- I am proud of economist and Stanford President Jonathan Levin for speaking out in defense of liberty. Let's see more universities follow suit! "Harvard’s objections... are rooted in the American tradition of liberty, a tradition essential to our country’s universities, and worth defending".
- Reducing administrative burdens helps people access support. If the govt already knows the answer to the question, why make you fill it out? www.nber.org/papers/w30885

- Reposted by Prof Keith Marzilli EricsonAs federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.

- Reposted by Prof Keith Marzilli EricsonFascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc. In a word: Harvard. Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard. 🧵

- Appreciating beauty. #capecod
- I'm a liberal, and I find so much inspiration in the sacred texts of my religion (and those of others). These excerpts from Isaiah 24 remind me that God has walked with people through far worse calamities.

- In a democracy, *both* parties need to be willing to accept losing elections.
- "Men (and a woman, and dogs) have traveled to space for longer than the entire United States guaranteed all its citizens access to the ballot....The task of political work is to build a polity we want to live in, not to assiduously hope that eventually all will sort itself out."

- #behavioralecon insights apropos WaPo & LA times: 1. Changing a single decision (unsubscribing) is easier than a series of ongoing decisions (not buying from Amazon). Limited attention and temptation undermine ongoing decisions. Both news and Prime subscriptions are effective levers(1/n)
