Fair enough ☝️

If a society includes both vegetarians and cannibals, and they are in a deep conflict over what people eat, trying to understand each other and why they have their positions might prevent (further) war. It's just a theory of communication, can't say I'm right.

The billions of research funds channeled into the pockets of Elsevier and other commercial publisher in return for very little actual value is one of academia's big inefficiencies that will eventually be replaced by more attractive Community-run alternatives

We might make more progress by seeking to understand others with different viewpoints, no matter how repulsive we find them. Excluding others viewpoints only deepens division and prevents communication IMO

Dear potential authors. The purpose of #SocArXiv (like any preprint server) is to offer green open access and early dissemination of ongoing scientific work. It is not a place to hack citations or submit garbage that is unpublishable and/or AI written. @socarxiv.bsky.social #openscience

Could also be a network/homophiliy link. That crime becomes institutionalized in places because of contact and social exchange (could also call it a 'contagion' effect, although this is not a term sociologists tend to like). Could also be a policing targeting effect...

In Paris to pick up a trophy today! Honoured that the European Academy of Sociology found my article with Carina Mood interesting enough that they gave it their Best Article Prize.

I look forward to a day of presentations and discussions.

And the article is here

They will be happily retired and not need to be remembered because time with family, social engagement and gardening turn out to be far more satisfying.

The package formerly known as papercheck has changed its name to metacheck! We're checking more than just papers, with functions to assess OSF projects, github repos, and AsPredicted pre-registrations, with more being developed all the time.

It's easy for some of you to just never use LLMs and just criticize people who do. I would like to be in that situation. But here I am, with my moderator volunteers, assessing hundreds of papers submitted to @socarxiv.bsky.social, trying to decide how to fairly judge whether to accept them. /1

You know what Weber knew as he was writing? or did he himself document that he was intentionally making fictious claims?

Nate Breznau @breznaunate.bsky.social · 15d

In Wissenschaft als Beruf (Science as a vocation) Weber points out that we are not value free, and because of this should strive to reduce the impact of our values as much as possible when teaching. www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~oded/X/Webe...

The asymptotic properties of conspiracy theories (as time approaches infinity) is that they are all true

There is a strong implicit assumption here that harmony is good for the human species, the earth and the universe.
