@TheRickWilson Yeah, forcing out Democratic challengers to Joe Biden worked our real well for you, didn’t it?
Donald Trump should give you all an MVP award.
How about next time letting all the candidates run and letting the voters choose?

@cesifoti I wonder if this kind of technique could be used to get estimates for Economic Complexity data for 18th, 19th and early 20th Century. If so, then this could really increase our knowledge of how nations industrialized.

[Michael Magoon @MichaelLMagoon]

@cesifoti This looks awesome. This is exactly the kind of data that Progress Studies needs. Thanks so much for doing all the hard work to get this done.

[Michael Magoon @MichaelLMagoon]

@StatisticUrban Nice map. It would be great to view this by metro area.

[Michael Magoon @MichaelLMagoon]

@cesifoti I just read the entire doc. I have been following your work for many years, and your narrative rings true. For whatever it is worth, I always knew that you were the creative genius in your collaboration.
I hope that justice prevails…

@arpitrage @ModeledBehavior @varma_ashwin97 @timobres Very interesting. What part of the census data did this come from?
I would love to get the data for other years.

There are many Substacks that write about progress - an antidote to doomscrolling-induced depression and learned helplessness & the resulting fatalism, cynicism, & sometimes radicalism. https://t.co/CPhFqGXflW

[Michael Magoon @MichaelLMagoon]

@mattyglesias Yes, that is exactly what it means.

Attention, all skeptics of progress!
Are you up for the challenge to debate Progress? Do you know anyone else who is?

@FreeBlckThought That is about the only intelligent thing that she ever said (and she is completely clueless as to why).

Been focusing on SubStack and YouTube lately, so I have not made many posts.
On Substack I have been posting a number of excerpts from both my books. Check them out!
