He does admit to just respecting street intuition but it's ad hoc and I'd like to hear a good response to it.

not sure how to interpret the Grammys this year. Naturally, I hate them, but it's not without reason. They always pick the wrong artist or fail to nominate an artist that is deserving of at least that. So, when the picks for best new artist and best album of the year were announced I was forced to begin the process of reassessing my disdain for the awards.<br /><br />Esperanza Spalding and The Arcade Fire. Interesting. I feel like I want to interpret it as the Grammys trying appease me.Boneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200670973975686593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864480915222851530.post-47365773690102577262011-02-10T05:19:00.001-08:002011-02-10T05:38:40.510-08:00The Possibility of Altruism by Thomas NagelSo a friend and I have been having some fairly intense conversations about morality and its foundations over the past year and a half. He's recently given up religious faith but has struggled in understanding how to build an ethical system apart from God - not that it's difficult to build or take oneself to have a set of normative claims in any way, which of course, it's not. Rather, he sees himself as gripped by a sharp skepticism in the fallout of his deconversion. How he feels compelled to act, doing very good work supporting human rights and raising third world orphans, seems ungrounded despite my best effort to offer explanations for good and right acts. Such explanations have been natural as with evolutionary explanations to brute fact grounding - turns out the universe just has moral facts.<br /><br />There's two issues I guess that are lurking. One is the possibility of altruism, and the other, which seems only slightly broader if one has taken the pains to ground and explicate altruism as Nagel has, is how and where we ground goodness and rightness without God.<br /><br />So, in an effort to tackle the first of these problems, as if it were a modular effort, we've decided to start reading Nagel's work. What follows in the next few posts will be my recapitulation of Nagel's effort so that I can get a better understanding of what he is doing and so that maybe others will become interested.Boneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200670973975686593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864480915222851530.post-3696116275936200382010-11-09T11:19:00.001-08:002010-11-09T11:20:54.986-08:00Facial Hair by Months of the YearJanuhairy<br />Februhairy<br />Moustachio March<br />Attilo April<br />May Growth<br />June Beaver<br />July Vandyke<br />August Imperial<br />September Stubble<br />October Mask<br />No Shave November<br />Don't Shave DecemberBoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200670973975686593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864480915222851530.post-64475262752422228292010-10-05T09:56:00.000-07:002010-10-05T13:57:00.553-07:00Found Readshttp://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2010/oct/05/jonathan-wolff-footnotes<br /><br />good stuff. good blogger.<br /><br />UPDATE:<br />http://www.econtalk.org/archives/_featuring/bryan_caplan/<br />Found listen.

Andy's knowledge of his product is why I keep going back, atmosphere be damned. I bought some Mexican Zaragoza and I'm eagerly anticipating the first cup since the last pound was far darker roasted than this and unenjoyable. The last pound was Kenyan I believe but the roast was too smokey and I didn't enjoy the grapefruit notes in combination (strange because the IPA tasting during the OSU game I really enjoyed the grapefruit notes in a few of the beers). I'm beginning to get a really good sense of my coffee tastes. I like a lighter roast: fruitier and more acidity. I got a pound of Itzamna, Guatemala: Finca La Soledad from the LA Intelligentsia and I loved it.<br /><br />What have I been musing lately?<br />Well, Marchese alerted me to a <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100224132655.htm">study</a> from March by Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics in the journal of Social Psychology Quarterly. The study broadly claims that intelligent people are more likely to adopt evolutionarily novel behavior and beliefs. That's what Satoshi is warranted to say - or at least, he may at best be warranted to say that. Reasons for denying him are hopefully obvious given the quoted semi-explicit assumptions in the article: his definitions seem 'mad sloppy'.<br /><br />More Kanazawanian inferences <a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201008/if-barack-obama-is-christian-michael-jackson-was-white">here</a>, and an excellent response <a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/one-among-many/201008/satoshi-kanazawa-is-evolutionary-psychologist-provocateur-and-funnyman-ev">here</a>. If you're not outraged, you don't have the genetic coding for liberal ideas of proper scientific study, or your mother was muslim(?).<br /><br />I've been reading a lot of philosophy of science stuffs in tandem with the eye-opening dive into the baby pool of serious non-discrete mathematics. I need to finish reading Kuhn's work and do a work-up of it. I want to be able to talk intelligently about the specifics, and not just make general comments about what it meant for the discipline. This will hopefully integrate into economics and philosophy. LSE here I come?!<br /><br />Also, I've been reading a good bit on epistemology and religion. I feel like the metaphysics of religion are interesting insofar as they are data for questions of religious disagreement as defeaters More to come? This was supposed to be my topic for the Vox blog. I need to start working on my skillz again.

