    Credit bubble, you say? The dominant economic formalism fetishizes expected returns. Optimize -> borrow all you can -> credit bubble -> blow-up. But don't say you got this from us. We're "cranks" suffering from the "scientific illness" to consider what happens as time passes.

  10. This is fascinating. I have often wondered whether online decision-making, by standardising the decision-making environment, makes collective decision-making - and hence markets - worse. .

    It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our very own Chas Hodges. Despite receiving successful treatment for oesophageal cancer recently, Chas suffered organ failure and passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of this morning.

  13. Not entirely. I am sure that is how the business case was made, because that's how every bloody business case is made nowadays, but the real value lies elsewhere.

    A conference in Romania where I was going to speak just cancelled the event. I'd hate to cancel my tickets to Bucharest. Anyone there like a talk, speech, or workshop during the second week of October?

    Yes. You’ll get logical answers. That might work well in some situations (eg. engineering), but not in others where traditional logic might not reach the optimal answer. I’d argue there are more challenges we face nowadays where “illogical” answers have something to offer.
