@ToonNoppen @gerardgovers ha, ligt hier ook al een tijdje, maar nog niet in begonnen. Zal daar deze zomer verandering in brengen.
@SofieRoyer Ik woon al wel even samen met een penalist en kan helemaal bevestigen wat je schrijft.
@SofieRoyer statistisch significant wil natuurlijk niet zeggen dat het effect ook groot is. Bovendien zijn er zelfs meta-analyses die een negatief effect tonen van therapie op recidive.
Still, media of all political leanings seem to focus mostly on deplatforming incidents, thus ignoring the more consequential discrimination.
"Willingness to discriminate" is strongest for hiring decisions in most research on this topic. For a substantial part of liberal academia, it seems conservatives are welcome to come and give talks, but they should not be hired.
Even if most respondents say they wouldn't themselves engage in hiring discrimination, they think most of their *colleagues* would. (Perhaps a case of social desirability bias? 🤔)
@SofieRoyer ... het effect van (niet-'organische') therapie op recidive is bij deze populatie waarschijnlijk erg laag, anders dan bv. minister Demir ooit beweerde.
@SofieRoyer dank voor deze verheldering. Heb wel vragen bij de stelling dat"seksuele delinquenten het meeste baat hebben bij therapie en begeleiding, wat het recidiverisico zou verminderen." Recidive-risico bij zedendelinquenten ligt sowieso laag, en ....

Slobodian, de Blommaert van Boston.

Full paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00… Open data on OSF. Thanks to everyone who took the survey! 7/7
Should we protect baby octopuses used in research, even if we don't know whether they can feel pain? We have a new paper out in Laboratory Animals that explores who thinks what, and why. 1/
Second for second, @tylercowen packs more substance into a talk than anyone I'm aware of. This is a clear, non-hysterical, and somewhat soothing discussion of our AI future.
