Week 6: The theory paper in focus this week is the iconic "Electronic mail game" by @ArielRubinstein. It is characteristic Rubinstein---communicating a big idea with elegant simplicity. It brought into focus failures of common knowledge, by extension failures in coordination.

🚨 Former head of the Wikimedia foundation and current CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher: “The Wikipedians who write these articles aren’t focused on finding the truth. For our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth isn’t the best place to start. Reverence for the truth might have become a bit of distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.” 🤦‍♂️

@DonaldJTrumpJr @60Minutes @CBSNews You think falsely maligning people is wrong? I agree. You and your dad should stop doing it dipshit.

People hide preferences till they don’t. Why? It’s important because preference cascades emanate from tipping points that can create enormous change.

Good intentions that violate economic principles harm people. It’s not enough to have good “ends”, the “means” and the context also matters in a system of ethics. #Economics helps people be more ethical. https://t.co/6LCB6Lmm1a

@patrickrhamey You should check out my forthcoming edited volume from CUP on the Economics of Terrorism that makes your point and offers solutions. Also we have structured our decision analytics concentration to focus on replicable causal models.

@MachineEcon This MAGA infused GOP cocktail of bad ideas will ensure a huge hangover when (if?) Trumpypumpy fever breaks.
