  1. "Every single new apartment we build will sit empty indefinitely" is a remarkably common belief.

  2. OK, I did have the right one. Dang, was really hoping for an explanation of the reversed treatment effect.

  3. I'm doing a study where Kansas City is one of nine cities to receive treatment. While most of the cities see an effect in the hypothesized direction, KC does not. Trump: Tweets about wrong Kansas City. Me: Oh, I should really make sure I have the right one. Thanks Trump..?

    A great tragedy of education is that it fails to recognize that life is short and that time spent learning irrelevant material is time taken away from helping to develop passions and talents. Beyond a basic foundation of human knowledge, individual development matters more.

    Headline: "Outrageous thing!" Person 1: "That's outrageous!" Person 2: "If you had read the article, you would have seen that it actually says the opposite of the headline." Why do headline writers do this to us? Why must we have this conversation every day?

    The absence of salt doesn't taste like anything. It just makes other tastes worse. It's like taking a beautiful photograph and turning the saturation and contrast way down.

    Most people are good at recognizing the taste of over-salted food, but they struggle to recognize the taste of under-salted foods. Consequently, many people chronically under-salt their meals.

    Private sector: Works on RPG logic. You work for a bit then level up. Then you get more loot and experience until you level up again. Academia: "Sorry adventurer. Due to your middling performance in the tutorial, you can never be a Paladin."

    This bears repeating: PhDs who end up working outside the academy (for whatever reason) are not failures. The academy has no monopoly on great and important work. There are great success to be had in other sectors. Enough already with the professional elitism.

    When The Simpsons started, I was younger than Maggie. Now I'm older than Mr. Burns. Time flies!

    This primarily theoretical paper shows that the optimal size of city is different from the perspective of incumbent residents than it is from the perspective of society in general. Could this explain all of NIMBY politics?

    I just realized that I've been mistakenly classifying "Daytona" as a treated city when it's supposed to be "Dayton."

    TRUMP VS YANG: if the 2020 race comes down to Trump vs. Yang, how will you vote? 3P/NV stands for "third party/not vote" and is meant to encompass all deliberate options that neither voting for Trump nor Yang. Please RT--want to compare results to Bernie and Warren polls. Thanks!
