I would say that the particular importance of the measurement is far less relevant than the repeatability of the measurement. In that regard, because IQ is very repeatable in the mid-range, population effects measured by IQ should be consid

I hated this course, and later taught it at Stanford after enough years of real engineering that I didn’t even remember the topics. By that time I had developed my own way of doing everything: linear algebra notation, ODE and PDE solvers, e

I don’t think this is the case in any meaningful way, especially through the 401k mechanism, as participants are forced to delegate their ownership rights to the fund manager, which is yet another layer of dysfunctional fiduciary abstractio

Well, I can't anymore, but, I might have instead said something about how religion is commonly maligned for such practices. This is only to show that modern investment practices bear strong elements of ritualistic faith. Your response

This period has been very special because of the 401k, which is itself part of the growth story of the corporate legal structure. I think this is coming to an end. Corporate boards and officers no longer represent the best long-term interes
