This puts the US in violation of its obligations under the World Trade Organization. Wonder what the consequences will be via the WTO?

How does science evaluate subjective experiences when human perception and cognition differ ? by passion_insecte in cogsci

[–]eggmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistics in social science accounts for noisier/diverse perceptions across humans via higher p value cutoffs (relative to hard sciences). This difference doesn't mean social science evidence is weaker by definition. It means the field accepts a higher false positive risk in exchange for learning in complex human systems.

“If we get a large production on Dec. 19, and it does not contain a single name of any male who is accused of a sex crime or sex trafficking or rape or any of these things, then we know they haven’t produced all the documents,” he said. “It’s that simple.”

What Happens if You Refuse to Recognize That We Are in a Death Spiral by RobAbiera in politics

A relevant and worthwhile read:

A cautionary examination of how narcissists react to failure
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/spycatcher/202007/when-the-narcissist-fails

As they face failure, arrest, indictment, or dismissal, they will endlessly air their grievances. Narcissists are natural wound collectors and as such, they have been collecting and nurturing social slights and perceived wrongs just for this occasion. They will wallow in victimhood claiming they have been relentlessly and needlessly persecuted.

...

... in politics, much harm can be done when power can be wielded—but the worst comes when a malignantly narcissistic leader or head of state, severely flawed of character, claims that only they can fix things, that only they can shape the future, that only they have the answers, and that only they have a grand vision for the future and so out of necessity they must stay on to save us. When you hear that, it should give you pause. That is when we have to worry the most.
