Speaking exclusively to BBC News, CEO Sundar Pichai said the artificial intelligence boom had been an "extraordinary moment", but there was some "irrationality" in it.

Yesterday met an MMT supporter with a bigger chip on his shoulder than I have. Inconceivable. I don't see an alliance possible.

I know one of a culture's jobs is to provide a world-picture that comforts us so we can continue to function in spite of mortal anxiety, but Catho-Protestant's one-two punch floors us with the first swing, so that when its three-legged race with Mammon makes our culture trip up--

I bet I'm more eager than the rest of you for the release of the Epstein Files. The historical consensus about the cycles of rise and fall is that the elites are to blame.

This is incorrect. Economics is actually a subfield of political economy, contrary to what many people think. Many of those we consider today as the "classical economists" — such as Smith, Marx, and Ricardo — referred to their field of inquiry as political economy.
Political economy is not a subfield of economics. Political economy is a subfield of political science which happens to be useful for studying economic problems

50 years of orthodoxy has trashed and sold off UK🇬🇧 industry, services and utilities. All to the benefit of the super rich, not us. Now kids' numeracy, literacy and even HEIGHT are all falling. Those born after 1980 are worse off than older generations. Time to change course.

I think that it is arguable that the ultimate goal of capitalism is disappearance of family, because family is based on relations of reciprocity and non-commercialization, both of which are fundamentally opposed to the spirit of capitalism. Note that in most developed countries
So, when you commercialize everything, it’s not surprising that what you have is a world of loneliness. The quasi-disappearance of family is probably the ultimate consequence of this, in that family is defined by activities which in principle are not commercial.

Is this a way to avoid the Otto-Rank snapback? It happened to FDR, Luddendorf, even Goethe. Like the Barnyard Dog chasing Foghorn Leghorn before the chain ran out, he couldn't go far enough. https://t.co/PnHt6PnUVu
