Thumb down.

The paper was accepted just a week after submission and claims no data were analysed, despite data clearly being analysed in the paper. The author gives his affiliation as Richard Lynn’s Ulster Institute for Social Research. Wouldn’t be happy if I were on the editorial board of this journal

Yikes. Is this the journal that is now merging with Human Nature?

Boo! I will just miss you! Have a great time!

Point being, the vocab and mannerisms of academia are part of elitist social networks and fabric. These aren’t “skills” - they are social embeddedness. Revealing these for what they are is a huge contribution. Can’t wait to read the rest.

Undergrad and grad school were not intimidating because it was always something we were “supposed” to to, even when basic needs weren’t always met.

Eg my hh was very unusual and difficult in some respects (often hungry, volatility), but my mom was a Yale Law grad and we were taught to be ambitious.

I see it already in the intro. The hidden privilege is so endemic it can be hard to see if you benefit from it. Social networks are vastly underrated in importance.
