Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue.  It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion - Oscar WildeThe Soul of Man under Socialism.

Jeg forventer dog ikke, at vi i morgen vågner op til et socialistisk London, hvor alle “uromagerne” er kunstnere. Men det er et sejt citat med så mange fejltagne, implicitte antagelser, at man kun kan være fan.

Stata is to the iPhone as R is to Android, as far as social science data analysis goes. I guess SAS would be BlackBerry, insofar as it’s dated and propped up by a strong lock-in among government employees. And SPSS is a Nokia phone that has a slick interface for dialing your friends but requires you to push dozens of extra buttons in a non-intuitive sequence if you want to call anyone new.

Et af de sjoveste blogindlæg længe kan findes ovre på Duck of Minerva. Det handler om post-positivister post-strukturalister post-modernister europæiske akademikere.

It is not clear to North American political scientists why critical theorists are so critical considering that they live in Europe. It might be because European political scientists are all unemployed. This is because the only thing that Europe likes better than post-positivism is producing thousands of post-positivist political scientists without creating the academic positions to match. On the plus side, they still receive health care. And the coffee is better.

Hele indlægget er godt, så læs det hele. Det er ikke så langt.
