Though I am a university professor, I am critical of the value of the education we provide. And I am the fellow who published several manuals. Probably thousands of pages over the years. I believe that @bryan_caplan and his case against education (great book) is more right than wrong. Formally speaking, I am often classified as a 'software engineering professor'. Let me cite Parnas, one of the most influential software engineering professors there is: « I observe that most software developers ignore the bulk of our research. Whereas practising engineers find things of value in research public… Related

Reflections on Americans’ Net Worth I’ve been an economics professor for almost 30 years, but I don’t think I’ve ever before seen anything like the table below. I knew that claims that “58% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 car repair” were laughable cli…

I joined @JeanChatzky on the @HerMoneyMedia podcast to honor my dear friend, the late @ClementsMoney, and his final book, "Money and Me." We talked about: * why his simple, sound investing philosophy still endures * what his terminal-cancer diagnosis taught him about the meaning of money * why the shift from saving to spending in retirement is so psychologically difficult * what Jonathan's final year, spent eating good food with good friends, can teach us all about living well Listen here: lnk.to

Mojito Island is a mirage. It always was. There is no retirement for ambitious people. There is no just sitting back on the beach and sipping a mojito for what? For two weeks before you go damn crazy and wanna get back into the action?

I think that's the other big misconception that some people have about wealth is that they conceive of it as some sort of checkpoint. Like once you've made it, then you can just kick back in leisure as though that was happiness.

Their words
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman is a delightful whodunnit set at a retirement home in the English countryside. Great characters. Fun twists. An endearing sense of humor. Nothing fancy or experimental, just a pleasure to read (and what more can you ask from a book, really?). If, like me, you enjoy mysteries, you'll be in good hands with Osman.

Having said all that: I confess I enjoyed "2040." The plot is tightly constructed, the dialogue crackles (certainly for a CS professor writing a first novel), the satire at least provokes chuckles, and at just 215 pages, the action moves.

Despite having read a few bookshelves worth of academic psychology texts, I enjoyed Yale professor Paul Bloom's survey of the field. Because understanding psychology cannot be divorced from understanding its history, I enjoyed Bloom's birds-eye view of the field from the past to the present day.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
