Spoiler alert: it's better to have a good theoretical understanding and design appropriate statistical models than it is to throw zillions of superficially "okay, fine" models at a poorly specified (and often deliberately vague) target.

A bit of good thinking >>> lots of poor thinking.

Shocking!

The second and third most read papers in the journal Evolutionary Human Sciences are about pseudoscientific racism and the pseudoscientific sexism of the manosphere. Good to see these critical perspectives about the misuse of science being widely read

"a narrow focus on gross fertility measures provides a potentially misleading picture of demographic change. Our analysis of 236 countries from 1950-2023 reveals that when mortality is incorporated through net reproduction measures, our understanding of global fertility changes dramatically"
