I overheard a colleague remark, with exasperation, "I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."
Question to followers in wake of Afghanistan+other traumas. How have you changed your worldview over the past few years? Not "I was even more right than I thought I was about," or owning some political miscalculation. But really changing your worldview about something important?

Me when I just noticed that in my 1999 paper showing the robustness of the fixed effects Poisson estimator I listed the keywords "Fixed effects Poisson model" rather than "Fixed effects Poisson estimator." 😭
