Goodhart's Law is one of those ideas, once you learn it, you find it everywhere.
I rewrote this post in order to read it for the podcast (so it flowed more) and it turned out so much better that I've updated the post. #MentalModels #politics #philosophy #GameTheory #GreatIdeas #Goodhart #Economics
GOODHART'S LAW
@hydroxyl
Stephen West’s podcasts are very good. Can be controversial at times, but balanced and informative. I have been listening to them for years. They are as accessible as ‘livres de gare’ for those with an interest in great thinkers but never had the time to study their writing.
His podcasts may even prompt you to go deeper into ‘great ideas and philosophy’ by listening to these podcasts wherein #StephenWest decorticates some heavy tomes for us, we don’t have to read and study them for ourselves.
Hate daylight savings? New time zone proposal:
Sunrise is at 7 AM.
That's it.
Yes, the new time zones will be very thin. Yes, it won't work very well at very high latitudes. Yes, you will be constantly having to specify which time zone you scheduled something in. Yes, most days won't actually be 24 hours long anymore. Yes–okay actually this wasn't such a great idea.
Worried Man #Blues (popularized by the Kingston Trio) and This Little Light of Mine are nearly the same #song, musically, in much of their length. This obviously leads to a #mashup in which both songs get sung. The natural way of doing this would be a #duet, with a man singing the Worried Man parts and a woman the This Little Light parts.
