It's finally here!

Trump has made IPEDS reform official!

American colleges and universities will now be mandated to provide all of the data involved in making admissions decisions.

The American people will know if universities are continuing to engage in racial discrimination.Image
You guys don't know how long this has been in the works.

My hat goes off to the hard-working people of the Domestic Policy Council for making this happen, and to everyone else who had a hand in this.

Won't name any names, but you know who you are, and you know I appreciate you.

The Trump administration has officially taken a stance against debanking.

That means that, soon enough, no more Americans will be deprived of being able to hold a bank account because of the opinions they hold.

Americans will be free to think independently again🧵 Image
The executive order begins with some background:

Americans, often at the behest of government officials, have been subject to the loss of access to financial services.

That often meant having no access to bank accounts, debit and credit cards, investment tools, and so on. Image
And then it gets to the meat:

We want to stop this, because it is anti-freedom.

Financial institutions should not be able to stop Americans from holding whatever views they want to. It's not their business, so they're being asked to stay out of it. Image

Trump is about to sign a historic memorandum.

The memo is going to change how Republicans operate in a way that is almost unprecedented.

In a few short hours, Republicans will start embracing the power of DATA to undermine their political enemies.🧵 Image
What do I mean?

Let today's memo be an example.

Today, the Trump administration is going after universities that have feign compliance with the Supreme Court's ruling in SFFA v. Harvard.

By that I mean, they've continued practicing affirmative action like NYU and Columbia.Image
How?

Through a data collection mechanism called the Integrated Postecondary Education Data System, better known as IPEDS. Image

There's been a long COVID-related rise in self-reported disability.

Notice how the rise starting in mid-2020 mostly has to do with an increase in difficulty remembering things?

That's the brain fog symptom everyone became aware of. Image
Importantly, in both the ACS—which lacks specific long COVID questions—and in the Household Pulse Survey—which added them in 2022—there's a curious demographic concentration of, first, new disability, and second, long COVID reports:

Young, female, Hispanic, and poorly-educated. Image
The timeline for long COVID as a meme is basically:

Spring/Summer 2020: Patient groups, the media mainstream the idea. Survivor Corps, Body Politic, NYT articles, Mount Sinai's dedicated post-COVID clinic, Ed Yong's Atlantic article.Image

More than 5.6 BILLION people took the COVID vaccines.

If there was a mass dying wave, miscarriages and stillbirths, cardiac issues, or anything else, we have more than enough data to show those things.

But they never happened!

They're not real, they're a neurotic delusion.
We have so many person-years of data, that if there's ANY issue, we almost-certainly would have already detected it.

Couple this with the fact that pharmacovigilance has gotten much better over time, and big side effects are just a laughable proposition. Image

Stats on the homeless population are abysmal.

One-in-two has a disability and/or a traumatic brain injury. One-in-five has psychosis. One-in-ten is schizophrenic. One-in-four is just straight-up mentally retarded.

These facts have major consequences. Image
As I noted recently, the White House wants to bring back involuntary commitment.

They're probably in the right to call for that, since so many homeless are incapable of taking care of themselves, or at the very least, not hurting others.

Image
This risk can be through no fault of their own.

Some people are mentally downtrodden because of injuries to the head.

Among the homeless, over half have suffered a TBI, compared to 12% of Americans. Just over 20% have a TBI-related disability, compared to about 2% of Americans.

Does exercising make you smarter?

Lots of people definitely believe it does, but while it might clear your head, it doesn't boost cognitive ability in actual trials.

The appearance that it does is due to poorly-controlled studies and publication bias.Image
So, this is what we have:

1. Exercise does not affect the level of cognitive ability, and

2. (Self-reported) exercise does not affect seem to relate to rates of cognitive decline.Image
You should exercise, and if you're like most people, you should exercise more than you currently do.

Go touch grass. It's good for you.

But don't expect it to make you smarter, and don't expect it to slow your cognitive aging.
