Ditto - Look at Paul Krugman, who used to be academic before going full Twitter.

  Ehhh, Paul Krugman is legitimately famous in his own right for his academic contributions. He would be famous even if he wasn't an NYT/Twitter warrior. He has been incredibly influential in neo-keynesianism. Roubini has nothing like that.

    My point is that he was once very legit, but now he's just another social prattler.

    I took his International Macro class in grad school. He was a great teacher and gave possibly the hardest multiple choice test I’ve ever taken for the midterm.

  In general not a Krugman fan, but this is brilliant https://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/interstellar.pdf https://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/interstellar.pdf The Theory of Interstellar Trade, in which he develops a theory of trade where differences in time due to relativistic speeds is considered.
