That's because mutate() doesn't, well, mutate its argument. It _returns_
its changes, but it doesn't save them in the original variable. It's
your responsibility to assign the result somewhere:

cor_disc |> select(...) |> mutate(...) -> cor_disc_mutated

(Idiomatic R makes it hard to accidentally change the value of the
variable passed to a function from inside of that function. Anything
short of environments, reference class objects and/or non-standard
evaluation will not affect the value outside the function call.)
