A friend of mine once remarked that if some people asserted the earth rotated from East-West and others from West-East, there would always be a few well-meaning people to suggest that the truth probably lay between the extremes or did not rotate at all. - via Paul Meehl

These “we did a trial run of UBI and all the statistics show that it really helped in every way, now the trial is over and we’ll do nothing with that info” tests are really starting to feel like those Flat Earthers proving the earth is a globe with science and then ignoring their own findings videos

Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income. Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs. "It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

After careful consideration, the FDA advisory comission voted today 9:2 that MDMA has *not* been shown to be effective for treating PTSD, given massive concerns around validity threats in this literature. They also voted 10:1 that MDMA benefits do *not* outweigh harms. 🧪 #PsychPsySky

I've decided that I'm going to be a bore about this.

A natural basic income experiment began in the mid-1990s and how the kids — now in their 30s and 40s — are doing is incredible. As adults, they have fewer drug problems and their average IQ is higher. By age 26, the benefits of the UBI exceeded its cost by 3-to-1. academicminute.org/2014/06/jane...

Had a fun time talking about causal inference today at the academy of the Max Planck School of Cognition (slides: osf.io/43sn7). Lots of good questions from the students about what all of this means for how we do research and communicate results.>
