      Daniel W. Drezner Retweeted Eric Weinstein

      I do apologize if I used "thought leader" as a shorthand. The fuller explanation of what I meant is here: https://www.amazon.com/Ideas-Industry-Pessimists-Transforming-Marketplace/dp/0190264608 …https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/994990051783204864 …

      "all these thinkers can do is appease their followers. They are thought leaders who cannot demonstrate any leadership." -@dandrezner Nice to meet you Dan. But that "take" comes from where exactly? Research? Personal interaction? You left me confused because it didn't make sense.

      Replying to @dandrezner

      Dan I appreciate the 'apology' in a tweet. But 1st of all, I don't understand it (without buying your book!!). 2nd, what you said in what you published in the @washingtonpost was high visibility, and, so far as I can tell, based on a gut feeling contradicted by topical research.

      Simple question: how do you feel so confident that you know enough to reach such sweeping & dismissive conclusions so quickly that you *want* to publish in the highest visibility media? You're confident on telomeres, chained COLAs, Russell conjugation & psychometrics? Seriously?

      Replying to @EricRWeinstein @washingtonpost

      Good morning, Eric! So I’ve read up on a few of your notions (four quadrants, anthropoid capitalism, Russell conjugation) and I have some thoughts, but my basic conclusion is simple: what’s true (which is a lot) isn’t new and what’s new isn’t true.

      Weinstein’s Coasian immigration approach is new and, imo, correct. I know it’s new because I independently came up with the same basic proposal a few years ago and the economists I’ve run it by think it’s weird but not specifically wrong.
