I love this: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

economists gave students an incentivised trivia quiz where the students needed to show knowledge of countries' capital cities and deliberately let the students cheat
then, in two months they gave the same students the same quiz but strictly monitored cheating

Results:
• correct answers dropped 50%
• many (23/125) students cheated maximally (contrary to Ariely)
• Higher GPA students cheated more
1. first round correct answers
2. second round correct answers
3. difference between rounds (apparently, most students either didn't cheat or cheated all the way)
4. lol

1/n One of @gwern's best essays ever is a review of a book nobody has ever heard of.

It's about looking into the future, seeing exactly what awaits us, and being unable to capitalize on this knowledge, because you only know *what* will be and not *when* it will be.
2/n "one quickly realizes that yes, person X was 100% right about Y happening even when everyone thought it insane, but X was off by a few years & jumped the gun & so Z was the person who wound up taking all the spoils."
3/n "A good idea will draw overly-optimistic entrepreneurs to it like moths to a flame: all get immolated but the one with the dumb luck to kiss the flame at the perfect instant."

Now sitting in on a session with @oeav on excessive ski area development in Tirol.
Lots of ski areas in Tirol, more lifts planned as resorts try to outrace #globalwarming. But it’s too much, says @oeav - seele-der-alpen.at

Wrote in @thesundaytimes today about fascinating new research showing that free-marketeers really are brighter than Lefties. thetimes.co.uk/edition/commen… For those who can’t get through paywall, here’s a quick summary thread (because it's really interesting stuff)
Conventional academic view has been that, to quote one recent paper, ‘higher intelligence leads to a system of attitudes variously described as liberal, enlightened, or left-wing/progressive’. (Also greater racial tolerance.)
But as Dr Noah Carl points out, the evidence is only actually strong re SOCIAL liberalism. People’s economic views are often completely uncorrellated - two Tories may both like austerity but have sharply different views on drugs/hanging. Likewise Labour and immigration.

"the incidence of floods over mainland France is found to be stable over the last 35 years and even falling once we account for the heightened population pressure" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
"rates of forest fire destruction display a significative downward trend, the anthropogenic rate fell from about 5% to 2% (over the period 1973–2017) while the natural rate is about 100x smaller and likewise falling. . . " sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1. In response to some aggressive challenges (#troll) on some of the statements I make in my recent @Ensia article, I thought it important to share the following points (thread)
2. Here’s the link to the article in question. ensia.com/voices/science/
3. And here’s a link to another essay I wrote a while ago that dives in deeper: conservationofchange.org/thefireweed/20…

Some notes on @nntaleb's #Antifragile: Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility,randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty.. there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile.
This is pretty much a sense of complexity
of much interesting is that aging and chronical diseases (as diabetes) lower your complexity level in physiological time series such as heart rate (working paper)
