Decoding Academia 24: The Illusion of Moral Decline?
Added 2023-12-15 23:49:57 +0000 UTCIn this bonus episode of Decoding Academia, we take a look at a recent paper 'The Illusion of Moral Decline' by Adam Mastroianni and Daniel Gilbert. They examine if Moral Decline really is an illusion: Are the kids alright or are we on the precipice a Mad Max style free-for-wall? Also covered on this episode: What is a violin plot and why you should pay attention to visualisations. And we finally address the age old and hugely significant controversy of whether you should describe p values using a lowercase or uppercase P. All this and more in this exciting episode.
Oh and as a Christmas gift we thought we would release this for all Patreon tiers. It is just that important!

I’ve been thinking a lot about Bank’s Culture novels recently. Give me the AI version of Plato’s philosopher king!
