Episode 81 - Trump's Quote And Rocks Float
Listen now
Description
Noam and Jen talk over the newest Trump indictment related to his big plan to fix the 2020 election, the fact that neither he nor anyone in his circle can stop talking, Richard Hanania’s “race realist” past coming back to haunt him, the root problem of the modern conservative movement, and how everyone is cooking up floaty rocks and what it means for the future. Show notes: Hanania’s past as Ricahrd Hoste, exposed (truth be told it’s been known for some time now) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/richard-hanania-white-supremacist-pseudonym-richard-hoste_n_64c93928e4b021e2f295e817 Nate Silver’s piece on p-hacking and how it’s used to skew scientific study results https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/science-isnt-broken/#part1  Editor’s note from Jen - if you’re interested in the topic of p-hacking and the replication crisis, Jesse Singal’s book The Quick Fix looks at these phenomena in the social sciences and how bad / unreplicable studies become the basis for conventional wisdom and policy decisions
