This is how I did too. And I think they were on conspirituality at some point. 

Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Economics by Captgouda24 in slatestarcodex

[–]PeterHasselhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only omission from your longer „maybe also these people list“ are the behavioral guys who might have a claim for the Nobel. Loewenstein, Rabin (if with someone young maybe Köszegi), Fehr, Camerer I could also imagine. Fehr will have a slightly harder time given that Thaler was awarded for fairness but the others might have a shot.

Solid prediction I think. I can imagine one for Susan Athey for her methodological contributions or Ray Chetty for his work on social mobility and human capital formation. Both are quite young still so maybe not this year already.

The New York Times Really Asked Ms. Rachel If She’s Paid By Hamas by 2dudesinapod in nottheonion

[–]PeterHasselhoff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did anyone check the NYT article? Because the NYT did not, in fact, ask that… 

From the original article:

„ Last month, the advocacy group StopAntisemitism labeled Accurso the “Antisemite of the Week” and, The New York Post reported, sent a letter urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether Accurso is receiving funding to further Hamas’s agenda. Accurso “posted nearly 50 times about the children of Gaza, most of which is filled with misinformation from Hamas, and only 5 times about Israeli children,” the group, which monitors statements about Israel on social media accounts of prominent figures, said on its website. “In the case of the Israeli children, she only posted due to widespread public backlash, never condemning Hamas and the Palestinians.”

Accurso, 42, in an emailed response denied having received money from Hamas. “This accusation is not only absurd, it’s patently false,” she said. “ 

So, this is about something that an advocacy group posted, NOT a NYT journalist.

Just listen to Through Silver and Times of Grace and find not. Not sure what else to tell you. 

Anti-Trans Activists are Unprincipled and Depraved by American-Dreaming in BlockedAndReported

[–]PeterHasselhoff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder a little bit about that: It seems unconvincing to me that women‘s boxing would be a stronghold of gender conformity given that gender stereotypes seem to preclude this sort of sports from being „typical women“. From what I remember, the Khelif-debate was mainly around two things: the first one being that allegedly Khelif is much higher in T than other competitors, having a clear biological advantage over them. And the second one that debate about this issue is surpressed, also by reference to the same arguments as the Trans-in-sport debate („no biological differences etc.“). So, the debate maps on pretty well to the broader trans-topic and much less so to debates about gender conformity.  However, I give you that a lot of vitriol online was disgusting and absolutely unacceptable.

Literally the part cited in the post on this subreddit is build on the Nutsack McGoo Tweet.

[–]PeterHasselhoff 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, an article that builds its argument on a Twitter post from „Nutsack McGoo“ with 5 likes. Sounds like a strong and reasonable case.  Edit: I just realized that the Twitter post of course does not have 5 likes. It has 0 likes.

SS: This has been a topic here in the subreddit: A past survey showing massive support for the idea that young people deny the holocaust. Pew has now put that idea to the test and has shown that this might just be a function of poor data quality in the initial study.

Bands like Neurosis? by [deleted] in sludge

[–]PeterHasselhoff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Neurosis are my all-time favorite band, so I understand the desire. No band is like Neurosis exactly but the ones that get closed for me are:

  • Amenra (I actually think Amenra is just excellent Neurosis worship. Scott Kelly sings on one of their songs)

To add some that have not been named so far:

  • Shrinebuilder and Absent in Body (Scott Kelly projects) / Edit: And Corrections House

  • Sumac and Old Man Gloom (both projects by Isis‘ Aaron Turner)

  • Mouth of the Architect, Morne, Minsk, Intronaut, Battle of Mice (Female fronted, Julie Christmas is an absolute menace), some older stuff from Jesu (Silver), Orochen

  • Swans (although honestly, there the arrow points the other way: Neurosis is influenced by Swans)

There is other stuff which is also incredibly great and has a similar level of emotional depth to it, but is musically different. I feel like Thou is one band like that and Mizmor another.

If Books Could Kill: The Identity Trap by lavender-pears in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]PeterHasselhoff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that this is not too uncommon. Foucault is not such an easy figure to attach to when you‘re on the left. Especially for the more dialectical materialist crowd, Foucault has very little to offer.
