Economic growth and development becomes much more cooler and awe inspiring when you think of it less as "line goes up" and more as "increasing productive power of the species".
I think the US can break it in about 10-15 years. This is just based on a high-level observation that one can break technological domination of a field in roughly 1/3 - 1/2 the time it took to originally establish it, and it took about 30 years for China to reach this point from…
Immigration enforcement used to be monitor the white hipsters, make sure they don’t OD and die, and make sure Myanmar workers don’t take jobs from locals. State capacity to monitor anything China-related is “lacking”. It’s an embarrassment.
It’s actually embarrassing for Thailand that happens, Thailand’s immigration enforcement actually accepts bribes and looks the other way on this, even though many of these industrial investments are conditioned on Thai employment and employment for the locals. Thailand…
Lots of Chinese workers doing low-skill factory work in Thailand as well even though wages have supposedly raced ahead and living costs in industrial regions in Thailand are much higher than rural China. It’s a strange phenomenon that I find difficult to reconcile.
That Indonesia needs 30,000+ migrant workers from China to help to mine its nickel says things about both the Chinese and Indonesian economies, both charitable and uncharitable. For China, it shows just how varied and hungry its workforce is, but also the extent of the…
C.V. Raman was an extraordinary mind but history has seen several others of equal or even greater brilliance. Ramanujan is in a different league. He would rank among the ten greatest intellects in human history, belonging to the same league as Jacobi, Leibniz, and Newton.
Ramanujan is over-romanticised in India, his religiosity mythologised into genius. CV Raman, just a year younger and from the same background, cleared civil services to feed his family, did physics at night, and built Indian science from scratch. Ramanujan prayed; Raman planned.…
Claire you look lovely and gorgeous but what you said isn't entirely true. It is true that people's collagen levels on average start dropping at around 30 but it's a pretty slow drop at first and the rate at which they drop is somewhat variable from person due to differences
If you have kids in your 20s before your collagen drops nothing bad happens. This is me after 2 babies (in my 30s.) Scaring women is only going to make them wait longer which is not ideal from a body-perspective.

Extensively explored the beautiful Campus. Perhaps not the best usage of real estate tho. Met @mihir_keshari. Sadly, @Jayvtweets wasn't available. Will eat more of the mangsho JNU has to offer ( pic of nilgai is on an unrelated note )— have to try the kathi rolls they serve.
Widespread discontent can’t be hidden by definition, because it’s widespread. No one who follows Chinese media or were in China were surprised by the Covid protests because everyone was seeing discontent about ZCP everyday for months. It was in fact all over Chinese social media.
Your argument makes sense, but it circumvents my point: you don't know whether there is widespread discontent. The system of made to hide it. As example: In my eyes, China's public animated COVID protests and Xi suddenly giving in to their demands was very surprising.
The Afghans 100% chose the timing of this border skirmish to align with their foreign minister being in India & meeting with everyone from high level government officials to the Deobandi Ulema. Pretty obvious message being sent to Pakistan.
Also, criticizing economics because it uses abstract math is a criticism of the ghost of an economics profession that died in the early 1990s. If one wanted to do serious criticism of modern economics then the first thing they would do would be to criticize the now extreme…
A lot of the anti-economics movement is just people who couldn't do the math in econ class and got mad about it
I got hooked into economics after reading some undergrad textbooks in the 9th grade. Just 20 years later I got my first article published. You can just do things.
I didn’t start doing physics until I was 33 and now I work on a cutting edge research project at one of the top labs in the world. You can just do things
Great paper and point about AI removing the cross subsidy for early career mentoring which came from grunt work. But what to do about it? One solution — train students much more in school to become experts, perhaps using AI simulations.
I have a new paper with Luis Rayo on a key, simple question: will AI end careers as we know them? Link below. We all experience AIs usefulness every day: AI writing code, drafting legal memos, and analyzing spreadsheets. AI can already do many of the tasks that young people…
Trump: ‘I hear there is a war between Pakistan and Afghanistan, I’ll try to solve this one’
They've all shifted into pro-Palestinian activism. Wokeness shapeshifts -- it doesn't go away -- but if you measure it on the movements of a few years ago it will look like it has. x.com/StefanFSchuber…
Share of young Swedish women and men who view "the environment/climate" and "gender equality/feminism" as one of the five most engaging political questions. Substantial drop since 2017/2019.
There is no crisis. Chinese deflation is akin to the 20-year "Great Deflation" in the US economy from 1870-1890, a period of breakneck industrialization and "overproduction" that laid the necessary groundwork for the subsequent 100 years of technological blossoming.
