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 fac…

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: …

"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 …

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 a…

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 …

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, th…

Let me just add to this. Discovering new information (or new "axioms") will not change the truth of your previous conclusions if you did everything correctly, but you may find that…

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 somethin…

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 corre…

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…

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

Twitter handles are worth a lot of money and hackers have spent much effort to steal them. See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/how-i... https://arstechnica.c…
