🧵 What is "Ginger Rogers science"
Anonymous at Sun, 27 Oct 2024 19:12:12 UTC No. 16452584
You may have heard of the study published in PNAS in 2020 concluding that Black newborns have higher survival rates when Black doctors attend to them.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.107
It got a huge amount of coverage in the popular press. It was even cited by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in her dissent last year on the court’s ruling against racial preferences in college admissions. The newborn research, Brown Jackson claimed, shows the benefits of diversity. “It saves lives,” she wrote.
The same journal just published a reanalysis of the data.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn
It turns out that the effect disappears once you take into account that Black doctors are less likely to see the higher-risk population of newborns that have low birth weight.
It’s like what someone once said about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire: They’re both going through all the same moves, but Ginger Rogers is doing them backward and in high heels. A published finding that clashes with the political prejudices of reviewers and editors is a Ginger Rogers Finding. It had to be twice as good.

social sciences have astronomically less merit than people assume it has and for every study you find that shows X proves Y, there's inherently a million confounding variables that get shoved under the rug and undermined by the author's biases. Every branch of science is guilty of this, but the more applied the branch the more infested with assumptions it gets. The ideological capturing of academia has made this problem increasingly worse

humans are fickle creatures who salivate at a good story. The western world has become so pampered that we must use such stories to create nonexistent problems against which to "fight the good fight"
>"Them doctors AREN'T racist?"
that does not make for a good story. This article correction will never make the news and will quietly sink to obscurity or the slums of internet spaces like here. The west has fallen so far that a sitting US Supreme Court justice writes her opinions based on blatantly false information.

Why are black doctors are less likely to see the higher-risk patients? Why aren't black doctors competent enough to handle the tough cases?

that lame feminist mischaracterization could only come from someone who never watched any of their movies or knows the first thing about dancing. if you've seen any of the famous fred and ginger routines then you know that fred was doing all the heavy lifting between the duo all the big moves and he was moving backwards as often as she was and usually moving his feet twice as fast too. anyone who knows anything about dancing knows that dancing lead is always twice as difficult as following, thats why men lead and women follow

Bezos seems like he is getting ready to hold his employees at least somewhat accountable. He is probably getting tired of them losing $100 million a year of his money.

He is probably also smart enough to realize that if all of the old establishment newspapers are massively liberal and he has the sole conservative outlet then he is going to capture half of newspaper audience while the liberals will have to divide the other half amongst themselves.

He doesn't think about the post as 'losing $100 million a year'
He considers that he is spending $100 million a year to advertise his other businesses services to government officials, all of whom read the post every morning. Amazon has tens of billions of dollars worth of government contracts

He doesn't care about that amount, he is preparing the alter his propaganda outlet to curry favor with the incoming administration because he doesn't want to get cut out of lucrative future government contracts

exchanging his left leaning jewish editors for right leaning ones won't change anything. its not about liberal or conservative, its about race. he need to start hiring whites and firing everyone else. if he does that then his newspaper will be good and he will stop losing so much money on it

I just read the new article and was disappointed not to find the reason for this particular disparity.
