    This thread is illuminating Real-time credential-washing Guzey's independent research gets removed, and Gelman's summary of Guzey gets linked instead. The editors are very clear about why. Without Gelman's summary the criticism would have been removed entirely.

    If you don’t sleep 80hrs/week in your 2s, you’re not going to have a successful childhood. Sorry.

    The social phenomena of the young fearing climate apocalypse isn't what it seems. Nor is it merely irrational. It is expressing acute intuitive knowledge of society threatening problems. This knowledge finds verbal and rational expression in a socially permissable complaint.

    See also: the rise in prestige-focused careerism within EA. Is working as a comms manager at Amazon _really_ the greatest good one can do? It at least builds “career capital”...

    I lost hope in EA a while ago, but the nail in the coffin was learning that EA Global 2019 was essentially a recruiting fair for Deepmind and OpenAI. That “building an AGI” is now considered a prestigious EA career is a clear sign the movement is co-opted.

    Totally insane. In hindsight shouldn’t be surprised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s YouTube obsession. Rise in youth’s ideological nihilism in US also notable.
