I want to take you back, for a moment, to 2020. We are at the beginning of the pandemic and many of us are working remotely. I don't remember this time particularly fondly--this was pre COVID-19 vaccines, and there was a lot of rhetoric around how the virus had come from China. 🧵

The Report of Stereotype Threat's Demise Has Been Greatly Exaggerated And why I'm feeling a certain way about it

Today Dominic Packer & @jayvanbavel.bsky.social republished @minzlicht.bsky.social's post about "The Downfall of Stereotype Threat" in their widely-read The Power Of Us newsletter. I felt a certain way about that & the evidence presented there & thought I'd respond:

Also, no, i don't want to celebrate Botstein in case that is not clear. Bard needs a new president.

"We regret to inform you that the Bard Gala has been postponed. We appreciate your understanding and continued support for Bard."

Bro, I wasn't even gonna go. And even if I wanted to, I can't afford that shit. Clearly the gala to celebrate Botstein wasn't meant for the alumni.

This isn't scholarship—it's mimicry.
Not science—a performance.

When the "writer" understands syntactic patterns but not the underlying meaning, the product loses its soul. Sure, it's in APA format. But under the hood? Slop.

Scientific writing isn't just ritual. It's where true creativity resides.
