High incarceration rates in the U.S. affect not only the individuals incarcerated, but their families and communities. Quantifying that effect is challenging, but important for cost-benefit analyses of incarceration policies.

\begin{thread}
There is a long literature showing that incarceration reduces crime rates (primarily through an incapacitation effect), but it may have unintended negative impacts on those closest to the person incarcerated.
The incarceration of a parent could hurt kids by removing a source of emotional support & reducing HH income. On the other hand, removing parents who are engaged in criminal activity could be beneficial for children if those parents created instability or were poor role models.

We don’t know much about whether education-based interventions can reduce recidivism (for those who already have a criminal record). However, there is a long literature on the effects of education on crime more broadly.

/thread
Punchline: education is a very effective way to prevent crime.

Caveat: gathering young people in one place (for school or anything else) can unintentionally increase criminal behavior.

2nd #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what do you currently see as being the major obstacle to women entering your field?'

Responses incl gender career stereotypes from an early age, lack of self-esteem and lack of female role models #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think that there is not enough awareness of female role-models in my field. There need to be more initiatives that allow young women to connect with female role-models so that they can be inspired and motivated to follow in their footsteps."
2. "Discouragement from teachers in high school to pursue a STEM career and an unwelcoming atmosphere in technical universities."

Recently finished Influence by Robert Cialdini.

Many people say it is one of the most important books they've read. When Charlie Munger first read it, he sent Cialdini an A share of Berkshire b/c he was so grateful. That is worth 300k today.

Here's my synopsis...
Main Thesis:

We all have automatic responses programmed into us that can be taken advantage of. It is through these psychological vulnerabilities that the marketer, or anyone really, can prey.

The books goes over the 7 main vulnerabilities and how you can deal with them.
The 7 tools are as follows:

1. Contrast (not explicitly a tool, but it qualifies)
2. Reciprocation
3. Commitment and Consistency (lumped together b/c similar)
4. Social Proof
5. Liking
6. Authority
7. Scarcity

1/ @jordanbpeterson is a controversial character, with many views that I am skeptical. However, JP's bold and unfiltered insights have utility for those who want to survive in this world—better yet want to change it.
2/ Inspired by Christian religious text, Jordan Peterson asserts that life is suffering. He assumes truth in Heideggerian ontology and "Being." Heidegger expresses "B" in "Being" as

1. Not reducible to the material.
2. Requires its own term.
3/ The world swings on a pendulum between chaos and order. The Taoist symbol: chaos as the "yin" and order as the "yang." Humans walk across the border between the yin and the yang.

I'll say at the start that I'm not going to pick apart the entire piece, mostly because I have real work to do, but also because the last time I fact-checked his claims at length, the sum total of his response was to call me a "pasty-faced white leftist"
I'm sure other historians -- or, really, any adult with basic reading skills -- will address D'Souza's claim that Abraham Lincoln, the big-government liberal whose re-election was celebrated by Karl Marx, would have been some kind of Trump toady were he alive today.
