A NY group (@datasociety) dropped this scare ‘report’ on Erev Yom Kippur. By the time the fast was over, it had been shared glowingly by the @CJR @guardian @wired, the head of @voxdotcom, etc..
Neat trick! I’m learning. Well done.
The 1st round goes to you all.
So let’s dance.https://twitter.com/datasociety/status/1042050657614745600 …
Note: I don’t know what their thinking was, but even though i saw it before sundown, there was no time to digest it. So by Erev Yom Kippur, I’m complaining about it being the day before fasting commenced. Just to be technical for those of you who will make such arguments.
I know this is awful, but as I pour through this document. I'm still in the laugh out loud phase. between the charts and the cover graphics, it's as absurd as a Boris and Natasha. i mean, is anyone buying this? it's like a dadaist installation at this point.
Perhaps people don't buy it now, but I'm sad to say they will. Even if it is debunked, the fog of time, in combination with the society-wide game of telephone, will turn its bogus conclusions into common knowledge. That's how these things go.
i know. the laughing is a defense mechanism because i can't wrap my mind around how this is reality, and this is where we're at as a culture and a people. this is a very, very bad thing.
It is bad and I'm sorry it has come to that, Dani. I laughed at it too, you know. My laughter was more derisive - informed by having experienced the decimation of my own society at the hands of the same level of cynisism and ideological possession. We have to challenge it tho.
indeed, we do, my friend.
Attacking the nazis while they are all away at synagogue services I see. Smart timing.
Please tell me you are being ironic
Oh I never joke about such serious matters ;)
"Guilty by association" has been updated for the 21st century, it's now "Guilty by degrees of separation"
Or guilt by conversation
Don’t dismiss it so quickly, Eric. Using the same methodology gleaned from this study I made some shocking findings of my own...https://twitter.com/ruminorang/status/1042807214661136384?s=21 …
That last graphic has me freaking out! I'm going to have to get a bulletproof backpack and start setting up my bomb shelter like yesterday...
It sounds like you’re really worried. That’s good
Shame on you, @WIRED @guardian @voxdotcom It's bad enough that Rebecca Lewis didn't fact-check her atrocity of a report that was steeped more in magical thinking than in critical thought or fact; but for you to reprint that drek without doing your own due diligence? SHAME ON YOU
This is ridiculous, especially the monetization part. If you listen to @jordanbpeterson and can’t tell that he is genuinely trying to make your life better for no other reason than the benefit of humanity then you are a brainwashed fool with an agenda
You need a Shabos goy to watch out for IDW hits.
Check their list of founders. Every major foundation in the galaxy. We need to contact every one of them and ask why they support treating independent journalists like a terrorist network. I’m beyond words here.
Methodologically, the report is faulty on so many levels. More importantly, a data scientist would write a code to collect the data NOT "manually hand-pick" the research sample. @luyibov is the goddess of dynamic networks also a mathematician @EricRWeinstein worth to contact!
