I think social science is clearly possible. The question is whether what passes for social science in our scientific journals deserve the label.

Silicosis is no joke, and I imagine tires wear much faster, leaving toxic dust behind, so my bet would be on gravel roads being worse.

It's not useful. In fact, it's actively harmful. The constant churn of findings and retractions undermines the public's belief in science. When people stop believing in science, you get things like flat earthers, global warmi

The US should not be persecuting Julian Assange, but the Collateral Murder incident was clearly a case of mistaking civilians for combatants and carelessness, not willfull murder of non-combatants as in My Lai. The two cases aren't rem

Dalio's interview with Tyler Cowan [1] was embarrassing. He was totally unable to back up any of his opinions with a coherent argument. His performance was worse than that of any other Cowan guest by an order of magnitude. I'm rel

You're blaming left-wing rhetoric for right-wing violence. That doesn't compute. The voices shaping the narrative on the right have agency. They are not puppets of the left, and they don't get to simply point at woke Twitter
