If you take this "socially construction ate my homework" defense of lockdown learning loss seriously, it implies a signaling rather than human capital model for education, which in turn implies it would be socially optimal to disinvest in education.

โ€œ'Learning loss is largely a subjective term,' she told me. 'Working to standardize our kids at any point in their learning process is an artificial exercise...Characterizing it as learning loss looks at it from a deficit perspective.'"

This thread is like an old west medicine show where the barker says "friends do you suffer from consumption? asthma? inclination to Onanism?" except instead of selling mint-flavored laudanum what you're supposed to buy is 8 oz of hating your parents.

Do you wince or feel anxious when someone walks into a room? Do you want to connect with someone but cannot trust that they actually love you? Do you lack communication skills & immediately lash out or shut down?

Another perfectly good word is being canceled: The USC School of Social Work is nixing the word โ€œfieldโ€ as in โ€œfield workโ€ & โ€œgoing into the field.โ€ USC thinks this has something to do with white supremacy. Please stop.

If the Empire in Star Wars was real, you would see local minorities on every planet actively favoring it as protection against local majorities and then after the Battle of Endor they'd face mass intercommunal violence that would be glossed over in New Republic history textbooks

It's basic behavioral economics of framing. People are OK with high prices that get discounted but not low prices that get a surcharge. This is why The Gap charges $80 for trousers but every other time you go to the mall they have a 40% off sale.

@SwannMarcus89 Garbage archaeology and excise tax data both suggest that NSDUH survey data is an *underestimate* of how much people drink. Since there is little or no social desirability bias against moderate drinking, the skew is probably even greater than it appears in the graph.

@lymanstoneky My opinion of you just dropped, and not by a little. You're entitled to explain why you think a particular pseud is an idiot or creep. You're also entitled to believe that pseudonymity in general is bad. But doxing (and doing so recklessly) is a real bitch move.

@eigenrobot my favorite version of this is when you point out people won't willingly give up cars as long as public transportation is allowed to be a land of wolves and they're just like "we'll march you onto the subway car and make you sit next to the masturbating tweaker at gunpoint"

I generally agree with Yglesias that deterrence is a force multiplier for cancel culture and tenured faculty hold our manhood cheap and find ourselves accursed if we refrain from candor on our expertise, but the fact is speaking a very anodyne truth did destroy Wright's career.

People don't like changing the names of things because at a certain point that's just what they're called. Nobody thinks about Monica of Hippo when visiting Santa Monica, CA and if tomorrow we learned she'd molested a young Augustine in 362 AD we still shouldn't rename that city.

Dear Atheists, Are you aware that the Dead Sea Scrolls are not a Judean newspaper archive but a mix of canonical Hebrew scriptures, 2nd temple apocrypha, and religious texts distinct to the Essenes? It's like saying Elvis didn't exist because L Ron Hubbard never mentioned him.
