"Overconfidence in the global word game, esp. in social sciences, threatens the production & appreciation of genuine knowledge." Fake "facts," the replication crisis & “word laundering” all involve dropping (losing or ignoring) context: twitter.com/literalbanana/…

"With the rise of railway timetables, it was possible to know, down to the minute, when they’d reach the station. Other bubbles re-map the world in other ways: the growth of global trade led Parliament to offer a bounty for accurate measurements of longitude."
