In 2010 David Cameron declared that nudge theory – a concept laid out by the authors of Nudge, expanding on the work of the Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economist Daniel Kahneman – would transform British politics. Eleven years on, the former PM’s favourite thinkers have prepared a new book for him to chew over. Subtitled “A Flaw in Human Judgement”, it arrives about six years too late. Here, Kahneman, Sibony and Sunstein study “noise”, which they define as “unwanted variability in judgements”. If bias is systematic, noise is random – inconsistent, irrational decision-making that produces bad results. Judges’ verdicts vary depending on the weather; underwriters looking at the same sample cases arrive at wildly different premium rates. There’s even, for Cameron, a bit on the perils of subjective confidence in one’s own judgements. The message? Humans make mistakes; we’re clouded by mood, psychology, circumstance. Statistically, algorithms ....
Earlier this week, I offered a critique of a piece that Neal McCluskey posted. He responded here. I started writing a rebuttal to his rebuttal, but decided that I didn’t want to be the “someone is wrong on the internet!” guy, so I’ll just move on and allow readers to reach their own conclusions.
The tl;dr take is that he says his attack wasn’t on academic freedom; it was on taxpayer funding of educational institutions at all.

At least we know where the disagreement is. ....

comments In the spring of 1975, Michel Foucault was set to lay claim to being the last great French intellectual of the twentieth century. He was about to publish the first volume of the work that would clinch that title for him, The History of Sexuality. Yet, fed up with the conformist and closeted culture of France at that time, he would once again seek refuge elsewhere, continuing a pattern of his adult life that had taken him to Sweden, Poland and later to Tunisia, where he had lived during the events of May 1968. So taken was he by the atmosphere of liberation in San Francisco that he contemplated emigrating and becoming a Californian. It seems then that Foucault fell in love with California. It was there that the austere anti-humanist thinker of the 1960s, who had proclaimed the death of man in open hostility to Jean-Paul Sartre s philosophy of freedom, would experiment during the final decade of his life with new forms of relating to others and inventing oneself in ....
