immoral to earn interest on a loan.” That’s it!

@JuicyJuuce @kingofthecoastt I get that online marxists use it in this way but to give a clear example of what I am talking about. The brenner debate was principally about how exploitation affects social change but there are essentially no normative claims in this debate yet its about marxist theory.

@FinnStel @kingofthecoastt it's the eternal marxist motte and bailey around the term exploitation. "exploitation is merely a descriptive claim!" "we will wade through oceans of blood to end the misery of exploitation!"

@DanNeidle Women are generally more risk averse so it doesn't seem that surprising.

I find this totally bizarre:

@kingofthecoastt I get that its usually interpreted as obviously normative even by people who call themselves marxist but this is surely the point that actual marxist is trying to get at. It is more sophisticated than interest = exploitation = bad.

My bad. “I think it’s *exploitation* to earn interest on a loan.” A totally positive statement now that was never meant to have any normative implications x.com/FinnStel/statu…

@kingofthecoastt Marxism isn't an ethical theory though

@twitfinder_ @phdcornbread @leshaami @Bugrepo00 Who is saying that mass shooters are rational?

@phdcornbread @leshaami @Bugrepo00 Please. What’s irrational is all the men who resort to homicidal mass shootings to deal with their emotional issues. 98% of mass shootings are irrational cowardly men.

Women are afraid men will: A. Drug them B. Beat them C. Rape them D. Kill them E. All of the above Men are afraid women will: A. Laugh at them B. Reject them C. Use them for a free meal

@bigman23202641 @C0venC @inkblotPrincess I don't see how his inferiority makes him a reasonable target of contempt.

@C0venC @inkblotPrincess The fact that he so clearly lacks superiority in all measurable categories in this interview, AND he has destroyed his physical and mental health to get to where he is shows how pathetic is world view is on every level

The important thing to recognise here is that Clavicular has won. Whether you think he looks good or bad here, people are solely measuring in terms of which looks hotter. You are all playing the same game.

@reaversugar @jlanuarii You should make the lectures useful enough people actually think they need to attend to pass the module instead of forcing people to attend your useless lectures.

@jlanuarii 75% is a perfectly reasonable demand. Like thats a quarter of your classes you can just fuck off into the wind for, that's pretty good.

why would you spend thousands on college tuition and then NOT show up for class??? 😭

@WaffleHouseGoer @moosewithjob @ThePlastikGatz I’m paying to increase my future earnings. This happens regardless of the stupid lectures I’m forced to attend.

@moosewithjob @ThePlastikGatz You paid for an educational experience not a piece of paper.

I had a college class where the professor took roll every day and refused to let this one guy take the final because he literally never showed up to class all semester. No one felt bad for him.

@Danaturr @moosewithjob @ThePlastikGatz If you can pass the test with same marks as the people who did attend the lectures then the lectures are of no value to you.

@moosewithjob @ThePlastikGatz If you aren't there, you're throwing your money away anyway. So not being allowed to take a final doesn't matter anyway. You wasted the chance and money through your actions.

@LoudHausParty @NovaMike7 @Ihavebraib @brndxix Just say you’re too retarded to study outside of lectures

@NovaMike7 @Ihavebraib @brndxix I sincerely doubt that since colleges also have faires that teach you how to get employment yet somehow magically get their degree and can't get work

when someone’s getting cooked for something you lowkey agree with
