NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline?

Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s.

What should we make of this?

Lecture 4 - Continuing S & D

#microeconomics #teacheconomics

[Sahan Dissanayake @sahanorg]

Teaching intro micro for the first time after 7 years and thinking of wearing t-shirts for every lecture!

This is from today, Lecture 1.

[Sahan Dissanayake @sahanorg]

Lecture 3 - A bit of Econ history and then supply and demand

So obviously it’s an #invisiblehand t-shirt for today (and I had students read price of deer and beavers from the Wealth if Nations)

Zillow listing to include climate risks in property listings.

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (https://t.co/gNIbWRdqEj), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

[Esha Zaveri @ezaveri]

So great to see this fantastic work by @Eyal_Frank out in Science. The economic and health impacts linked to the loss of biodiversity are substantial— in places where bat populations crashed, farmers sprayed more insecticide and infant mortality spiked

[Sahan Dissanayake @sahanorg]

Thank you @JoeBiden! For leading for so long and for putting country first!
