'Sacred Callings' is an innovative #sociological study of cross-national trends in the global #Catholic #priesthood. Based on a comparative-historical analysis of priesthood trends in #Argentina, #Malta, #Nigeria, and the #Philippines, author Brian Conway investigates how significant developments within the Catholic #Church have shaped the evolution of vocations over time.

Why do people always think #technology is the answer to #sociological questions ?

Excellent piece about the importance of #museums as sites of #cultural and #sociological significance, and how they are sites of #research by @ANUResearch's Professor #KylieMessage.

If we let our cultural institutions wither and die, we are eroding research #infrastructure.

One for the #GLAM #GLAMR folks.

The biggest mistake #humanity has made is thinking #technology can solve #sociological problems.

3/3 #Bibliometric maps are great for showing the relative distances between clusters of knowledge but lack deterministic coordinates and emphasize papers over people. Inversely, #sociological maps focus on individuals in a deterministic system of social variables but poorly capture the intellectual content of science. We reconcile these approaches by focusing on researchers primarily as knowledge producers and thereby trace the relationships between epistemic and social dimensions of science.

"...periods of change, #imperial transition, and in post-imperial orders.

Rather than suggesting grand syntheses or highly sheltered micro-analyses, projects should start from an intermediary level of investigation...

We also expect a fruitful combination of #historical, #politological and #sociological approaches to #empires and those developed in cultural and literary studies. The projects of the #RTG together are expected to demonstrate the extent to which..."

Interesting #research, though the results are not surprising, seeing that they track with the #sociological #data over the past half decade+.

@berkes Hey thanks for replying. The problem I am referring to is not technical, it is #sociological.

Any algorithmic message scoring & distribution system implemented on the server leads to #gamification of communication. There is no ”fair” way to do it, as humans are not stupid and will try to game any system to their advantage.

The late 2010’s showed ample evidence this leads to outsized influence of the vile & cunning on public forums.

One of the most typical narratives in #philosophical / #sociological texts in #Japanese is to be cynical and ironical against the free society: even if you think you lived freely, your life style has been set up for the sake of the capitalism which exploits your freedom by tricking you into believing you were free.

This type of cynicism is seen so broadly that it plagues any narratives which try to be constructive to propose a principle for fixing the actual problems of the society.

> since they do not relate to #LLM but to consequences of #sociological #phenomena.

To me for now the answer is ‘nope, #LLM can’t fool some into believing it ‘understands’, but it doesn’t. It’s getting better in statistics that allow it to spit out seemingly ‘right’ fragments of text scraped, classified for the task of text completion after given a prompt.’
