Yes. He’s using a similar method to leverage social media to conduct social science – and he’s non-manipulative in his work, which makes it good science. I use arguments to expose demonstrated behavior via langauge. He uses narrative testimony to do the same. it’s good science. And it’s especially good because it’s accessible science.

In economics we call it ‘slumming’. Meaning living with drug dealers to learn the drug dealer economy and the behavioral economy under it.

I prefer to call it ‘field research’. 😉

Differences I can do mine from a laptop and a coffee shop. He has to find people on the street, convince them he’s sincere and not a threat, build trust, and arrange an interview without breaking that trust.
