Which jobs will be replaced by AI? Here is a modest proposal.* Replace higher management by AI. Not “management” in the sense of the teamleader who works alongside their colleagues with a bit more responsibility to make decisions and mediate conflicts, maybe not even the HR person who does performance evaluations, but the C […]

While at surface level, #WeirdTok is all fun and games, it also cuts to something deeper about being human.
Why bother with the theories? Because science seeks to understand the world and to explain the experimental facts, and you need theories to do that.

This letter is to inform you that your career aptitude test evaluation is complete. Your recommended career: Bridge Troll.
Here at the Career Aptitude Institute, we evaluate thousands of tests each year from students all over the country. In the entire history of our organization, we have never seen results that so confidently aligned a student with a specific path. Typically, the results yield a mix of career options (civil engineer: 43 percent match; project manager: 28 percent match, etc.). Your results, however, were about as clear as they come. Bridge Troll: 99.98 percent match. This is especially unprecedented, as our computers typically have a 2 percent margin of error.
We understand these results may come as a surprise to you. It is highly likely you weren’t aware that a career like this even existed. While bridge trolling is undoubtedly a niche and undervalued role, rest assured, it is vital to the economic health of any developed nation.
What exactly does a Bridge Troll do, you ask? Job duties include, but aren’t limited to:

The biggest news story of the modern era is being buried right before your eyes.
The period around 1980 was pivotal to the fate of nations. In the West Thatcher and Reagan came to power and finished the destruction of the post-world War II order, setting the West on a new path. This process had been ongoing since 1968, but the form of the new consensus was not clear until […]

Healthy babies, to be specific. Because worldwide, infant and child mortality has fallen greatly; and is still falling; and will almost certainly continue to fall. In premodern societies, meaning pretty much the entire world before 1820 or so, between a fifth and a quarter of all kids died before their first birthday. Then, of the […]
Jamie: Lars, perhaps a useful place to start would be with some introductory comment on what informs your reasoning. Whilst your postings range across many subjects you regularly return to a common theme. Specifically, the use economists make of mathematics to express theory and of analytical statistical techniques to conduct research. What are the key […]

Wendy lit the stove to heat a pot of tomato soup. She turned to grab a wooden spoon and gasped. Two little girls in smocked dresses stood in the doorway.
“Come play with us,” one said.
“I’m making lunch,” Wendy whispered.
“We want you to play with us,” the other girl said. They stared at Wendy. Unblinking. Evil. “Come play Monopoly Junior.”
“Why can’t the two of you play together?” Wendy asked.
“We want to play with you,” they said in unison. “Can we have a snack?”
“I’m literally making lunch!” Wendy sobbed.

Wendy stood outside Room 217. She took the passkey from her pocket and slid it in the lock. Inside, the bathroom door was ajar.
It was in there. She could feel it. She crept in.
There stood a woman: bloated stomach, sagging breasts swaying like ancient cracked punching bags, glassy-eyed, hair dry and wild, pale, lips pulled back in an ugly grimace. Wendy screamed.
It was a mirror. Self-care had fallen to the wayside since Danny was born.
