They also decry Harvard's imposition of identity markers on Jews. But, for example, if I had a dollar for every time I've seen a gentile delineate what is or isn't antisemitism in the last 18 months or so... I'd have a lot of dollars.

It's an Uno reverse: opponents of Israel regularly, tokenistically and ostentatiously fete the small minority of Jews that are anti-Zionist as 'the good kind of Jews'; the article deceptively inflates the opposite scenario.

I have close relatives in Israel who definitely hate Netanyahu more than anyone reading this right now, guaranteed. I support and celebrate Israel's right to exist; beyond that nothing's off the table.

Overall this article is disingenuous and dissembling though.

Basically. It's weaponised resentment (directly on the right, at one order of remove on the left) in the service of kleptocratic enrichment. So far it's working.

Bring on the clever seppos! 🤓

Alas I genuinely worry that, for at least some in the administration, that is the active plan 😔

Once as a kid I trapped a moth in a soap container, then put it in a drawer and forgot about it (I know, I'm sorry).

About a year later I found it, opened it, and it flew out and on its merry way.

Sounds great, look forward to it! 😊

As in this paper:

So for example in the Herda paper you cite, the average country-level proportional overestimation is more than double the real proportion; but the *correlation* between the two is strong: 0.84. Is it that people just struggle with estimating %s?

Really interesting finding, thanks for sharing, and a super interesting topic more broadly. Did you consider the issue of systematic biases in quantity estimation, dependent on the unit of measurement, as a possible explanation of discrepancies between perception and reality as well? (cont.)
