Are you honestly going to drop a quote from the 100th anniversary of Time magazine in which the authors were instructed to speculate about the world in 2098 as some sort of referendum on Krugman's economic knowledge?
Cherry picking a random sentence from a variety magazine isn't quite as strong of an argument as people keep insisting.
- javert 12y agoYou're right. I am absolutely not making the argument that Krugman is bad because of the quote. I'm asserting that Krugman is bad, because I know that to be true, without offering proof, which would be outside the scope of an HN comment. Separately, I'm also adding the quote to make fun of him. I didn't expect people to take my comment as some sort of intellectual argument. As you point out, obviously, it is not.
