Are you thinking in terms of…effect heterogeneity? Because I think there are massive positive average effects for things like “keeping in mind 1st year students can’t know this” or “considering the possibility that students may have forgotten content from five weeks ago”

It reminds me of some professors who were *horrible* teachers, which really just made their lives harder, but putting yourselves into your students’ shoes weakens the status distinction.

One thing that really resonated with me was the observation that high status people may be reluctant to take into consideration their “inferiors’” viewpoints, even if it actually puts them at a strategic disadvantage.>

Does a very good job dispelling the notion that game theory necessarily ignores all social context and thus gets things completely wrong. Highly recommended for people who like weird cross-over episodes.

There are lots of interesting insights in here and some very nice conclusions regarding the relationship between the world and how it’s broken down in mathematical game theory.>

Just finished Chwe’s “Jane Austen, Game Theorist) (h/t @scientificdiscovery.dev) which I very much enjoyed. The book explains how Austen essentially teaches game theory in her novels.>

Very good, although this almost seems like a way to describe a new torture device with the help of IRT. Which in turn reminds me that fitting a large piece of paper through a swarm of bees is just like running multiple regression!

An example in which substantive knowledge tells us all 3 types of effects exist: legwear.
Clear age effects (rompers go down); clear period effect (barely any 70s jeans anymore); clear cohort effects (I like my jeans longer than my students bc that's how we wore them back when I was that age).>

‘Globally, cold deaths are 9 times higher than heat-related ones. In no region is this ratio less than 3, and in many, it’s over 10 times higher. Cold is more deadly than heat, even in the hottest parts of the world.’

“Skeet”, now that’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time 😂 yes, if the information is recorded multiple times, that definitely makes sense. Not sure it’s the case here, but even then I feel it would be a nice service to have a download containing more than one file.>

I have been informed that the "background information" data that is spread out over 200 files has not been harmonized for this one.
Seriously makes me appreciate what the German Institute of Economic Research is doing with the SOEP. Sure, it's messy, but you don't have to play Tetris at least.

There's a special sense of humor in maintaining a panel with "longitudinal" in the name but making it impossible for users to download data from more than one time point at once.

Tip:
We aren't comparing the effect of the treatment (tx) to the effect of placebo.
We are *defining* the effect as the *difference* in outcome between those allocated to standard of care (SoC) + tx to those allocated to SoC + placebo, where placebo is used for blinding.

It's one of those things where the standard operating mode is "just math your way out of it" when maybe it would be more fruitful to take a step back and ponder what's the estimand of interest. But nobody in psych has been trained for that 😭

I think the proper solution would be to realize "why does it bother me when the number is always high", and then conclude something like "actually, I want to know whether A being agreeable has an effect on B rating A as agreeable.">

Followed by the insight "oh this number will usually be high because ppl describe ppl similarly", so then you're trying to tweak the measure so that it no longer counts that as similarity, and you end up in a messy place.>
