Up until a few weeks ago, I'd never heard of "Bill Ackman." But I want to thank him for renewing my belief that wealthy people are amoral monsters who should be kept as far away as possible from institutions for the common good and the public policies about them.

Hot take: The shift away from theory (and/or "theory") is an unmitigated good thing. It's de-privileged the discipline, made placement less dependent on prestige, opened up new/better career paths, and made the empirical work we do stronger than it used to be.

The diet of social scientists is tilted heavily toward methods (for empirical research) relative to theory. As a result, few cultivate the theoretical imagination and our disciplines are comparatively theory-poor. Am I wrong? If not, what can be done to bring theory back in?

Hot take: The “credibility revolution” has made this sort of thing much worse. Causality shouldn’t be nearly as important as it currently is, especially in soc/beh sciences. It’s reification (and the denigration of description) is a giant net negative for the social sciences.

“Shaming won’t change anyone’s mind” misses two points. First: *nothing* will change anti-vaxxers minds at this point. Second: sometimes we should shame shameful people just to shame them, because they deserve it, irrespective of whether it will affect their behavior or not.
