I have no plan of moving to NYC or London. This country has to work.

I don't think econometricians write for other economists though.

[Abhijit Tagade @atagade1]

It seems to me we need both types: broad stroke economics that illustrates phenomena and provides explanations, and an axiomatic approach à la Bourbaki that provides long term foundations that serve as a bedrock to build on. As a profession, we waver somewhere in between. 1/

the biggest comeback is feeling like yourself again

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

We all need to read and keep reading. Especially history, sociology, philosophy with focus on political philosophy, and liberation literature/poetry. Because it's very obvious some of us do not read but want to argue here all day when we don't even have a grasp of the basics

Philip Kgosana after his escape from South Africa, April 1961. On 30 March 1960, while studying towards a degree in Economics at UCT, he led a demonstration in which 30 000 protestors opposing the pass laws marched from Langa to Cape Town, one of the largest anti - apartheid demonstrations to take place in South Africa.

Today, I found a cool collection of essays on Nietzsche from the late 1970s

[essentialsalts @untimelysalts]

After re-reading book V of The Gay Science, I just wanted to say that Nietzsche is a really good writer.

Accidentally cited a sociology paper in my literature review, so they took away my economist card.
