      excellent, enjoyable discussion of my recent preprint on generalization in psychology (https://psyarxiv.com/jqw35 ). if you don't want to read 20 dense pages, you could listen to 40 minutes of this podcast and come away with a pretty accurate summary. thanks @minzlicht, @yorl! https://twitter.com/fourbeerspod/status/1219983054908817408 …

      Jokes aside, the task now imo is to understand why science works when it does. Which means putting aside the rationalist fairy tales and doing the hard work of analyzing lots of specifics and coming up with new, quite different understandings

      Yeah that’s discussed in the podcast. It’s boring and the @fourbeerspod guys say they don’t want to do it; they want to have Big Ideas, that’s what they signed up for in the Olde Days. I totally sympathize, which is why I am an internet crackpot, not a scientist

      Ethnomethodology is one approach to honest stamp collecting in social science. Maybe the social psychologists should rebrand into EM?

      People challenge EM and say “you have no numbers!” And EM says “yes but here is a thing we know *people do*. Here’s 46 video segments where someone does it.” Like the bicycle disassembly trick.

      “But you don’t know how probable it is people do it!” Why would that matter? People do the trick 7% of the time or 87%; provides the same constraint on models of cognition either way.

          “But this is trivial! It’s extremely specific!” That’s stamp collecting, yes… but then I point to the molecular biologist using the same trick. And then we collect some more like that and it starts to look like a coherent research program
