One of the most remarkable things to me about all these studies that turn out to have misused data, etc., is that most researchers apparently keep incredibly poor records; there's no audit history for changes; Excel is somehow the gold standard. I guess that's true in business, but I somehow thought there would be university, journal, and professional standards that required very specific one-way archiving of data, etc.

@molly0xfff i remember that podcast and thought the book would be more analytical. after the indictments, i thought he'd really want to dig into what went wrong, especially with that level of access but it seems he falls in love with characters he's writing about.

@delong feels like the stripping away of values only to be replaced by some neoliberal market valuation of all things in society has brought us here. it's not so much that the previous value system was great or fair to all or what not, but we didn't interrogate enough what the right value system was and then everything was replaced by the dollar, eyeballs, clicks. and the complete lack of mediation between the experts, the extremists/ racists, and the broader public all competing for clicks and clout seems to have fractured whatever civic friendship might have existed before.

the most troublesome part about vivek ramaswamy is from a story i heard pablo torre tell on a podcast where ramaswamy would raise his hand in lecture in the shape of a "v".

all the best to michael lewis who no longer has easy access to the subject of his book just across the bay. on the other hand, maybe he's already done with his book.
