In an essay called "To Act As If", Inger Christensen writes "It's nothing new for art and science to operate at the boundary between meaning and meaninglessness." Got me thinking about how the many "as if" assumptions in (behavioral) econ might be distributed around this boundary...๐ค

After reading the White House letter about the internal review process of the Smithsonian exhibitions, I think I found a way they can legitimately avoid all this interreference: submit one thing of the many requested and say the indexing suggested they were all one and the same :)

There are many good things about learning with an LLM. But one key advantage of learning with other people is that they can ask you questions that make you realize you actually don't know what you're talking about :)

You may not feel like reading about yet another depressing state of affairs, with all that's going on in the world right now. But this book is so full of interesting insights, so personal yet universal, that I couldn't help but feel hopeful by the end of it. Highly recommended!

Finally had a chance to read this paper and I think it's interesting, even if you're not doing research on lie detection. The issue of the correlation between second- and first-order beliefs and actions is relevant to any information processing environment.

This is so much more than just an art/biogr. book: "The world comes into being in our gaze all the time. It isn't, it becomes. It is impossible to live in this becoming, it is impossible to grasp, therefore we have developed a whole range of different ways of managing it. We call it knowledge." ๐
