The Discrimination Paradox
This discovery is what began my exposure to how bad political biases in academia really are. The data are overwhelming. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
I can't help myself. Its like Groundhog Day, I keep reliving the same wildly unjustified claims appearing in the "scientific" literature. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
A little mathy but not too hard. Simple version: Lots of known cases where you get what appears to be bias but is really self-selection. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Psst: Don't tell Kendi.
How To and Not To Analyze the Real World for Racism and Sexism

The "There IS Gender Bias in Peer Review but It is Not the Bias You Think" Trilogy.
The bias? Scientific bias in favor of studies showing gender bias. 1. How to think about the evidence: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
TL;DR: It is because they are more likely to be broadly brilliant and broadly brilliant people have LOTS of options besides STEM. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
But its not just "mandatory" implicit bias trainings. Its the whole oeuvre. TBF they are not completely useless. They are useful for "learning what researchers who conduct implicit bias work say their research shows" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
This brilliant and popular essay was a guest post by @sociologyWV. "Hidden forces" as in "unconscious prejudice." "Hidden essences" such as "whiteness." psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Gonna end with another wildly popular guest post. By...wait for it...ready? Like catching Grace Slick with The Great Society (pre-Jefferson Airplane), the one, the only, @clairlemon's guest post BEFORE Quillette. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…

In this SHORT thread, I link my four recent threads that thematically organized my Psych Today blogs. There are >120 and this is not all, but its a lot of the best.
Thread IV: The Social Sciences are a Mess, Including But Not Restricted to Psych Science, and It Includes But Goes Well Beyond The Replication Crisis (in general, and not just for things political-see other threads for those).
My very 1st PsychToday blog: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
No, they don't. My blog is from 2012 psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
Paper on right just came out.
You (could have) heard it here first.
This one is spot on, but its also dangerous.
It is NOT an argument to believe in conspiracy theories or data analysis by your libertarian uncle who knows a little stat.
Its more like "treat scientists' with deep skepticism." psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
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…
THREAD I: My Psych Today Posts Related to the Social Psych of Censorship and Intellectual Intolerance
(this means denunciations, demonization, and attempts to sanction people for their ideas, not just "criticize" them). psychologytoday.com/us/node/115920…
New Blog Post now live: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble…
A small or even infinitesimal (<1%) level of acts of discrimination can produce substantial experiences of discrimination among targeted groups.
Implications for policy and discourse excerpts to the right. 1/3
Of course, this is only 1200+/- word blog, and this IS Twitter (@NewLiberalsPod has been all over this lately), so I pre-emptively denounce myself for not addressing ALL THE OTHER EVILS IN THE WORLD
