Full Primary Source Text
This is the weekly visible open thread. Post about anything you want, ask random questions, whatever. ACX has an unofficial subreddit , Discord , and bulletin board , and in-person meetups around the world . 95% of content is free, but for the remaining 5% you can subscribe here . Also: 1: Corrections on links : the pro-Palestine slogan “from the river to the sea” was banned only in Berlin , not all of Germany, and has since been unbanned . And our resident Genealogian critiques the claimed line of descent from Odin to Joe Biden . 2: Nils K, who got an ACX Grant for his study on Bayesian updating and precision weighting, writes: I’m seeking collaborators who have access to a psychology lab and would be willing to help with the data collection for the study. Necessary resources include a student pool, a lab with a decent PC, and somebody willing to do the actual testing. Collaborators should be willing to test at least ten participants, with 8-12 hours of testing time each. Contributors can be credited as co-authors in the paper. If interested, please reach out to n.kraus@phb.de . 3: Thanks to everyone who reminded me to go through the moderation backlog. I’ve permabanned Nika Mavrody , ChrisJ , NS , SyxnFxlm , ChickenFriedSteak , Emmanuel Florac , Jazzme , MarkS , Marty Khan , SunSphere , Cohen The Barbarian , Der Durchwanderer , Purpleopolis , Earl D , asciilifeform , Arnold Fare , Morgan Warstler , Joker Catholic , and BankerAtLarge , and temp-banned Artist Tyrant , Beowulf888 , Russel T Pott for a month each. Please continue to report any comments you think detract from the discussion by clicking the … symbol on the bottom right of the comment, then “Report” on the menu that pops up. 4: Extremely related new rule: all Middle East related discussion on this Open Thread is confined to a Middle East sub-comment-thread here .
