Fresh out of the oven! 🍞 With AM Espin, MP Espinosa & MJ Vazquez), we examine whether mentoring programs for vulnerable youth foster in-group bias. The results are surprising: the young person’s background and the program’s duration have a huge impact.

This week, I gave a talk at the 3rd Soleto Summer School — an experience I’ll remember for a long time. It took place in a beautiful square in the heart of Soleto, with a wonderfully diverse audience.

Thanks Giuseppe Attanasi and the entire CIMEO Sapienza U Roma

Hoy escribo en @theconversation.com sobre las cosas que influencian nuestras decisiones: ¿Qué pesa más : las ganancias, las normas sociales o las convicciones internas?

theconversation.com/que-pesa-mas...

Spoiler: en general el dinero es lo de menos...
¿Qué pesa más en la toma de decisiones, las ganancias, la presión social o las convicciones internas?
El beneficio económico no es el aspecto más importante en la toma de decisiones. Las convicciones personales importan mucho más, aunque también influye la presión social.

Meta's trial unveiled a tidbit: In 2022, Mark Zuckerberg floated the idea: Why don’t we delete everyone’s Facebook friends list and make them start over? Would Facebook feel cooler if you weren’t just hearing from a bunch of people you added 12 years ago and never talked to again? nyti.ms/4jstsv6
A quote from Kevin Roose, co-host of the "Hard Fork" podcast: "In 2022... Mark Zuckerberg pitched the idea of deleting everyone’s Facebook friends and basically having everyone start over with a fresh graph, a fresh slate of Facebook friends."

El Gobierno catalán anuncia préstamos a jóvenes para pagar la entrada de su primera vivienda (incentivar la demanda). Cuando hicieron una política similar en Reino Unido (help-to-buy):

❌Aumentaron 8% precios.
❌No aumentó la oferta.
❌Los promotores se apropiaron de toda la ayuda.

Desconozco el tema en profundidad pero da la impresión de que todos son ventajas (vía impuestos) si los costes ya se han asumido (educación, sanidad, etc.).

Seguramente me pierdo algo, pero cuál es la pega de legalizarlos?
