Spent quite some time writing this month on topics that matter to me; how we think, build, and educate for growth. ๐งต

probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) work well as a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.

the specifics of how Nigeria advanced to the WC qualifiers playoffs was doing my head somehow... and none of the standings online show the second-place table adjusted for CAF rules. so i asked Claude to do the math for me and put it in a nice table. https://t.co/PIdI7T3gPv

Genuinely the most enraging thing about housing discourse is how people talk about 'affordability' like it's some sort of innate quality, like the building needs to be made out of affordium. Housing. is. affordable. when. housing. is. abundant. Supply and demand are real.
"No matter how many houses you build, if they are not affordable, then you will not solve the housing crisis." @ZackPolanski at our @TWT_NOW panel on why we need to take on the profiteers and the corporate giants to win homes for people.

With today's news, worth re-upping this footnote from the Aghion, Howitt, et al "inverted-U" paper. (Click to the replies to see Nick Bloom defend this head-scratching sample selection criteria ๐)

@kentuch005 @TonamiPlayman You can and should route plan intracity passenger mass transit. That's where you actually have to bother. Intercity passenger is a minority of travel. Let's focus on where there's alpha to transform lives.

@kentuch005 @TonamiPlayman The specifics of route planning aren't optimally done centrally. Hence, why I said the FG should build the platform and tools reconcession to states. The states can use the tools to run analysis and pick buses in prearranged deals.

We're not the only country seeing a math problem. Running from it is not the way to go. https://t.co/vUAaNZcGxc
This week, a math professor at MIT told me that incoming students are, on average, noticeably worse at math than they used to be. Harvard, of course, just added a remedial math class, Math MA5, "aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among students".

This is a bad idea. "They dont need maths" is a weak defence for it btw
Going forward, students of Arts/humanities will no longer be required to have a credit in mathematics to get admitted to universities

Everyone can be extraordinary, Just stay obsessed ๐ซต Extraordinary = Ordinary * extra (X)
the penalty for being average has never been so severe, but the payout for being extraordinary has never been higher.

You don't even need 100k buses. Seoul, the city with arguably the best bus network on the planet has a fleet of 35k buses. City - Bus fleet - Pop - Rail Seoul - 35k - 26m - 1,302km Beijing - 31k - 21m - 879km Sao Paulo - 16k - 22m - 377km London - 8.8k - 14m - >1,000km
800 buses? Is it to pick teeth with? My 100,000 high capacity BRT buses agenda needs foster parents.

...and the money will be spent in the local economy
@bizzleosikoya Thatโs where LASG/FG comes in too. They should be able to throw in 1-3bn. If they can sponsor/subsidize pilgrimages what of the non religious(or circular) people, what do they benefit?

You get a lot more tractability of the Aghion-Howitt model and you can start asking questions like "how are concentration and innovation connected?" A famous (highly argued) paper argues for an inverted U https://t.co/B2VgB0ZvnR

There is an ongoing conversation around economic modelling in Nigeria - national and subs, needed to guide these reforms: sophisticated and comprehensive enough to assess impact and predict outcomes of the interplay of economic variables at play. I agree, hence the need to

The head and tail of this matter is that some of you are attempting to provide a "woke" rationale for what is simply a superstitious belief.
