yeah, it's almost like any hack can publish a book on the Enlightenment or on Violence in History without knowing anything about it! https://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1232 …

It’s almost like you linked to an article where Pinker owns the reviewer, Zing!

LOL, nope. If you think that Pinker owns Ziemann, you're probably a Pinker fanboy. Ferex, Pinker responds that Ziemann's complaints about Elias are immaterial as Pinker provides quant neuro args; Ziemann was pointing out reliance on Elias's shoddy history, not Freudianisms.

Submitted a dozen papers - 3 accepted in minor journals. 6 rejected, demonstrating peer review works (even amongst PoMo 'Theory' crowd) and another 3 must have just been ignored. Hardly an indictment of academia, rather a few editors in niche sub-fields likely in decline anyway

You should read some of the trash they print. It’s anti-leftism dancing around as ‘liberalism’.
-
My impression is that 'liberalism' increasingly is just pathetic, whiny men dancing around as 'rational' intellectuals when they don't even know how to properly generalise from a scant amount of evidence. Like, this is three papers in an experiment that otherwise failed.

I mean, they genuinely think they've 'SLAMMED' postmodernism. Don't they. Has anyone even met a card-carrying postmodernist since like 2005? What's next you gonna 'prove' once and for all that mullets are out of fashion?pic.twitter.com/g8G1B0VydA

Well, their attitudes don’t seem to have moved on since the 1970s, maybe they think theory is still in the same decade they are.

Or imagine if Harvard economists published a study that conservatives used to justify austerity worldwide that was based on cherry-picked data and wrong.https://www.minnpost.com/macro-micro-minnesota/2013/05/reinhart-rogoff-economic-study-got-it-wrong-and-so-did-political-react/ …

not sure but i definitely know of some publishers who will publish outlandish claims such as "the rising value of one US dollar means that poverty is over"
-
I thought you guys were claiming "extreme poverty is dropping like a rock" was wrong because of inflation? Now it's the rising value of the dollar? Can't you be at least consistently wrong?
-
no but we can be consistently right
-
Maybe I'm missing something but inflation and the rising value of the dollar are fundamentally different things.
-
Huh, this guy actually deleted his tweets after that, so he did get inflation backwards...
