I predicted several years ago that plagiarism would be the next replication crisis in the academy, and that universities would try to excuse it if the culprit - like Kevin Kruse - was a prominent left wing political activist. I am currently batting 1000. dailywire.com/news/dei-offic…

Pertinent context for this interview: the author of the book he discusses publicly called for a left wing version of January 6th in the event that Biden lost the 2020 election.

A brutal and yet deserved review of Quinn Slobodian's most recent book, noting the pattern several of us have observed: his published works have become increasingly snide, overtly ideological, and devoid of scholarly insight.

This guy doesn't understand the difference between statutory tax rates and effective tax rates. He is also very mad about the confusion that causes him.

Weep for George Stigler for the posthumous indignity of having his name involuntarily affixed to this abomination.

My advice to academic nubes: think of higher ed as Game of Thrones, not a meritocracy. You can't publish your way out of being a lowborn bastard. Kiss up, fit in, & hide your dragons if you want tenure & continue to bend the knee of you wish to keep it. nas.org/blogs/article/…

Diversity is a broad concept.

DEI is an ideological program rooted in critical theory and requiring specific left wing political commitments.

This is not difficult, Leo.

You are defending the falsification of a quotation, which Nikole Hannah-Jones modified, by accusing those who noticed it of 'bad faith.'

You are so detached from reality, Leo, that you've managed to accuse the victim of being the culprit. This seems to be a theme with you.

The fanatacism expressed in this claim is a direct testament that Zucman is not doing social science when he writes about inequality - he's doing activism, and his statistical manipulations are entirely motivated by the political outcomes that he seeks.

Nikole Hannah-Jones quote-edited a critic to change the meaning of his statement and depict it in an unflattering light.
