fuck it I want the world to burn after what they did to Uhlig
is everyone aware that the American Economic Association was founded
by white eugenicists
and promoted their agenda aggressively in its early years?
lets consult an expert Scholarly source
I havent even gotten to economists yet but we have got to put a stop to all Fields
Biology? Canceled. Law? Canceled. Theater, literature, the Democratic Party, the State of Wisconsin but especially its University?
You better believe that's a cancelling
Socialism? CANCELED
The Left? CANCELED
Birth control? CANCELED
(overall I would say the Catholic Church is the last man standing think about THAT)
lets turn now to the eras Progressive economists
Have you heard the tragedy of Commons?
I thought not. It is not a story the AEA would tell you
Its a Eugenic's story
meanwhile, AEA cofounder Simon Patten was Breeding Supermen and measuring skulls
(@newrepublic: canceled as fuck)
i wonder what view's @AEAjournals published about black people
(@Prudential: canceled. Is it not the same firm? Tear it for its bad verses)
(Sociology: canceled)
And now it gets interesting.
@HowardU? Canceled.
WEB Du Bois: toast
wonder what the future 28th president of the United states was up to during these times
I think my point is clear
Any discipline or entity with its origins in the progressive era must be Purged
As a starting point, here is what I suggest
I have in my hand a list of 500--a list of names which are known to be members of the American Economics Association and who are nevertheless still working and shaping policy in economics across the United States
@DistractedAnna @wrongbutkind Happy to field questions as you like. I know the most about economics, but some lessons are broadly applicable, and this is a good place to get inside information on navigating schools.
Good luck, and stay safe. 🙏
@selentelechia so skimming, a few years later, i notice @ProfEmilyOster signed this letter and i no longer feel bad about what mommy groups are doing to her and in fact you know what i hope they succeed in cancelling her
economics is outstanding amongst the social scientists in its willingness to consider second-order effects
so we shouldnt be surprised that with typical lucidity, cancellations in the field are not just for an alleged offender, but for his defenders too
im aware of a group of chinese economists with evidence suggesting we implement cancellations out to nine degrees of separation but they havent put out a working paper yet so i think its a bit early to discuss the results
everyone on this list should frankly die of shame
imbens is especially disappointing to me
whole fucking profession letting me down but him in particular. i looked up to him.
AI is not currently good enough to cause me to lose my job but i expect ive got maybe a year to figure out how to move up several abstraction layers some of which may not even exist yet
this is going to get weird because idk how people starting careers will even begin
my intuition is that having a model of how a function--data, engineering, product, whatever--functions is important to capably automating that function
people who have been operating in those functions for years seem as though they'd have an overwhelming advantage in this
but of course to the extent agents hollow out these functions and displace human labor its hard to imagine firm structures remaining as they exist, designed for human operations
so this probably gets me another year or two max, if i'm working in tech proper
the biden administration, which i assume had access to people who know at least as much about missiles as i do, equivocated about whether or not they believed the israeli explanation that the strike was a failed hamas rocket
a major lesson of the awokening for me was that a significant number of people on the left hate me and would prefer i not exist and a majority of the country is willing to go along with policies operating toward that end
this was probably an infohazard
i call it an infohazard because there's really not anything i can do with this information but it leaves me anxious about the future, and experiencing to varying degrees contempt or outright hatred toward people about whom i had previously felt positively
when i look at the political landscape i see two factions wholly unworthy of the inheritance bequeathed to us by our ancestors
the important difference between them is that one is directed by people who would prefer i be erased
