NOT NORMAL

This post builds huge implications from one societal change. I cannot imagine it's falsifiable. But its pseudotheory never leaves my head.

Confidence is not my strong suit. Here I discuss a case in which I felt mesmerized by the confidence of others on their own worldviews.

On good and weak advice. Such as: "Please fight for justice and climate change, but only after you are a full professor"

A couple of thoughts on the elemental particles of micro and macro-economics, their connections and dynamics.
