Thread II: My Psych Today blogs on political bias and lack of intellectual/political diversity in academia.
This connects directly to Thread I, on the social psych of censorship.
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Back in the day, I had *some* hope of changing the hyperpartisanship massive political skew and bias in academia. Silly me.
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
When I thought highlighting a problem might inspire solutions. Silly me.
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
This way understates the problem. There are (literally) about 10x as many *radicals, activists, and Marxists* in the social sciences as Republicans and centrists *combined* (tho this varies by field).

The Personal Experiences with Liberal Bias Trilogy:
1. Grant rejected when it proposed to study liberal bias in psych.
2. We left methods identical, but, instead of liberal bias, we denounced Charles Murray and Nazis.
That got funded.
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
We performed a study showing libs were more biased than cons. Could not get that published. Left in all the results but did not mention that libs were more biased than cons.
That got published.

When Stanford Psych went apopleptic when I presented data on the accuracy of stereotypes.

Review of the Grievance Studies Sting: When academia was found to LOVE stuff like "to overcome patriarchy, we should chain men like dogs" and "social justice cannot be mocked."
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Yes
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Academia could do something about this, if it wanted to. Its not hard. It does not want to.

New report w/@ncri_io out.
Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political VIolence.
Short 🧵Image
Link to full report, which is not that long and should be pretty readable for most people:

Lots of data, but for X, this will do. About half of those on the left in a national survey expressed at least some support for murdering Musk and Trump. networkcontagion.us/wp-content/upl…Image
Correlation table. Shows support for political violence is psychologically highly structured. Support for one type of violence strongly corrs with support for other violence AND with leftwing authoritarianism (don't tell John Jost, he thinks LWA does not exist). Image

You are comparing academics to pop-right writers.
A thread of academics on center/center-right/libertarian books that are at least as high quality as left critiques of the right (but beware of rigorous mortis selectivus: No, Virginia, identifying an actual flaw in one of these books does not make it "worse" than the left critiques of the right; that requires a full-on comparison of strengths and weaknesses).

@MattPolProf Wonderful new book. Debunks nonsense about a slew of progressive cause celebre's (Trayvon Martin, Amy Cooper, etc.) and "science!" nonsense like implicit bias and stereotype threat. Image
@MattPolProf Excellent book on the rise of authoritarianism on the U.S. left. Image

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..."
