More Feyerabend, being sensibly anarchic about the unproven “rules of good science” being forced upon us.
Say what you like about the philosophy of science, but this dude is on fire! 🔥

I’ve been reading Jeremy Bentham on the Panopticon—the circular prison where authorities can see what all the prisoners are doing (the prisoners cannot tell when they’re being monitored).
The point of openness is —> surveillance, a hallmark of distrust. It is **designed** to be demotivating.

Prescriptions about how science MUST be done? Simply a bad, authoritarian idea. And based on the history of science, not good for scientific progress.

I know that #JamesDobson has died, and people have feelings, including ill will.
But I want to point you toward Sojourners magazine, which is an excellent antidote to the authoritarian approach to narrow, disapproving Christianity.

Shai Davidai has pissed a lot of people off, but he’s also been a very productive and interesting social psychologist. It really does seem he’s been pushed out of Columbia for showing up and speaking, which is a reasonable expectation for a professor.

Why I’m Leaving Columbia
When antisemitism became institutional, radical professors fanned the flames and colleagues stayed silent, I had no choice but to walk away. But I won’t stop fighting.

The Perspectives on Psych Science Editor has published a provocative editorial.
The journal \site has erased the previous editor from history, jumping the editor prior to him. I realize his departure was controversial, but the erasure isn't very transparent.

Academic friends, if your NSF grants have been terminated by the administration, FABBS is hosting a webinar Friday about appealing the decisions. It's important that as many people appeal as possible to show we're not accepting this targeting of science. Link to the webinar registration is below.
