    This is why I passionately support contextual university admissions - A-level grades alone are NOT a robust measure of potential. They MUST be considered alongside the context in which they are achieved.

    I always talk about the power of crossing over from where you think you stand to meet others. This is brilliant and I would like to see more people be this grown up and meet to actually talk about their views not just shout on Twitter. 💜

    Is economics education changing?... Today at the University of Manchester, the 1st macroeconomics lecture for 1st year students included this - kudos to the prof. But is this a passing moment for 'heterodox' thinking, or the start of a new paradigm?

    Correct. Peer review entered only recently & devitalized science. There is now a *massive* campaign by people who use it to their advantage to rewrite scientific history as if it has always been there as part of the scientific method. This is modern propaganda. A cult. Madness.

    Honestly, the question is not, and has never been, "can machine learning replace radiologists/etc" (which won't happen in the foreseeable future). The question is, how can radiology/etc utilize ML to improve outcomes, decrease the cost of care, and broaden accessibility.

    This, for example: "It is clear that we have entered a period of rapid educational decline, in which some people learn masses, but the masses learn little or nothing at all." It's not at all "clear" that this is the case. Many people as erudite as Scruton would dispute it.

    The market-state dualism is a 20th c ideological boxing match that ignores the household and the commons because, quite frankly, the men who wrote economic theory at the time had their meals cooked and sheets changed for them.

    Disagree so strongly that I'm going to quote tweet.. Students don't need yet more alone-time in bedrooms. They need to get into seminars, meet new people, hear views they disagree with (maybe even communist ones!), learn how to argue & think for selves, see teachers face-to-face.

    I think it is absolutely universal. Tolerating differences of opinion is very unusual & is a norm that needs to be constantly maintained. Authoritarianisms will sneak in and try to take over for our own good constantly.
