Ah, well, while I am here, I will end with a bit of nostalgia, some Oldies But Goodies in The Orwelexicon:
Misbackboned: Image
Miquarkaggressions: Image
A classic, comes up all the time in helping answer the question, "What CAN we conclude from that person making claims based on "the" social science?"

When an earlier version of The Orwelexicon was banned by PsychToday, it was published in @Quillette (its shorter&can still be found here:

I'll end with this trifecta:

Most of you probably do not realize that Occam was a busy beaver, inventing far more than his well-known and popular Razor: Image
In doing this thread, I realized I had forgotten to add this, so JUST did so.

In honor of this stupidity, I thread here an incomplete list of the White administrators and faculty at elite U's that have been forced out for:
1. Ethics violations
2. No ethics violation at all.
🧵
Magill, UPenn Pres, just a month ago.
Bad performance maybe, but no ethics violation.
nytimes.com/2023/12/09/us/…
Thomas Jefferson University President Mark Tykocinski. No ethics violation.
His sin? Liking the wrong tweets.

Its worth remembering that, whether or not they "defended" firings, they denied that "cancel culture" was a thing and *justified* punishing targets & *implemented* firings, suspensions & retracting papers) with variations of "look how evil that person is."
🧵w/receipts.
First, the firings. When possible, I purposely chose some of the most obvious glorification of the firings. Like here:

David Shor, fired for Tweeting a peer reviewed sociology article showing that peaceful protests are more effective than violent ones at persuading people.

Dear Aidan,
Please explain how this ad is NOT in violation of U.S. and Washington DC (where APA, the society sponsoring this journal, is housed) laws prohibiting discrimination based on race.
🧵 ending in END.
The ad, shown in full above, includes:
"In service of APA's commitment to EDI... APA Publishing's fellowship program seeks to elevate leadership opportunities for ECP's (early career psychologists) from communities that have been historically underrepresented..." It explains:
"Such individuals include, but are not limited to, psychologists who are Black, Indigenous, or other people of color and ethnicities..."

THREAD
Academia continues to embarass itself. Paper retracted for absurd concocted reason (way worse than "technicality").
wsj.com/articles/medic…
1/n
From the WSJ article:
"While the respondents consented to the publication of the survey’s results, Springer insists they didn’t specifically agree to publication in a scholarly or peer-reviewed journal. That’s a strange and retrospective requirement"
2/n Image
How this works now -- see @JukkaSavo's thread and paper:
Unequal Treatment Under the Flaw,
on why retractions are no longer for fraud, they are in response to activists who identify flaws that are never used to retract papers that don't piss off activists.

@AndrewJ73405114 @HonestNauman @Komi_Frey @Stanford If anyone is "looking for" ways to be concerned, they sure don't need to look very hard. Reply 🧵
1/n.
The initiative clearly is at Stanford & whole pt of "initiative" is to persuade others to adopt, well, what shall we call this?
@AndrewJ73405114 @HonestNauman @Komi_Frey @Stanford Steelman: "New norms for inclusive language."
Alternative view: "Language policing."
Why? Because of widespread *enforcement* of these "new norms" through punishments.
@AndrewJ73405114 @HonestNauman @Komi_Frey @Stanford 1. Art history faculty fired after showing a medieval masterpiece depicting Mohammed. Not "language" exactly, but falls under broader categories of "expression" and academic freedom.

Why? Bizarre allegations of "harm."
