UC Berkley gives precedence to diversity statements in hiring process: A person’s candidacy is terminated if their statement does not reach a set cut-off score.
Rather than promoting diversity, this process serves to promote ideological conformity. whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2019/12/31/lif…

Third-party punishment--punishing a wrong-doer who didn't harm you--is a big deal in cooperation lit + economic games work. But when do people ACTUALLY do this in real life? Eric Pedersen, @w_mcauliffe et al.'s cross-cultural recall study suggests: rarely.

Subrena Smith recently argued that “evolutionary psychology, as it is currently understood, is…impossible.”

Fight your biases: support for political violence is *not* higher among conservatives in US. It is higher among liberals. Data from @YouGov, N=1,513 and r=-.18. DV is @sophiamoskalen1's measure of violent activism. Example of biased argument is here: evolution-institute.org/conservative-e… pic.twitter.com/S8BxCq3Kh7

This is the hardest project I ever did, and the one I'm most proud of. Now that it's out, have been meaning to write a post about the content. It looks at the emergence of unfair conventions and norms across social groups (especially gender). Chapters described below: pic.twitter.com/20M3urJOlX

Yes, David is of course right - the rest of the chapter makes that point as well. All the more reason to buy (or borrow or steal) the book yalebooks.yale.edu/book/978030024…. OK, not steal. twitter.com/Professologue/…
