An interview with James Manzi about his new paper
Great work, Justin, this was a very informative interview in a short essay.
I’m surprised the role of the editors of the publications in which this research was published was not mentioned (perhaps it is in the full paper).
As we know, incentives matter. If to be published requires a left bias, well… then left bias is what we shall see.
And we surely have massive evidence that this is true in certain fields: “climate science” springs immediately to mind.
I minored in Sociology (~1990-1992) and remember a particular journal, Society, that offered a good mix of scholarship. I’m wondering if any of its articles were sampled.
