Re @paulg It is the magic of the division of labour. We can go through life understanding a tiny fraction of the world and rely on others for the rest. Growth is about the efficient utilisation of available knowledge: learning a tiny fraction, relying on markets/organizations for the rest.

Re @lugaricano @DukeU I guess I am still taking a hopeful "the wheels of justice turn slowly" view. But the lack of intermediate action (e.g., as at HBS) is surprising.

Hilo de las encuestas del 23-J:
1] Estuvieron regular.
2] Nuestra predicción avisó de que era una posibilidad real que no sumasen PP+Vox.
3] Y aunque la izquierda sorprendió para mejor, el CIS volvió a sobrestimarla. 🧵

The translated transcript of the Israeli documentary on Ariely that @ewzucker was recalling. Thorough, careful work, documenting an astonishing amount of lies and deceit.
1) @DukeU appears complicit in corruption.
2) I am amazed our profession has been so bad at self-policing.
