(FB 1543603044 Timestamp) ARE HISTORIANS OR ECONOMISTS MORE RIGHT? Um…. Let me help you: OUTLIERS. Economists are better at explanation post hoc, and historians are better at prediction, for the simple reason that history consists of the analysis of outliers (opportunities in signal), and economics the analysis of regularities (opportunities in noise). At present it is painfully clear to me that we are both at the most fragile condition any empire has been in history, and we have a surplus of agitated external competitors, and a surplus of agitated internal males ready to seize the opportunity. If the economics profession measured ALL capital changes and incentives those changes cause, and demand for it’s reallocation, as well as rates of consumption and production, then the profession MIGHT come close to the predictive ability of historians. But as we have consistently seen, (which I have been measuring since 2002), the opinions of economists (confidence) vary inversely to the predictability of the conditions. So, it’s not an either or proposition. Bias Confirmation in History, Projection in Psychology and Sociology, and; Cherry Picking in Economics. Next time you hear an economist say ‘but we don’t try to measure that’, inform him that his position is no different from theologians saying ‘we don’t account for that’.

(FB 1543945333 Timestamp) —“Q:CURT, WHAT ARE LOADING AND FRAMING?”— LOADING: Inserting or removing value judgements, emotions, approval and disapproval, into an argument where they merely obscure the truth. FRAMING: Inserting or removing narrative into the content to imply motives, incentives, intentions, other than those that exist. You should know these two tactics as well as substituting disapproval or approval for argument, as well as all the logical fallacies, and the memory, social, and cognitive biases. If you do not understand these things you are an amateur that needs to maybe study logic and rhetoric, and perhaps the list of ideologies. See http://retawprojects.com/uploads/politics-ideologies.pdf

Teach: Arts, Technologies, Economies, Laws, and Wars. In other words DEMONSTRATED history, not REPORTED history. Or stated differently, theology, philosophy, literature, and history, are just as vulnerable to REPORTING BIAS as are the pseudosciences of metaphysics, psychology, sociology, and ‘political science’. What’s the difference, and why have the pseudosciences (reportings) of the written word been so damaging compared to the law, sciences, logics, and mathematics? Lack of agency. Utility of coercion.
