|content=You mean the Friedman money and banking seminar where [https://x.com/haralduhlig @haralduhlig] was the principal critic who then started to understand only after the seminar?
I’d be happy to do this with Harald on board. It might motivate us to finish our work that happened after the seminar.
I don’t know you @florianederer. But I do know you as a consistantly bad actor. As you may know, the most famous Chicago seminar was that of Coase. Where the seminar became famous *because* Chicago got it wrong. And it took much longer to see the argument.
Harald got it wrong during the seminar. And I also know that Chicago, at least historically, eventually usually gets it right. But I’d be happy to structure a bet that would penalize your being a bad actor.
I write this not because I care about your opinion. But because Cliff is a colleague. And, at least here, you are a troll. Let’s figure out if there is a mutually agreeable bet that gives me an ability to inflict a cost on this behavior of yours.
And one last point. [[Ken Arrow|Arrow]] and '''Samuelson''' were both supportive of this work. But perhaps you see what they do not. Who knows. You are certainly very sure of your position. As am I.
One of us is wrong.

|content=Let me be clear. This post is not targeted at foreign born STEM. [My apologies to those of you who know me well on this point for decades. But it is always deliberately misinterpreted by those who seek to depress salaries.]
Read carefully, it's target is American STEM employers who lie as a way of life about the quality of our own STEM people in order to gain access to foreign labor.
My contention is that we destroy American STEM which is the best in the world because it is expensive, irreverant and high risk/high return.
If you want to go shopping abroad for future americans who are expensive, irreverant and high risk/high return, let me know and I will design your labor market.
But I will never put up with Americans who misportray just how good U.S. STEM really is in order gain access to oceans of plient low variance high value labor.

|content=Woah. Slow down. Because then we would be stuck with American STEM workers. Ya know, those lazy, stupid, unmotivated can't do, low-IQ pseudoscientific stoners who play video games all day long and can't be bothered to crack a book.
It would be like being stuck with R. Feynman, J Watson, M Gell-Mann, K. Arrow, G. Hopper, JR Oppenheimer, S. Weinberg, '''P Samuelson''', M. Nirenberg, J Lederberg, S. Smale, D. Mumford, J Doudna, S. Coleman, B. McClintock, and M. Ptashne all over again. And we can all agree that we need the best and the brightest.
