1/ An abstraction of many twitter arguments I see:

Person A: “This form of Type II error is intolerable & must be stopped.”

Person B: “You’re proposing a nightmare of Type I error! Thus I refuse to even acknowledge Type II error.”

Person A: “What Type I error? You’re a dolt!”
2/
Person C: “Can you see that it’s a question of balancing Type I & Type II error?”

Person D: “You can’t simply balance them b/c of rights. It’s not an unconstrained optimization.”

Persons A&B: “Wow! You clowns C & D really don’t get it.”

Person C to D in DMs:”Good point D.”
End/

DM of D to C: “Yours as well C. I like your tweets which I often disagree with. Would be up for lunch if your’re ever in Lagos.”

DM of C to D: “Same here if you’re ever stateside. Great meeting you.”

[Three days later on Twitter...]

Person A: “End all Type II error MFs!!

Decriminalize grace, growth, youthful stupidity and forgiveness.
I should say that I am quite biased here. I have had Harvard autocratically and without warning “change the rules” on me and my wife, not once or twice but three separate times in very serious situations. One of which involved maternity benefits.

It’s a pattern at Harvard.
Correction. Four separate times and all of them at a serious level.

Only perhaps just ask yourself whether that’s really a part of the brain a strong argument would target.
Ha ha! ROTFL. What a self-own. Take the L you clown. You got dragged so hard you didn’t even know you got dunked on! Don’t you even know Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”:

#5 “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon” because there’s no defense against the irrational:
End/ The reason many old Left don’t talk much to SocJus is that their ideas ARE such exploits & tactics. The ‘innovation’ seems to be exploiting old ‘quaint’ customs for rules around engagement. The woke are seen as centering on tactics that parasitize rules for a shared society.

#Actually, moderate Democrats seem to be more popular with general election voters after all. 53eig.ht/30HJdqf
Bernie's polling is decent, but that he does the 2nd-best against Trump (after Biden) is partly an artifact of name recognition. For instance, Buttigieg polls worse than Bernie vs. Trump. But Buttigieg actually has better favorables than Bernie among voters who know who he is.
It's certainly a messy relationship. Some liberals, including Bernie, have decent (though not great) polling. Some moderates don't. But favorability ratings, which allow voters to say they don't recognize a candidate, are a better way to assess this stuff than head-to-head polls.

#Actually, early presidential primary polls are fairly predictive. 53eig.ht/2PtbSd7
You have to adjust for name recognition, though. Biden, at just south of 30 percent, is still something like a 2:1 underdog. And Bernie's position at 20 percent, as I wrote yesterday, is tenable but not great.
Per the chart above, Buttigieg's position is roughly as good as Bernie's on a "polls only" basis, or maybe a bit better. Empirically, you'd slightly prefer to be polling at ~10% with low name recognition than ~20% with high name recognition.

Out today! My new, chart-rich paper on trade, globalization & US public opinion:
cato.org/publications/f…
So now a thread on why I wrote this paper - the data for which were surprisingly difficult to gather (thanks, @pewresearch, @Gallup, @ChicagoCouncil, etc for the help!) - and what it reveals /2
The malleability of US public opinion on trade is something I first noticed years ago (and briefly discussed in this paper from 2011: cato.org/publications/f…). Trade polls have long fluctuated depending on politics, rhetoric & the economy. /3
