^Do you see forcing companies to move their production to the US as being beneficial government involvement? | |

Good question. Is there forcing? I'm not sure I see forcing. What I do see is incentivizing, so I'll address that. |

That's actually a really good tweet. I do think that the whole "free rhetoric" is nonsense but this is usually a result of arguing against it & saying it's not free the taxpayer pays for it results in an image of the rich paying for the poor to go to uni. So why are there no cartoons on the internet of really rich peoples children being funded to go to university by the poor. It's a fairly bullshit concept but feels to me that it works to get the point across, too easily rebutted? I imagine not & even if so I could make some bullshit criteria that says otherwise whilst being persuasive. |

Well you're right, forcing is most likely not a good term, I think that's just how he wants to portray it. Another way to put it might be paying them to invest domestically, that is using tax payer money to incentivize it. Either way, actively intervening in the way markets operate. A lot of it probably is just Trump taking the credit for things that have been in the works for years. | |

Yeah. And some. A reason for a large degree of cheaper production outside of the US is taxes and regulations that increase the cost of US labor. On a side note, this is one reason why the US "immigrant" labor picture is distorted. It operates more on a black market, sidestepping some regulations and taxes, while indigenous laborers tend to not do that, which results in artificially constructed non-competitiveness that harms those following the law. |

I found one instance in which Taleb claims when a system is sufficiently complex, Grandma's Wisdom understands it better than scientific calibration |

Interesting read, but it left me a bit confused. What he talks about are emergent properties of complex systems, and the ways a small intransigent minority can influence outcomes for the whole system. Sounds logical. He doesn't in any way explain what he means by "scientific intuition" or "snap scientific judgment", to me those sound oxymoronic. It kind of seems like that's what he believes scientists criticizing him on his views on GMOs must be doing since they disagree with him. | |

Yeah I think we can safely say that it's not the case with simple cases, where the variables are known and understood. If we limit this to just complex situations that are poorly understood, obviously science more or less breaks down. I'm still a bit hesitant to outright claim that intuition fares better, at least in a consistent way. What grandma says about men is based on her personal preferences and experiences, and can be pretty much anything. Both science and intuition can get things horribly wrong, but with science at least there are checks and balances that should give an idea how reliable the prediction is, whereas with intuition there's none. With all the cognitive biases we have, where science does not have answers I'd rather just admit to not (yet) knowing, rather than trusting intuition, especially with something like public policy. | |

Making sure all students are treated fairly and not discriminated against seems like a top priority to me. Not sure what I expect from the president of the Family Policy Alliance of Kansas. Names like family alliance are synonymous with afraid of changes and things that are different. Equal rights for all as long as you're the same as us. | |

Explain the relevance of EMH here. I'm assuming it's applicable to the Obama's economy statement and not the latter but just wanted to confirm. | |

My problem with all this pride bollocks is that we're all fucking different for lots of different reasons. Two gay men have there sexuality in common. So what? Why is that worth celebrating, though it's not worth me hi fiving other men I see who are also six foot tall? I don't see men with big noses having a festival. | |

Nah it's more of a 4D chess thing. By making himself look like an idiot trying to pass a huge bill with no prep time, and in the process totally embarrassing Trump, he's going to be kicked to the curb, which will make it all the easier to revive his career when Trump gets impeached. At that point, he'll be able to say 'see he never liked me, therefore I'm ok'. | |
