Important to be clear that misinformation is bad! There are lots of reasons for concern, but those arguments need to be evidence-based. For more, see my latest review essay: Facts and Myths about Misperceptions (Journal of Economic Perspectives) aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

When Democrats lost in 2016, they knitted pink hats and donated to Planned Parenthood.

Ad from NYT today. Is this Korea’s response to all the recent kimchi-is-Chinese noise?

Seeing lots of new pubs on the "liberal international order," or LIO. Call me crazy, but I think it's a "Western liberal order." LIO implies neutral, abstract, and value-free. But we know it was made for and by the West (ahem, US)...I may threaten to write something on this...

Ok so chapter 12 of “Noise” by Kahneman, Sibony and Sunstein contains a repeated, incorrect claim about stats / causality: the claim that no correlation implies no causation. Easy to disprove this claim, no math needed, see my next tweet.

Thanks for this great opportunity.

A lot of folks on this site seem to confuse HIPAA and HIPPA, so I made a chart to clear up the confusion.

This is great, but why hold meetings anywhere there are constitutional violations. Here’s a list of sundowner towns in my state, and Chicago hosts plenty of annual academic conferences: justice.tougaloo.edu/location/illin…

Luntz fostered the climate-change-skeptic narrative 15 or so years ago. Thanks to him (and others, many whom jumped on that bandwagon), climate change was effectively politicized. He didn’t just do his bullshit focus group stuff… he pushed the anti-science view.

This was a hard interview to listen to for a few reasons (straight.com/music/video-ro…), most of all that “it’s bollocks” that China is blameless.