To converse originally meant to turn towaeds one another, in order to find a common humanity and to move closer to the truth of something. Dialectic, in other words, is decidely not about winning or losing, because all the conversants are ennobled by it. It is a joint search. Unfortunately, as Mr Barr put it, it is also "the most difficult" kind of conversation "especially for Americans to achieve."<br /><br />- The EconomistBoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200670973975686593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864480915222851530.post-46246658109148651742010-01-02T23:11:00.000-08:002010-01-02T23:36:35.801-08:00Medium v SmediumThere is an oft made claim that, until recently, found it's way out of my mouth on regular occasions: the book is always better than the movie. The why is easy. The book is rich with details and subplots which are impractical for and inexpressible by film. Though, like a critical thinker of any level should, I revisited the evidence and arguments. At times I rejected the mantra by claiming that the mediums sought different ends entirely, each sought it's own expression of a story, each highlighted a different perspective or mood. At times I relied on strict inference from data rather than stronger metaphysical claims - noting that <span style="font-style: italic;">always</span> makes the heart grow weary.<br /><br />I renounce any previous positive conviction of the claim; it is certainly false. I further deny my compromises and reformulations of the claim. The movie is always better than the book, if George Clooney stars in it.Boneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200670973975686593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864480915222851530.post-38391748108718004602009-11-28T12:58:00.000-08:002009-11-28T13:09:31.574-08:00Economic GrowthI think at some point economic growth is limited by the consumption driven markets we've developed. We can keep coming up with gadgets to buy but I don't know that the economy can grow deep long term.<br /><br />Imagine how much more value is generated for free by having survival less secure. Two instances of this: 1) Were the climate change damage to materialize more rapidly the danger of not surviving puts a greater value on whatever it takes to reduce climate change and all the incidental problems. 2) Aliens attack, and we can fight back reasonably. The value created by reducing survival security increases the potential for growth.<br /><br />I wonder if this makes sense. Can we increase the amount of value in the economy by making survival less guaranteed? Needs and wants are taken to be unlimited in every analysis, especially the personal analysis of the human heart - Buddhism is obviously onto something. If N/Ws are unlimited then we cannot actually create more value by creating more wants, it can only come from creating new widgets/ideas. Does anyone know of the dialogue on this?Boneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200670973975686593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864480915222851530.post-70458135839517050992009-11-17T11:34:00.000-08:002009-11-17T11:37:28.222-08:00Bathroom AccusationsYou walk into the bathroom.

I have to be honest with all three of you. I've never read Grice's stuff, or at least I don't remember reading any of it extensively. It's not right, right? The joke gets thrown around a lot in a few circles I run in and it's the following: "So-and-so didn't read their Grice." Basically, it means that so-and-so didn't understand context sensitive statements uttered by others because they were ignoring the conversational implicatures.<br /><br />Again, dear reader, you're going to have to forgive me but I went to the<a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/"> SEP</a> to check my facts and get straight in my head some of the details of his work. As I was reading I discovered and interesting case of statements, those kinds where the utterance has no meaning. Things like<br />(1): My neighbors three year old daughter is an orange.<br /><br />My first thought was that it made sense for Grice to claim that some statements contain no meaning. Then I thought about how statements like this are very often jokes, but then I thought about how few people are going to laugh at sentences like (1) without extra content like sarcasm, in general- body language, and most importantly <span style="font-style: italic;">context</span><br /><br /><br />Too lame to finish this but i feel the pull of posting something....

The current account is the sum of government spending minus taxes plus investments minus savings. So, if we're in a surplus it means that taxes and savings are jointly outweighing what is being spend by government and by investors. In our situation, current account deficit, investments and government spending is more than national savings and taxes. Hopefully you're asking how we spend the money we don't have saved or that isn't being collected by taxes. We borrow that money from foreign investors who either see America as a safe currency holding or are seeking the best real return on their investment. I also don't need to point out that many manufacturing jobs are relocating to other countries where labor is cheaper. ("Secretly", I feel this is best because it allows the market to behave most efficiently; firms are behaving in their interests to be cost effective)<br /><br />However, the shift from a manufacturing based economy to a service based economy is difficult. Services can be hard to export; massages are difficult to ship overseas - they are probably most needed because of all the back breaking manufacturing happening across seas.<br /><br />Some argue that in order to increase our exports and create a current account surplus we should devalue our currency against other major currencies, specifically those countries like China who routinely devalue their currency against ours. This would hurt imports- chinese goods would no longer be cheap- but would help exports because foreigners would be able to buy more American goods. There are problems with this. For one, the yuan is pegged to the dollar meaning that any attempt on our part to devalue the currency will be matched by an even greater attempt by the Chinese government to buy up those dollars with more of their freshly printed money, and let's be honest, Americans complain about Chinese goods being so cheap but they love to love how cheaply the Chinese offer to buy our bonds. Two, the devaluation is likely not to be enough to close the gap for export prices. One estimate by Goldberg and Dillan in Current Account Issues in Economics and Finance in 2007 says that for the export sector to close the gap we would need to see a 52 percent increase. That's a hefty bit to pull off.<br /><br />My swiss suggestion would be to do the following: It is natural for labour-intensive jobs to go to low-cost countries. Higher-cost countries can make things onlu if they innovate, focus on high-end products and ensure they are the "best in class" worldwide. But if firms are not competitve they should not survive.
