Partisan Economic Biases In A Time Of COVID | Hoover Institution Partisan Economic Biases In A Time Of COVID

I started listening to this podcast during COVID because the more you know. The thing I find a source of hilarity, whether it's joe Rogan, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, or podcasts like these is the crazy lack of women. I've been out of a research/lab environment for about 17 years but for the most part I was always impressed by how fair/collaborative my colleagues were. I've witnessed an intellectual backsliding particularly among elites that is surprising.

My pet peeve is how consistently naive, wrong these institutes are with regard to economics.

The old boys network is intellectually insulting and alive and well much to my chagrin. There's such a pompous quality to individuals who constantly experience ego stroking.

I know Peter thiel is a personal hero of yours. I can't say the same.

Men on the right constantly talk about virtue signalling which is valid. But you never admit to the dog whistles you blow that represent a denigration of women's rights. Even when you have daughters and wives of color. I would NEVER get away with such behavior. Nor could I stomach myself fully knowing the consequences. for you it's habitual/second nature. How inevitably the numbers end in violence against civilians, women and children. Every British historian should be able to speak on that subject. You wrote the playbook. Economics, human rights are integral to each other. I rarely hear ANY economist link these concepts. In your archives for common sense you see Milton Friedman do it time and again.

Without self serving aggrandizatiion

I’m gonna chase one last rabbit tonight and then go to bed because today has been long and difficult and strange. Not bad, over all, but weird.

So, we all know about rogue waves, right? Sneaker waves? Freak waves? Monster waves? Killer waves? Just big ol nasty huge walls of ocean that show up for absolutely no good reason and wreck anything stupid enough to trust the sea for a hot second. Hell, in my adoptive home of Oregon I have seen warning signs for these waves on Cannon Beach. Winter is peak Ocean Gon Kill You season. This has been a known fact ever since the first thinking protohuman stared out at the endless expanse of water with jellied knees and a quaking heart.

No, no it has not been a known fact. Until the year of our Lord nineteen and ninety five there was no such thing. It was folklore and tall tales and the vivid imaginations of old sailors. Now, I’m aware that before 1995 (the year the fucking PS1 was released) people were definitely looking for evidence of rogue waves but they still weren’t factual events. Anyone just 'knows' that rogue waves are a thing that will happen, ask any coastal community. Ask anyone who has been forced unwilling onto a boat, keenly aware of the cruel mercies that control their fate. Of course there are giant waves that show up for no good reason and smanch up anything stupid enough to exist. That's just a fact. But until 1995 (when Toy Story was in theatres) it was not a fact, it was mere conjecture.

It's now known that they not only exist but occur way more often than they probably should. But, like, they didn't legally exist before 1995 no matter how many mysterious disappearances they were responsible for. That drives me crazy.

Anyway, my point is that 2022 can be the 1995 of horny Bigfoots. With your help and just a little seed money I truly believe I can bring this well known and documented enigma beyond the realm of mere gossip or speculation and well into the sphere of scientific fact. In this essay I will-
