"A mental-health crisis is gripping science — toxic research culture is to blame" by Shannon Hall.

"funding should not be entirely based on publications, but rather on a healthy work environment — one that considers the mental health of researchers and the rigour of their work, including ideas that might never land in an academic journal."

Giving people more time on base rate problems resulted in more base rate fallacies?

Base rate problems often lure you into stereoptypic rather than probabilistic thinking. Example:

"Of all 1000 participants: 3 had a tattoo and 997 did not."
"Jay is a 29-year-old male. He has served a short time in prison. He has been living on his own for 2 years now. He has an older car and listens to punk music."
"Is it more probably that Jay has a tattoo or that Jay did not?"

@jae @e_urq Regret comes with freedom, and therefore we must defend the right to regret. The argument that someone might regret transitioning is not a valid reason to withhold the means to do so.

@tesmaia

Cisgender men who get circumcised as adults have a higher regret rate then people who choose trans gender-affirming care.

"Results: 16% answered that their sex life was improved, while 35% reported a worse sex life after #circumcision."

Extremely hot take, but I am now leaning toward the idea that having staff statisticians can sometimes (just occasionally!) be a net negative. Study design can be warped and distorted away from theoretical importance and toward the format of common statistical techniques. I have seen it happen more than once.

Only about 65% of men who survived genital cutting as children are glad they experienced the genital cutting, while 35% outright reject it or have mixed feelings.

Invoking the child's right to freedom of religion to justify genital cutting is illogical. In reality it is an argument for the parents to enforce the parent's religion on an unconsenting, uninformed child, violating the child's freedom of religion and right to bodily integrity.

The activism we do is to fight patriarchal traditions in which children are treated as objects owned, shaped, and controlled by their parents. Ending this oppression is important for seeing children as humans with needs, wants, interests, rights, and opinions of their own which should be given proper respect.

I have invested a lot of time into the FAccT community and there are many things I have not said over the years. But this is a conversation and a reflection that is needed in the community. 🧵

I suggest that people involved in FAccT actually listen to Black women. We've been tone policed, asked to not "offend" people, and getting papers rejected due to not citing white people while discussing Africa. Its a mistake to only pawn this off on algorithmic amplification and

The constant-threats-to-defederate thing is going to kill this place, seriously.

Defederating an instance is an extreme measure and it should only be taken in extreme circumstances.

Finding out I might stop getting posts from people I explicitly follow because they happen to be on an instance being defederated by mine all because a bunch of admins I don't know got in a spat over a user I don't follow is just about the most annoying value proposition imaginable.
