    fucking lol. Even Harvard PhD's can't actually distinguish what the game is at this point.

    Also I found this howler:

    Just How Nepotistic Are We?

    How bad is America’s nepotism problem? Can data science help us gauge its depth? It can — and what the data shows is that something has gone haywire.[...] There are plenty of countries that are worse. Over the past 50 years, being the son of a leader of North Korea increased your probability of being a leader of North Korea by a factor of infinity. An infinite advantage to having a powerful father has been common in human history.

    Ooh we can find out how bad it is without data science:

    Stephens-Davidowitz was born on September 15, 1982, in Englewood, New Jersey[1] into a Jewish family,[8] son of Esther Davidowitz and Mitchell Stephens.[9]

    Mitchell Stevens the NYU professor of Journalism? Yes .

    Was just watching a GDC talk and the guy took an overnight course for business during his job as a gamedev. He had to read some Harvard shitlib economist too, to learn that profit derived from operational efficiency gets equalized across an industry over time because capitalism isn't static. And he had to phrase it in the most lib way possible.

      Are liberals capable of understanding an economic system as an entire system rather than a series of separated facts and pseudo-lawsthat aren't necessarily connected to each other?
