@Queemdius @a_sarentorbic You bring up an important point, the history of statistics cannot be told without a causal perspective, and the same can be said about AI. If this is true, then the history of statistics cannot be told by a statistician - I hope Stephen Stigler agrees!

@stephensenn @learnfromerror "Something must be wrong" may go both ways. Chemistry did not tell Alchemists how to turn lead into gold, but that does not mean that something is wrong with chemistry. ["The Sceptical Chymist" Robert Boyle, 1661] https://t.co/94mNwWONe8

The Journal Observational Studies has just published interviews with 4 causal inference contributors, Don Rubin, Jamie Robins, James Heckman, and humble me. Here's a link to my interview: https://t.co/484NRgdxFa The other 3 can be found via Obs. Studies. Ian Schrier is moderating

@erichorvitz The guy is changing his mind. Look what he tells me: 📷 The term "Bayesian network" was first published in the paper "Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems: Networks of Plausible Inference" by Judea Pearl in 1988. Doubly wrong: (1) It's a book, (2) 3 yrs too late.

Sad to learn the passing of Saul Kripke, a brilliant philosopher. I once tried to interest him in the necessity of causation, but he insisted on "Naming and Necessity". A loss to philosophy and to history of ideas. https://t.co/cMdWEzCWQ4

It's a great honor to be on a Reading List next to Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and to imagine that readers, like that lady in the photo, can enjoy the summer breeze through your words and thoughts. #Bookofwhy https://t.co/9QQNyzrVtj

It's a great historical page by @Martin_Kramer , to which I can only add that for us, who grew up in pre-State Israel, the name was as natural as mother milk; we had no doubt, nor a second thought that we are FROM ERETZ ISRAEL, what else? https://t.co/B7VxyDUsta

Sharing @bariweiss conversation with Daniel Gordis https://t.co/2RgIlYedOw, which I've found to be just the right thoughts with which to celebrate Israel's 75th anniversary.
