Again, this is irrelevant. I find it hard to believe how often I have to repeat this. The Harvard Extension School does not hire tenured professors. You do not become a tenured faculty, let alone an associate professor, at Harvard's FA

As others have pointed out on Twitter, I am not sure who is the victim here; Nidhi Razdan apparently had multiple speaking engagements where she was introduced as Harvard faculty: Example: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Er

"But that's not what she claims in her post." I am not sure how much more clear I can be with you. Nidhi Razdan claimed on Twitter that she was joining the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences as an Associate Professor. The H

I know, and it is irrelevant and misleading. This is what she tweeted in the first place: "After 21 years at NDTV, I am changing direction and moving on. Later this year, I start as an Associate Professor teaching journalism as part of

It may well be true that phishing scams can be easy to fall for, but it is not relevant to this story. Razdan tweeted that she was joining the Harvard's Faculty of Arts & Sciences as an Associate Professor. Regardless of how convin

This is just misleading. Razdan claimed on Twitter that she was joining the Harvard Faculty of Arts, not the Harvard Extension School. Harvard FAS does not have any journalism professors or offer degrees in journalism, and if it did, you wo

Again, I am sorry for being direct, but this does not make sense. If a Venusian man is immortal, then the "axiom" (preposition) that all men are mortal is false. In other words, the issue is not that the preposition "Socrates

No, he is saying that he agrees with the assumptions and the way they are used to construct other propositions, but disagrees with the outcome, and therefore there must be something wrong on a higher level with the logical system itself tha

Thanks Ross for the reply. I believe that this is a misunderstanding of how propositional logic works. If the propositions or axioms that you start with are sound, and if you correctly apply all inference rules, then the propositions that y

I am unconvinced that "first-principles thinking" is the problem here. Surely one can refute the original argument without having to debunk axiomatic logic itself. For example, one could argue something like this: Even though incr

Do you think it's inherently impossible to measure educational outcomes or just difficult with the tools that we today?
