No lol. My ADHD and dyslexia prevents me from taking notes like a normal person. In all seriousness, in all my accounting classes it wasn’t mentioned. It was just assumed you should internalize it.

Feel to an extent they are acting as a filter like a bachelors did decades ago for promotion tracks. Which is creating lots of annoyance with everyone.

Somewhat true with continental Europe. The idea of attempting to use research out of microeconomics, apply it rationally for managing an organization has been around for over a century. From the better ranked schools, US and abroad, found them to be pretty bright too.

Also the elephant in the room of international law amounting to weak custom and consent. “Does international law exist” is something that’s argued about by specialists, while the existence of, say, Belgian tax law isn’t.

Agree, at the time it was just notable how he came under public pressure to do it though. Turnover within the party makes me lean towards it’s a possibility in the next administration.

It’s why I think a president ignoring the court is far more likely tbh. They are already spinning up the intellectual framework in law journals under departmentalism framework.

Exactly. Assertion presented as evidence. In all seriousness. MBAs exist all over the developed world, much of which manage to avoid distinctly American pathologies. Problem isn’t MBAs. Problem is structural to the US.

Related, sort of, realization that in the event if the online communists got their revolution spreadsheets will not be abolished. I’ll just be sent off to some department in it economic planning ministry. USSR loved its spreadsheets.

Same. Seeing it outside the context of a portfolio was odd. Personally, I’ve seen it rarely used even then. Usually on some glossy report. Daily, for me, it was usually some form of IRR.

No, the undergrad finance department is holding down the fort for reality based instruction while the undergrad econ major is an embarrassment disconnected from the entire field of economics.

Only if you know little about what is taught. And focus only on the subjects that lack rigor, like management and marketing.

Wasn’t an education major but remembered coming across analysis of educational practices, and it was a truly WTF moment.

Remarkable how their refusal to enter institutions to build cultural and political influence, causes them to essentially forfeit the debate. A debate in their favor.

It seems to be a global phenomenon. End of the Cold War you see, globally, the rise of social liberalism among educated upper middle class individuals. Then they slowly, then rapidly abandon the right. It’s really depleted them on the human capital front in all sorts of ways.

I’ve always thought of math as a language, even though it’s not often articulated in those terms. Looks like you do as well too.

Broader, you’re getting at some really interesting points. The rise and dominance of the wealthy crank. Just vacating from civic organizations while paradoxically exalting them as the reason for their mindless anti government rhetoric.

Yes, which is why we are more likely to end up with a plebiscitary presidency, for a while at least.

Of all the things the retain from the new left, its anti state pathologies is not one of them. Please, let us bury the new left and right alliance that shackled the government.

Need to encourage more generationally wealthy people to be dilettantes, take up rich people hobbies like yacht racing. Not get actual jobs of any sort.
