We in the US are living in a eugenic modernity, by the way, when the putative head of "Health and Human Services" is making the kinds of statements he makes about autistic people. This is not just an anti-vaccination meme; it's an attempt to subordinate an entire class of people, suggesting they are subhuman for being who they are. This is a eugenic move. One has to wonder whether the "human services" people in HHS imagine themselves providing has to do with "improving the human stock" of the nation, the services not being provided to humans but instead with humans as an output.

Rather than get mired in the thought-terminating arguments around political parties or political factions, though, I think we'd do well to reflect on what sorts of other ways of thinking feed into this one: the measured life; standardized testing; the internet of things (sensors); tracking apps of various kinds; electronic health records; data science as a profession and Big Data generally; predictive modeling; generative AI and other optimization-oriented or productivity-promising technology. All of these function to render life as an object of knowledge in one way or another. All of them trace their origins through eugenics and the patterns of thought that led to it, and all of them threaten to enable and enhance further eugenic thinking. This is not to say these things are always all bad; this is meant to be a reflection on what exactly they're for.

Why read the number of steps your FitBit told you you took today, unless there was some sense in which you want your future self to be better than your present self? It's not an accident that this is called "physical fitness", "fitness" being the Darwinian word for which organisms should survive. Why subject children to standardized testing unless there were some belief it made them better students? To what end tends to be left out. Why adopt a technology meant to improve productivity, unless you're of the belief that improvement/optimization were even possible?

Generally speaking, if one is able to bring oneself to believe that a human being is made better by a data-informed technical intervention, isn't one playing the same game as these anti-autism anti-vaxxers, just with different terminology? If your answer to this provocation is that your data is better than his or that you're more aligned with reality than he is--some variation of "the science is on our side"--you've ceded the territory: this is more of the same optimization logic that brought us to this point to begin with. I think we have no choice but to do better than this.

That's my reflection anyway.

“The #LiberalParty has accidentally left part of its email provider’s #subscriber details exposed, revealing the types of #data harvested by the party during the #election campaign.

This gives rare #insight into some of the specific kinds of data the party is keeping on voters, including whether they are “predicted Chinese”, “predicted Jewish”, a “strong Liberal” and other #PersonalInformation.”

@khinsen

Thanks for your work on a tooling for "the art of doing science", and for going to great length for making it accessible to others. I'll give it a try!

A humble suggestion: since you're writing about your work on a social media without any automated relevance rating and with limited search features, it's advisable to use a salient picture, and hashtags, e.g., the ones below.

📢 Public service announcement for #rstats users and learners working with geographic data: Geocomputation with R's Binder link is working again 🎉🎉You can give it a spin at r.geocompx.org/ and then clicking on the "Binder" link. This will create an isolated instance of RStudio Server in your browser, meaning you can test things with no barrier to entry or installation time. Also great for live demos and teaching #DataScience #geocompx
