Lovely article by @deevybee from 1990 (!) discussing Type 1 error inflation due to p-hacking (simulating a 40% Type 1 error rate based on realistic flexibility), bad measurement, bad theory, and proposing prespecifying tests and replications as solutions. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01688639008401022
@Nausicaa Cosmologie: du grec kosmos signifiant ordre, bon ordre, bien rangé 😅

New preprint from my PhD work in a single hypothesis: the cognitive bases of myside confirmation #bias run much deeper in evolutionary history than posited in the literature.

(Will do a 🧵 on it soon, a tad busy right now.)

@adredish Nice! Your 2016 VTE review is always part of my teaching modules on behavior, so I'm very glad to have this extra resource for next year.

#Hippocampus is publishing a series of #science retrospectives about the history and journeys that led us to where we are scientifically.

Mine just dropped.

I'm deeply honored to have been asked to be a part of this. (They are releasing them as they get through production, so keep an eye on the journal for the rest of them. They had us read them to make connections and it's a fantastic set.)

Unmodern Philosophy and Modern Philosophy came out in Paperback last year. It is the text of an unfinished work by Dewey, meticulously edited by Phillip Deen.

The Poems of John Dewey is newly out in Paperback, with a new foreword by Dr. Matt Brown! The editorial introduction by Jo Ann Boydston is actually pretty thrilling (as such things go).

These two, the entire Collected Works, and many other works by and about Dewey are available from SIU Press for 30% off using the code in this post. Also worth checking out is their edition of Essays in Experimental Logic!

“There is something to be said for the assertion that the so-called democratic states of the world have achieved only "bourgeois" democracy. By "bourgeois" democracy is meant one in which power rests finally in the hands of finance capitalism, no matter what claims are made for government of, by and for all the people. In the perspective of history it is clear that the rise of democratic governments has been an accompaniment of the transfer of power from agrarian interests to industrial and commercial interests.” John Dewey, “Democracy is Radical” (1937 LW 11:296).
