Benjamin Franklin noticed that receiving a favor from someone makes them more positively disposed towards you. Psychologists call this “Franklin Effect” a cognitive bias, but @benlandautaylor argues that is a rational response.

AFAICT "infohazard" now means "naughty idea" in some circles.

thanks to libgen alone, in this part of history, one has more worthwhile information readily available than in any phase previous. it validates all those old romantic notions of what good the internet could do, & smashes up the information barriers around fields of study

This is the kind of art Americans made, when we understood and believed in real industry, as opposed to financial speculation, debt, offshoring, vapid media, and antisocial electronic toys (Facebook, I'm looking at you.) #ReindustrializeAmerica pic.twitter.com/9dWrLvzLDP

From 1889—
DUCHESS: I write letters blatant
On medicines patent
And use any other you mustn’t
DUKE: Believe me, you mustn’t
DUCHESS: And vow my complexion
Derives its perfection
From somebody’s soap – which it doesn’t
DUKE: It certainly doesn’t!

I'm not certain why, but anecdotally, I hear way more reports of this now than there were when I graduated, even as I spend *less* time around recent grads.

I wonder how much labor mobility is hurt by the growing “How the hell do I make new friends now that I'm out of school” problem.

Many of the particulars of military strategy have become outdated since then (although the timeless high-level parts are still worth a close read), but the methodology hasn't.

If you want to learn military strategy, read Clausewitz quickly and skim the examples. If you want to learn theoretical methodology, read Clausewitz closely and reverse-engineer his process.

The examples I could give would be rude, so I’m not gonna do that in public, but I bet you can find cases on your own. Please remember that identifying child groups you belong to is more useful than identifying parent groups you belong to.

The child is convinced that there’s a rivalry between the groups, and that they’re winning handily. Meanwhile, when the parent group thinks about the child group (which is rarely), they think of them with fondness and affection, tinged with a bit of frustration at their antics.

Then the child group starts talking about how they’re superior to the parent group, how the parent’s whole purpose is dumb and misguided, and also we’re better at achieving the parent group’s purpose anyway.

There’s a funny pattern I see sometimes in relations between communities, which I like to call You’re Not My Dad. It starts when a child group splits off from a parent group.

Followers with PhDs: consider making a practice of summarizing and endorsing uncredentialed people's work, so that it becomes legible to wikipedia and other mainstream sources.
For now, this is the best way for fringe intellectual work to enter the public eye.

This thread is illuminating
Real-time credential-washing
Guzey's independent research gets removed, and Gelman's summary of Guzey gets linked instead. The editors are very clear about why.
Without Gelman's summary the criticism would have been removed entirely. twitter.com/alexeyguzey/st…

Yeah, frustrating because it's one more annoying task you have to do, not frustrating because it's insurmountable.
