She told me she’d be ten minutes late, which was fine. But when it was nearly twenty minutes I messaged – where are you? Shall I walk towards you? My daughter sent a picture of a bit of the state library she was in, people at desks etc. We’re here, is this where you are? […]

Men, guys, dudes, rejoice! After much research and testing, we have found the cure to the cursed male loneliness epidemic that is sweeping our country and our op-ed sections. We know you feel isolated. We know you can’t talk about your emotions. We know you’re looking for male role models in all the wrong YouTube algorithms. But fear not. We have found the solution to all your problems: doing outlandish science projects to prove or disprove commonplace myths.
Men these days are reverting to masculine ideals from yesteryear. They think real men have to be strong, tough, and misogynistic. Listen, boys, you don’t need big muscles, you don’t need creatine powder, and you certainly don’t need to get surgery to gain an extra few inches of height because you’d rather have metal implants in your legs than be 5′4″. All you really need is a curious mind, a pure heart, and military-level access to high-powered explosives. And also a seemingly endless supply of crash-test dummies.

I am stuck in London courtesy of the terrorist policies of Donald Trump and his Israeli gang mates. I arrived at Heathrow on Saturday expecting to be home by last evening only to learn that all flights via Doha were indefinitely suspended. Big problem. I was lucky to find a hotel room at the airport…
These problems are like distant locations that you would hike to. And in the past, you would have to go on a journey. You can lay down trail markers that other people could follow, and you could make maps. AI tools are like taking a helicopter to drop you off at the site. You miss […]
We have some thoughts on the latest round of Doctor Who Christmas Special rumours: David Tennant, Billie Piper, filming schedules, and more.
Despite the pervasive uncertainties surrounding their assumptions, economic modellers frequently confine their expressions of uncertainty to those generated from within the very assumptions they have chosen to embed in their models — thereby creating a false sense of precision while ignoring deeper sources of ignorance. Econometrics offers a series of cautionary tales in which highly […]
Neoclassical economics is known for its illicit use of garbled language which hides and convolutes instead of explains … An interesting example is the chapter by Edward Prescott, titled ‘RBC Methodology and the Development of Aggregate Economic Theory’. Let’s first give the floor to him, mind that ‘leisure’ means ‘measured unemployment’: “What turned out to […]
