Jason Stanley on Twitter: "After being lectured sanctimoniously for years about how my thinking ran against polls and statistics, my reaction is: the media’s obsession with quantitative methods to the exclusion of qualitative social and philosophical theory informed by history is a problem."

  Ida B. Wells looked at the statistics about lynching. But it her analysis really shines in her philosophical discussion of the ideology of the conspiracy theory behind lynching.

  Also they’re frequently quite bad at reading quantitative data. A friend and I talked about teaching a mid level philosophy course on these problems.

  Polls are just personality tests for middle-aged people. Fun, pointless, and somewhat misleading.

  As someone who moved from a quant social science program into journalism, this is precisely what I see, and think is so very damaging to journalism. Nothing wrong with good old barefoot empiricism, and even better if it can be informed by more sophisticated theories.
