Miles Kimball has some great blog posts digging into the evidence for this: https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/2017/9/21/obesity-is-always-an…

> why you should respect the jurisdiction pertaining to other regions Some of us highly value open debate and discussion. Perhaps because it's a core value in some cultures around the world, but maybe that's overly romantic. I suspect many of us have just read Milton's Areopagitica [1] or Mill [2], and have yet to hear any convincing refutations.[3] So those of us who recognize the value of open sharing of ideas will chafe at any suggestion that ideas are best refuted with suppression. Others in the world don't share these views. So we're left with a dilemma that cannot be resolved through mutual respect. You can't both openly debate controversial topics and be silent about them. There's no middle ground. There's no "respecting others beliefs" on this. These are strictly incompatible views on the world, on what information I'm allowed to discuss with my neighbor. I don't believe any government should have the power of thought control, so I reject the attempt of (especially foreign governments) telling me what I can or cannot discuss with their citizens. I respect the people around the world, but I cannot always respect their laws.

How could anyone seriously argue against open discussion and debate while discussing and debating the ideas involved? It's inherently contradictory. Or, those in favor of suppressing…

The entire $10trn financial industry exists on the premise that markets are not efficient. Even Warren Buffet has said himself, "I think you will find that a disproportionate number of successful coin-flippers in the investment world came from a very small intellectual village that could be called Graham-and-Doddsvill" All the successful investors seem to come from the same investment zoo!! Number of consistently successful traders and hedgefund managers do exist. I agree 90% can't beat the market but I am trying to find the 10% that do beat the market consistently through ArbitrageDude. Do you find it bizzare the buffet tends to make the right trade everytime?? Do you find it bizzare Jim Simmons returns are 30% annualized consistently Also, Please read Robert Shiller's (Nobel Prize) winner's response to efficient markets. He tells it better than I do. http://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/82659078132/robert-shiller-agai… i understand what your'e saying about probability and independent trials. Also my financial media lacks accountability. My website tracks everyone's trading record so you can see for yourself if Jim Cramer's recommendations are worth listening to. FT, WSJ, barrons, none of these tabloids provide any accountiblity record of their recommendations.

There's a huge difference between 'pro market' and 'buddies with some big businesses' and this administration is making it very clear, at least to those who would see. https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/47857230937/luigi-zingales-pro…

It seems Buteyko method aims to increase carbon dioxide tolerance. This blog post has an interesting discussion about that: Carbon Dioxide as a Stimulant for Respiratory Function —https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/2020/7/28/carbon-dioxide-as-a-…

Let's hope we're not headed towards Singapore or 14th century Venice, https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/46499129502/the-rise-and-fall-… > Venice had prospered under a relatively open political system in which a wide swath of the people had a voice in the selection of the republic’s ruler, the doge, and successful outsiders could join the ruling class. But in 1315, the establishment, which had been gradually tightening its control over the government, put a formal stop to social mobility with the publication of the Libro D'Oro, or Book of Gold, which was an official registry of Venetian nobility. If you weren’t in it, you couldn’t join the ruling oligarchy.

I found the twice linked article: "How Perfectionism Has Made the Pandemic Worse", far more interesting and to the point. https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/2020/12/31/how-perfectionism-h…

See Locke: https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/2017/10/22/john-locke-on-how-t…

We've reached the comment limit here, but it is absolutely not agreed that the Fed has legal authority to buy equities. "Former Fed official Joseph Gagnon has lamented that the Fed’s asset purchase authority “is limited by law to the Treasury, agency, and agency MBS markets plus foreign exchange” (emphasis added), and others agree." http://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/114021461013/greg-shill-does-th… They could attempt to do so with some really creative legal interpretations, but it would probably take an act of Congress to resolve all of the resultant lawsuits.
