march 2022

it’s approximately mid-march and life is so busy but the research is progressing nicely and the weather is getting warmer. currently working on applying control variates to my model and reviewing the literature in between running code. but really, all I do is sit in quiet coffee shops and stare at my computer screen.

sir, why are you still here? this place is a wasteland, what do you stand to gain by staying on this hellsite?

Absolutely nothing. That's its appeal.

spent most of yesterday working on a five page critical analysis of the world economic forum’s great reset initiative for my extremely biased anti-masker anti-vaxx professor. at least he said “agreeing with the professor is not a requirement on this assignment” so we’ll see if his grading sticks to that, because I definitely did NOT agree with most of his takes. today will be spent doing lots of management readings.

“I have graded more than 500 undergraduate papers about why Plato is an idiot and no one would ever behave in the Republic the way he has the people behave in the Republic. I have graded maybe 15 brilliant undergraduate papers about why Plato thought people would behave that way in the Republic, and the differences between Plato’s worldview and Plato’s psychology and our own, and why he thinks this thing that to us seems wrong.

That to me is the much harder kind of critical thinking, the empathetic kind of critical thinking that doesn’t criticize but reads carefully, critically, prudently and with empathy and connection to try to understand the other side, which I think is something that doesn’t just apply to the academic world, doesn’t just apply to how we write a paper in a class. It applies to how we read a blog post, how we judge a New York Times article, how we evaluate when someone has posted something on Twitter that they want us to hate or like to hate, as Twitter often is, whether the empathetic reading, which is the really challenging critical element, is there.”
