This has deservedly gone semi-viral (>2k likes). I thread some of my fav replies (which are also excellent) here.
1/n ending in END
Eric was told to ask some "genuine social scientists." His reply not only "rings true," I have seen it. They are so enmeshed in a leftist/activist bubble that conservatives, centrists, libertarians and even mere skeptics scare the bejeesus out of them:
As I was saying:
Truthometer rating: Completely True.
This probably goes a *bit* too far. Still, I'd give it an "A" in the same way that a test that scores 90% gets an A.
Brutally true.
Also brutally true.
I'll end with this good one.

but there are more good ones in the replies.

@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Nah. Just a social psychologists who knows where the skeletons are hidden and who has the skillsets to check under the hood to see how the sausage, whoops, I mean "consensus" is made.

A Priori: When IS social science credible?
This is when:
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Notice the absence of "Majority Vote." Scientific facts/truths are not established by "consensus."
Claims that "X should be believed because consensus" are social conformity moves, and should be a HUGE red flag that maybe "They do not have the evidence."

@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych "The evidence is overwhelming."
While on the topic of cherrypicking, shall we look at some of the other evidence?
17 experiments, nationally representative samples.
No bias.
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Huge audit study NOT included in the meta-analysis Galvan cites. I wonder why?
@RhiannonDauster @MGalvanPsych Other experimental studies finding somewhere between 0 and trivial levels of discrim.

This is why I believe in "implicit bias" (just not the form advanced by most academics). Psychologists SAY the right things. Then keep citing studies that violate several of these standards. Thread with examples.

Thread: Mostly Accessible Sources* Critical of "Implicit Bias" and "Implicit Bias Trainings"
*Serious scientific and science reporting sources. Not talking your libertarian uncle who runs a car dealership.

Reupping this blog for the evening crowd.
Before @jessesingal wrote this article, attempts to scientifically criticize implicit bias or the implicit association test were demonized, derogated, and dismissed. This opened the floodgates.

Jesse is a science news reporter, so that is written in a manner that most people can understand. So is this:

When Bret Stephens, a NYT Opinion writer, expresses more sense and insight on prejudice than I have seen throughout all of Academia: A thread of quotes from:
nytimes.com/2021/05/24/opi…
"In recent years it has become an article of faith on the progressive left that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism and that it’s slander to assume that someone who hates Israel also hates Jews.

Not everyone got the memo."
"Not the people who, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Death to Jews,” according to a witness, assaulted Jewish diners at a Los Angeles sushi restaurant. Not the people who threw fireworks in New York’s diamond district."

Thread on the Silence of SPSP.

Jews are victimized by hate crimes at a far higher rate (given their population) than all other groups, including Blacks&Asians. FBI data shown.

What gives, Officers of and members of SPSP's Diversity Committee?
@kinglakin, @freemanjb, @jarretcrawford, @EliJFinkel, @MaddBlackProf
Those data are FBI from 2017, but its every year.
