If you think /u/neshalchanderman raised good points in his RI, you should think that comment perfectly fine. If not, not.

AskEconomics 内の TheHandOfLiber によるリンク I found this video clip, and I would like someone to help me understand what this guy is saying?

Tbh I haven't watched it. A title like that, however, is like a title talking about exposing the liberal conspiracy behind global warming: it's a very strong sign that what you're about to see is bullshit.

I posted it to /r/badeconomics here; hopefully someone actually goes through and debunks it. Sadly, I don't have the time right now.

/u/VodkaHaze wanna make this your next "Post first and RI later" challenge?

Edit: People, please. I can't be a mod, put in a low effort post, and then not deliver. HELP ME /BE!

It was observationally equivalent to a meme. Like asking how to learn R.

You think Nassim Taleb is fucking Peyton Manning? Maybe 2015 Manning, one of the statistically worst starting QBs in NFL history, but that's it.

I realize, just like FBS /= NFL. But FBS : NFL :: dissertation : publication is at least plausible, no?

You need a dissertation, no? Also, Stony Brook isn't exactly MIT; I don't think Noah went to them claiming to be Matt Rognilie or anything.

How is getting a PhD analogous to never playing even an FBS game? I get that you clearly don't like him, but Jesus, chill out. Or are you actually Taleb?

Wouldn't the more accurate comparison be someone who played FBS football but didn't get drafted and instead works in sports journalism?

In fairness, Spark (which based in either Scala or Python) is gaining popularity. In double fairness, Scala itself uses the JVM.

I don't think Integralds has anywhere near the vitriol for him that pm_me_utils seems to.

A rumor started by Taleb's not so antifragile ego. Do you really believe Taleb over Noah (and Stony Brook's website) on this? Because if so, good God are you letting your personal dislike cloud your judgment.

Unless someone who knows better (including BT, Integralds, UBU, and JH) disagrees with him, I'm inclined to give Noah the benefit of the doubt.

Because he's an assistant professor of finance there. IIRC, he has published some stuff. He's not about to win JBC for it or anything, and it might not even be enough to justify tenure if he didn't have his blogging as well. But he is one of the most publicly recognizable communicators of the field, like him or not. And just because he doesn't have the academic credibility of Krugman or Friedman doesn't make him a hack.

No. He doesn't write at an academic level but he doesn't try or claim to. Besides Krugman, he's one of the best known economics writers out there who actually studied economics (i.e. knows more economics than Klein and Yglesias, better known than DeLong or Ozimek).
