I feel confident of what I have said about Gauge theory and Inflation. Here is something much more far out: George Soros' Thy as a gauge Thy

Soros' General Thy of Reflexivity:

Markets tell worldviews how to move. (Cognitive) Worldviews tell markets how to curve. (Participating)

I think Soros may well be trying to tell us something Deep but we are holding him back with ugly nonsense about mkt actors.

So G.Soros: It ain't nutty. I'll try rendering your theory of Reflexivity in elegant mathematics...If you'll spring for beer.

I am not ignoring the micro/macro divide. I just don't buy this "micro is healthy and macro is sick." B-S always goes metastatic.

I am also not ignoring the freshwater/saltwater divide. The difference between these two schools is nothing compared to science/silliness.

Good Work (e.g. Black Scholes) doesn't have to be perfect. But if it's sillier than Dr. Seuss, it should .. y'know .. probably rhyme.

12:32 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

Eric Weinstein

Now let me unpack my point about Inflation. The vulnerability of Kayfabe economics is that it can't come into contact with economics.

12:43 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Inflation exists in Microeconomics, In Macroeconomics, and in Kayfabe Economics. So Kayfabe is forced into convulsions to avoid the topic.

1:12 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Kayfabe solves it by fiat while, as the quotes show, it is thought unsolvable even in standard theory. But In Gauge theory it is solvable.

1:16 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

Eric Weinstein

What happened in 1996 is that Economics and Kayfabe Economics accidentally ran into each other head on at Harvard over inflation.

1:23 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

This is where I learned not only about the very existence of a made up world of economics but its power and ubiquity. Kayfabe is amazing!

To @stevenzenith: I disagree with reasoning that says "you need a theory that does x." Jagger be damned: You can't always get what you need.

Imagine you say to Ken Arrow: "Well you still need a voting system that gets a group to act like an individual." He says: Fuggedaboudit.

9:19 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

Eric Weinstein

On behaviors: We haven't even gotten there. I am just trying to allow market actors to change their tastes. Taste change is econ kryptonite.

9:20 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Litterally, folks like Becker have tried to write the ability to study taste change out of economics in the definition of the field.

9:22 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Econ is: "The combined assumptions of maximizing behavior, market equilibrium, and stable preferences, used relentlessly and unflinchingly"

9:29 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Explaining away evolving preferences (as due to advertising) is an obsession for UChicgao Folks as taste change is an existential threat.

9:32 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Now you don't have to know ANY econ to see that after being the lede at ScienceBlogs.com no one engaged @dabacon on the science question.

9:33 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

Eric Weinstein

No @stevenzenith, evolving tastes in econ is modeled by making the foliation of the space of goods by indifference leaves time-dependent.

9:42 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

Eric Weinstein

This is serious "Did you just tell me that all people have the same fixed tastes...and you are in the NAS?" blow-your-brains-out-stupid.

So @aldoric, I'm trying to open the mathematical door to biology so we can see "Markets as the Continuation of Selection by Other Means."

10:03 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009

Eric Weinstein

The idea @aldoric is to show economists that by embracing humanity in models (heterogeneous taste in evolution) they don't lose everything.

10:04 PM 路 Sep 10, 2009
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

But @stevenzenith, our tweets about semiotics, market collapse, and field theory risk crowding out f-rt jokes. This is twitter..
