Student debt and pandemic:

@JoeBiden should propose wiping out all student debt for any tuition in Spring 2000.

Subsidize tuition for next 2 years.

1/
2/
 Schools w change grade systems, but many students bear the cost. Keep students in school as there are fewer jobs available for them anyway.

Graduating seniors lost their spring semester, probably losing jobs, too— go back for a free masters.
3/ Reduce demand for the smaller amount of available jobs. Leave more jobs available for those who were already in workforce.

Reduce unemployment numbers and shift $ from unemployment benefits to tuition.

Let's give Kushner a chance. He might have relevant expertise.

Who knows, maybe the cure for Covid-19 is luring it into an embassy, strangling it, and cutting it up with a bone saw.

Jared Kushner Is Going to Get Us All Killed nyti.ms/2x1tlVc
Who knows, maybe Kushner can orchestrate a naval blockade around Covid-19 (Qovid-19?) and extort it into submission.
On the other hand, he'd probably see if Qovid-19 would be interested in bailing him out of 666 5th Ave first.

It's just in Kushner's RNA.

Kushner puts himself on the inside of the response.

Just like ⁦@SenatorBurr⁩ and ⁦@SenatorLoeffler⁩ did.

This is my Kristen Bell moment when I realize we are in the Bad Place.
And I can't believe I didn't realize it 3 years ago.

First up on the random playlist as I sit down at my computer:

Elvis Costello, "Everyday I write the book."

Damn. I'm trying. Every night, too.
"With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel."

That sounds about right.
And I'm writing about Hamilton right now.
(Alex, not Eliza).
Next up: Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Relax, Don't Do It.

Lessons from the Pandemic

1) Over billions of years, Earth and its ecosystem evolved through multiple chains /sequences of event, many destructive and some constructive.
2) Many extinction events happened, wiping out species. Some survived.
3) Microbes arrived 350 cr yrs ago.
+
+
4) Every time some system stabilised, the species took many millions of years to build a food chain.
5) All apex predators always were excellent marvels of evolution.
6) The microbes have stayed with everyone, all along.
7) Evolution did not stop for a moment.
+
+
8) It was just a little while ago - barely a million years - that human like forms started emerging.
9) On an Earth that's 450 crore years old, 10 lakh years is a joke.
10) Humans (homo sapiens) are the only species of humans alive, others are dead.
11) We live with microbes.

Business advisors have preached efficiency and just-in-time inventory management in all sectors of the economy. On one level it makes sense, reducing storage costs. Environmentally it makes sense, too, not to build bigger buildings and storage sites. But for healthcare #pandemic
In healthcare, just-in-time inventory leads to dangerous shortages. After Hurricane Maria, there was a saline shortage. Saline is one of the basics of hospital healthcare, but with electricity/facilities damaged by the hurricane, we ran out.
There were 211 drug shortages in 2010. Before then, 224 in six years. Just-in-time inventory makes no sense with medical supplies in drugs because interruptions are inevitable. From strikes, earthquakes, #pandemic

Today's Applied Complexity Symposium begins with a panel on Computation and Complex Economies, feat. Rob Axtell, Joshua Epstein, @C4COMPUTATION, Blake LeBaron, John Miller, & @MelMitchell1

(Follow this thread for live coverage all day...)

#complexsystems #economics
4 Principles of Collective #Computation:

1 Ground truth (objective reality)
2 Effective ground truth (what we agree on, whether or not it is accurate)
3 #Information can be collectively encoded in #networks
4 Outputs are a product of collective dynamics

@C4COMPUTATION right now
"I think #economics really needs to adopt a generative framework with agent-based models of cognitively plausible software people...[and] we don't choose to fear."
