The dishonest social scientists are going to be BTFO in the coming years. Not in the indefinite future, either--soon. In many ways, they already have been, but we're in the early stages yet. Genetic sequencing is in the process of putting the pretty little lies to rest for goodhttps://twitter.com/pnin1957/status/1055817313197441024 …

The real question is if they'll even notice or care. They're already pretty much ignoring psychometrics and behavioral genetics, e.g. Philip Cohen (sociologist) liked this reply in the thread.https://twitter.com/csmarcum/status/1055819739996610560 …

Christopher Marcum @csmarcumReplying to @pnin1957 @familyunequal and 3 othersYou're right! Social scientists have studied measures of intelligence long enough to thoroughly conclude that they're meaningless as instruments of innate ability as they've been derived with racial and ethnic biases built into their structure. Thanks for pointing that out.2 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

They may not care about the data, but the data will care about them. This stuff is actionable. There will be court cases about it and it will have ramifications for labor law. This stuff isn't way off over the horizon anymore, it's coming into view nowhttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/09/06/184853.1 …

The courts are completely ill-equipped to interpret scientific evidence and the state of consensus. Example: This one totally BS study was solely responsible for flipping a state supreme court on a key case.https://twitter.com/AnechoicMedia14/status/1050785002881986561 …

AnechoicMedia @AnechoicMedia14The Washington Supreme Court just struck down the state's death penalty based on a faulty racial bias study whose results *weren't even statistically significant* at the 5% level. Not a single media report details the problems raised with this paper. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/11/656570464/washington-state-strikes-down-death-penalty-citing-racial-bias …Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 7 likes -
Look at how long really bad right-wing beliefs on climate change stuck around, and that was with the entire weight of elite opinion propagandizing against them. Now imagine the same imbalance of power, but the truth is flipped. Will it matter to any reporter, activist, or court?

Genetics can predict things (unlike people talking about the climate, who can’t)

Global warming over the last couple of decades has been in line with predictions. http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=7356
