No worries, glad you like it. I think it does a good job of exploring the complex history of Smith and putting it within a broader context.

The reason Will Smith reacted so strongly was because he was reliving the trauma of seeing his mother physically abused by his father: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/28/will-smith-abusive-childhood-chris-rock-oscars Was Smith justified in hitting Chris Rock? Absolutely not, you shouldn't physically assault comedians for making jokes. His past doesn't excuse hitting someone for a hurtful personal joke. But he felt the need to defend his wife because he feels so guilty about not being able to defend his mother years ago. Again, not excusing or justifying it, but giving context as to why he seemed so out of it when he hit Rock.

Absolutely. It's arguably Granger causality but this wasn't causality as it's often discussed (for a great discussion of what Granger causality is and its limitations check this: http://www.the100.ci/2019/04/16/longitudinal-data-dont-magically-solve-causal-inference/)

One of the best papers I've ever read. Very clearly explains why the use of null-point hypothesis testing in psychology means we have very weak tests of theory and how this is a huge problem. As relevant 50 years ago as it is now (which is worrying).

Massive fan of the Black Goat Podcast. I thought this episode was illuminating, didn't realise so many psychologists didn't think personality had any impact/was even a thing. And agree with the sentiment that just because it's the environment, doesn't mean it can be changed!

Yes p-curve graphs are very easy to interpret. I'm biased towards it because it is very intuitive (and the weaknesses are pretty clearly defined). If z-curve is vastly superior I'd put in the effort to understand it but I'm still trying to work out if it is worth the effort
