Great book. Just finished. Whenever I read Castoriadis it is a pleasure.
I suppose next days I will be commenting some quotes.

Ingo RohlfingControlled experiment finds no detectable citation bump from Twitter promotion https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.17.558161v1 Good that article choice and tweet timing were randomized. In observational setting, it is likely that people tweet about the most interesting papers, which are also likely to perform better on attention metrics (citations, Altmetrics etc.).
- Altmetrics and tweets are boosted.
- Citations higher after three years, but w/o statistical significance.
Three thoughts on this: 1/

Pourvu que certaines conditions soient remplies, il est beaucoup plus facile d'adopter un objet technique nouveau que d'inventer una nouvelle relation technique (Philippe Descola, Par-delà nature et culture, Cap. 15, p. 653)
Útil reflexión en torno a las adopciones técnicas al fin
Para comentario (q siempre se necesita), artículo en torno a claridad y confusión en teoría/acción social. La idea central es q la exigencia de claridad muchas veces la aplicamos no tanto en el modelo sino en el *objeto*. Pero nuestro objeto es confuso.

We've seen this movie before. As Imani Barbarin says, they’re going to “herd immunity” climate change.
Alex WildWhen white supremacy starts losing elections, white supremacists game the system to hold power anyway.
This is why the United States lacks democratic legitimacy.

Brendan HalpinI've been upgrading my SADI code for lifecourse sequence analysis in #Stata (categorical time-series stuff, in effect).
As a side exercise I adapted the TWED distance measure for continuous variables, not just categorical. Time Warp Edit Distance stretches and compresses the time axis to calculate similarity in time-series, allowing recognition of similarity displaced in time (with penalisation).
Here I cluster country-level COVID19 data, specifically per-million daily death rates.
CelloMom On CarsBrilliant metaphor by @andrewdessler on how #climate risk is non-linear:
"You go from zero damage if the water stops half an inch below the front door of your house to tens of thousands of dollars of damage if the water rises one additional inch and flows into your house.
The correct mental model for #ClimateChange is that things are fine until they’re not, at which point they’re really terrible. And the system can go from “fine” to “terrible” in the blink of an eye."
