@yudapearl @eliasbareinboim @analisereal @dwarkesh_sp Scientific discoveries are the result of collective human enterprise. Many weren't due to language; not all involved language. Practice remains our sole criterion for judging discovery; not who can explain it best or write in most eloquent English.

@yudapearl Agree… Combining results from multiple sources requires a clearly defined estimand, which (the definition) is inevitably a function of existing knowledge

@MiTiBennett here’s StableDiffusion response to my prompt ‘generate a logo for an AI start-up in the style of Kurt Vonnegut’ 🥁

here’s the response to my prompt to StableDiffusion3.5 ‘generate an image for YT channel Causality with Boris’ yeah, right 🤪

@PaulNaish78 would love to put this on a wall as a poster in my office 🥁

"Exchangeability" (what a stylistic nightmare 🤭) refers to the simple observation that the proportion of units with the outcome remains the same whether the entire stratum received the treatment or only a portion of it (when stratification reduces outcome occurrence to random variation across units). In other words, if treated, untreated units would show the same outcome probability as treated units.

@MiTiBennett Have you tried a writing couch? You can project text on the ceiling when you're lying on your back. True, you'll have to swap keyboard for a dictation app.

@FinkelUriah oh, great… will DM tmr 🙏

@FinkelUriah yep, that’s the link… thx

@attilacsordas ‘an inhibition of reasoning’

@FinkelUriah 🙏🏻

@ccaballeroh10 @AleksanderMolak @yudapearl “Summarizing the literature to adduce recommendations for clinical practice” means gathering information that may (or may not) inform decision-making—not quite causal epistemology, right?

@FinkelUriah @yudapearl Check this out! My fav causality author, Etsuji Suzuki, talks about types of responses in the preventive exposure scenario, without explicitly naming PNS. Perhaps could help.

@matt_vowels Perhaps Université de Lausanne has institutional access to AJE?

@matt_vowels If you want to see some really crazy stuff, check out my favorite author on causality - Etsuji Suzuki esp, the appendix

@AleksanderMolak Thank you, Aleksander, for your podcasts! A very useful window into the minds of causality scholars. Wish you and your enterprise all the best in 2025!
