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 […]

It happened on a weekend. While representatives of the two nations were still negotiating, a fleet of aircraft carriers from one of the negotiating parties approached the territory of the other.
Acting with cold premeditation, early in the morning of that fateful day, the attacking forces did their deed causing devastating damages on the other side.
As it turned out, the negotiations were merely a cover, a deception, to fool de victims.
It was treachery.
But it worked.

The Doomsday Clock was effective Cold War theatre, but does it fail to convey the threat of today’s slowly unfolding existential crises?
The tendency to think of climate change as something in humanity’s future, as opposed to something that is unfolding now, in real time and with lethal consequences, has retreated a little in recent months.
Superficially, at least, David Rieff seems well placed to write a book about woke culture. For one thing, cultural criticism runs in the family: his parents were Susan Sontag and Philip Rieff – both intellectuals with a keen understanding of how subjectivities are shaped by social change. For another, his own work has often displayed an astute grasp of the fraught relationship between the historical, the political and the psychological.
My sense is that political cartoonists are finding it pretty difficult to encapsulate the events of the last two weeks in our sunburnt country girt by sea.

After weeks of military threats, and despite ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, the US and Israel have combined to rain bombs on cities across Iran.
