An economist with a deep appreciation for both order and the absurd. Centered on money & macro, but liable to stray to distant topics in any direction.

    Inspired by the replies to this tweet and realizing I'm very far from the only person whose dream-flying mechanics came from a Nintendo game.

    So who's doing interesting cog sci of dreams, or did we give up on that after Freud and Jung?

    Over-nuance is at least as common a problem in public discourse as under-nuance. It's just as easy to convince someone of a simple argument as to innoculate against it by saying "it's not that simple!" Mostly depends on which way they already wanted to be convinced.

    I'd venture to say that simply being able to reconcile these two stands, falling to neither side, gets you 90% of the way to a good social-scientific method.

    Tangentially, one thing that makes the Austrian tradition so compelling is that it's able both to stand against the neoclassicals to say "No! Contextual knowledge matters!" AND to stand against the institutionalists to say "No! Generalizable knowledge DOES exist!"

    Thought-provoking meditation on knowledge of the particular circumstances of time and place; 'indexical' (as opposed to global) knowledge.

    What's up with social media pages for drugs universally having zero information on what the drug is supposed to be *for* How is anyone supposed to respond to a drug ad if they can't figure out what it's for?

    Another example of the Simmel hypothesis: that the money economy replaces a whole panoply of coordinating mechanisms, which – now free from the burden of coordination – are free to develop according to their own internal logic.

    This seems the ethical analog to the jurisprudential maxim that "hard cases make bad law."

    How's this for a hot moral philosophy take: moral realism is functionally immoral because in its drive for articulation, it encourages fixation on edge cases that good people ought not consider too deeply.

    Why? Because the viability of moral rules – and therefore of human society – depends on ignoring their edge cases, the ineradicable opportunities for exploiting or Goodharting them.

    Despite being wrapped in the language of moral realism, this argument seems basically right: fixating on the edge cases of moral rules makes you a worse person.

    "What language comprehension is really about is not prediction but interpretation." Good counterpoint to a lot of recent hubbub around what progress in AI would look like.

    it's cute how this dystopian thought experiment is premised on the utopian penology premise that we can solve crime through deterrence or rehabilitation rather than accepting the dystopian reality that the actual main function of prisons is incapacitation

    Sometimes I have similar worries, but Hicks' pessimism here seems to just be due to the fact that the quantity of money doesn't enter into his conceptual apparatus, so the price level can just do whatever.
