A terrible combination of hairshirt parsimony and tall-poppy syndrome.
Canada is a nation of cheapskates. If we can't even up the head of government up in an adequate residence, do we really think we can take on the massive and growing challenges we face?

What does the prime minister's decrepit residence have to do with national decline? More than you think.

Amusing to see Occam's Razor cited for lab leak.

Parsimony would mean defaulting to zoological origin without clear evidence otherwise. That was the path every other time.

Parsimony would also not favor "by coincidence, the place a lab employee first spread it happened to be a wet market."

One less syllable than “white nationalists” so points for parsimony at least.

They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface?

five facts + a theoretical framework explaining each of those five facts typically has less information content than five facts, and it is this parsimony which leads to, e.g., polysemanticity in neural networks
In a mind of fixed size, does learning something require unlearning something else?

Important piece on the role of Ockham's razor in the modern world of scientific modeling in @pnas.org. Conclusion: Complex models can be quite useful, and parsimony and complexity can complement each other in helping us to gain new insights!

Occam's Razor, also known as the principle of parsimony, suggests that when faced with multiple explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest explanation is usually the most accurate.

Parsimony and McClade were gateway drugs, my undergrad mentor hooked me; parsimony was, well, so parsimonious, and you could see it with MacClade. Then she 🤯! Parsimony and likelihood are equivalent when the ML model is parsimony 🎄 🧪 🌱🐋
