      GMU is not a super high ranked program and he is rejecting someone's argument on the basis of their having gone to school there meanwhile he is not even graduated from CUNY which is a total nonentity and UMASS econ is a laughingstock best known for its unreformed marxists

      This is less about GMU’s rank and more about all the hacks they employ

      In a way this community basically grew out of GMU econ Whats your specific objection? Book/blog publications? Overall I think their output is vastly better than most departments, heavy caveats of course

      They’re hurt a lot by their most public figures being people like Hanson: https://twitter.com/khicksefficient/status/1247598121397387266?s=21 …https://twitter.com/KHicksEfficient/status/1247598121397387266 …

      His very first citation for evidence is a completely unscientific Twitter poll that he ran himself. Hanson should stop pontificating on issues he doesn’t understand.

      but Hanson is probably one of the better living economists if I had to pick an heir to the spirit of Becker it'd be him

      .....Hanson really is not that respected in economics. That tweet thread should really demonstrate why. It’s a bizarrely anti-intellectual position for a professor to hold.

      He wants to host debates on strategies on combatting an epidemic without inviting or speaking to any epidemiologists, and then makes the claim that contacting experts is just impossible for him to accomplish.

      It’s dishonest on its face. It’s a rejection of the entire principle of academic rigor, because he refuses to engage with adults in the room. It’s a common “rationalist” failing, the idea you can first principles yourself to all knowledge if you’re smart and think hard about it

          Hunch is that as with most fields epidemiology has some great people dispersed throughout a matrix of dead minds :/
