- diffhistN Arrow's Impossibility Theorem 06:10 +2,725 Pyrope talk contribs (Created page with "Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, proposed by economist Kenneth Arrow in 1951, is a fundamental result in social choice theory that highlights the challenges of aggregating individual preferences into a collective or societal preference ranking. The theorem demonstrates that it's impossible to design a voting system that satisfies a set of seemingly reasonable criteria simultaneously. Here's a simplified explanation of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem: * '''Individual Prefer...")
- diffhistN Social Welfare Function 06:06 +5,370 Pyrope talk contribs (Created page with "The concept of a Social Welfare Function (SWF) is often explored within the framework of welfare economics, which examines how resources can be allocated to maximize social welfare or utility. At its core, a Social Welfare Function is a theoretical construct used to represent society's preferences over alternative states of the world.

This principle was first introduced by the economist David Ricardo in the early 19th century. At its core, comparative advantage suggests that even if one country is less efficient in producing all goods compared to another country, it ca...")

- diffhistN Long/Short Position 22:16 +2,395 Pyrope talk contribs (Created page with "In financial trading, going '''"long"''' on something means to buy it with the expectation that its value will increase over time. Conversely, going '''"short"''' means to sell something with the expectation that its value will decrease. Abstracted from financial trading, the concept of long and short positions can be applied metaphorically to various aspects of life, particularly in decision-making, belief systems, and personal values. Taking a "long" position on some...")
- diffhistN Stay In Your Lane 20:21 +1,841 Pyrope talk contribs (Created page with "The phrase "stay in your lane" is typically used as a metaphorical way of telling someone to focus on their own responsibilities, expertise, or domain rather than meddling in or offering opinions on matters outside of their purview. It's often used to maintain boundaries, prevent overreach, or discourage someone from interfering in areas where they lack competence or authority. However, "stay in your lane" can be weaponized when used inappropriately or in a manner that...")

It's like setting up camp in a new mental space, trying it out, and seeing how it fits with one's beliefs or understanding. Conversely, Ideological "Decamping" refers to leaving behind or moving away from that adopted perspective or set of ideas. It's like breaking camp and returning to one's default or original mental state or perspective after experim...")

- diffhistN Matilda Effect 05:00 +1,320 Pyrope talk contribs (Created page with "The "Matilda Effect" is a concept coined by science historian Margaret Rossiter, inspired by suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage. It refers to the systematic undervaluation and underrecognition of the contributions of women in academia and science, particularly in cases where their work is attributed to male colleagues or supervisors. In many fields, women have historically faced significant barriers to entry and advancement, leading to disparities in recognition, funding, a...")
- diffhistN Matthew Effect 04:56 +2,568 Pyrope talk contribs (Created page with "The Matthew Effect, coined by sociologist Robert K. Merton, refers to the phenomenon where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, or more specifically, where those who already have an advantage tend to accumulate more advantages, while those who are disadvantaged struggle to catch up. This concept derives its name from the Gospel of Matthew, specifically the passage "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath no...")
