I see this group as being part of a deep and real intellectual struggle with the underpinnings of the field.

I just noticed Brad tweeted this, which probably captures the overarching theme of some of this thread...https://twitter.com/ProfData/status/1098905638891999232 …

I like the frankness of the title...
-
But I think blanket statements about a complex function/environment like twitter, which has undoubtedly played a very positive role in many respects, is pointless. Important points can be made briefly, or in threads, just not always.
-
Sensible! There are some comments at the end of the blog where twitter can (and does) serve useful and positive functions.
-
What I found so cool about it is that you can talk to people who you'd never get a chance to otherwise...

So when she says "I" she's not talking about herself?? Sorry, I missed that nuance.
-
Maybe she has the time to explain...
-
She's generously chosen to do a lot of explaining already, so I'll take a stab at this. I believe her intent was to declare an attitude for engaging on (science) twitter and invite others to adopt it. The language of prayer is to convey hope, redemption, and communal adoption.
-
I dunno if that was grotesque mansplaination but I feel like there are a few people doing a lot of the heavy lifting and they need a break
-
I think that if you're not willing to fight for your ideas they won't get much traction, even if they're right. And it's well known that putting them out there as strongly as possible is the best way to expose their flaws. Nothing wrong with being wrong.
-
I don't disagree, but I think tone and context are challenging on twitter. And the concerns are over tone & intent. "Strength" is an ambiguous word. A clear, well-formulated argument and "I dont believe u cuz fMRI sux" are both "strong" statements.
-
put another way, I want to put ideas against each other, not people. Displays of social dominance in one's tone serve to put one person above another, rather than one idea above another.

There was a context, but it was still intended as a statement of personal intention that I invite others to adopt as well. “I” means “me” means “you” means “us”. Trying to establish norms, as
@twitemp1 hinted at in her thread today.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
