Tide's also turning on multiverse analysis: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Time to fire up the "um actually causal inference is bad" paper.

I just happened to read @stephenvaisey.com on this www.jstor.org/stable/48642...
Misaligned Incentives. A final mechanism is institutional. Fields like sociology—and subfields like cultural sociology—are made up of organizations, sections, journals, prizes, networks, and so on. Although most scholars endorse interdisciplinarity in theory, the strong nature of fields makes doing actually interdisciplinary research an uphill climb. For graduate students and assistant professors, the main impediment is the risk that innovative interdisciplinary work simply won’t be understood or valued by journal reviewers or hiring departments. This is a real concern given how anxiety provoking the job market already is. For senior faculty, the dynamics are more subtle. By the time a cultural sociologist becomes a full professor, she has become embedded in a network of other sociologists. For some, this means citations, speaking invitations, prizes, and—perhaps most important—status deference. To put it bluntly, at the ASA meetings, people recognize me; at the Cultural Evolution Society or Cognitive Science Society conference, they don’t. If, as Randall Collins claims, we seek out successful interaction rituals, I can see why hanging out exclusively with sociologists is a hard habit to break. Why would I want to feel invisible?

They say this stuff came up "never" or "about once or twice" in past year, but there was substantial difference across topics. Most common topics were related to religion, immigration, and general sentiment toward politicians (we fielded the survey in summer 2024).
