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.5 replies 3 retweets 122 likes -
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.
