Narrative Art As Ethics | Contrarian Moderate
https://contrarianmoderate.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/narrative-art-as-ethics
Narrative Art As Ethics. August 20, 2013 – 10:48 pm. What music is playing a character acts? Which characters have nefarious-looking facial hair? But ultimately we own our evaluations, and they define us, and help us to grow as people. 1a) Characters are not presented with complex choices. 1b) Nothing significant is at stake. 1c) There’s no possible parallel between decisions made in the story and any real-life decisions. 2a) Characters make hopelessly stupid decisions. That creeps in. But I think my...
Quick Reading List | Contrarian Moderate
https://contrarianmoderate.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/quick-reading-list
August 15, 2011 – 5:44 pm. Posted in Political Discourse. In response to a request via facebook, I’ve compiled a short list of blogs that I read regularly. My basic stance on media consumption is that people should read sources that resonate with them, but should also actively seek divergent viewpoints. I disagree with a lot of what I read on these sites, but the writers are all brilliant, and they almost always present interesting, well-defended, and honest arguments. Will Wilkinson ( RSS. 8230;] unthin...
A Simulation to Ponder | Contrarian Moderate

A Simulation to Ponder. April 5, 2012 – 5:28 pm. You could plot a very simple version of this simulation on a grid, with each axis representing a property and dots representing each actor, or imagine a more complicated version in n-dimensional space. Presumably, the simulation would play out by actors moving from their starting position and arranging themselves in better locations, eventually finding local maxima and remaining there, or at least creating fairly stable sub-optimal equilibria. Get every ne...
Fun with Scenario Planning | Contrarian Moderate
https://contrarianmoderate.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/fun-with-scenario-planning
Fun with Scenario Planning. December 22, 2011 – 1:41 pm. I’m puzzled by this chart. From the Brookings Institution. In which employment grows at 321,000 jobs, as it did in 1994. The takeaway from the graph, presumably, is that it will take a very long time to return to full employment. The problem with the graph, is that its assumptions are entirely arbitrary, to the point that its predictions are largely meaningless. When unemployment was low. It cannot possibly exceed 472,000 jobs per month. Get every ...
Poker, Cognitive Bias and the Metaphysics of Luck | Contrarian Moderate
https://contrarianmoderate.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/poker-cognitive-bias-metaphyisics-of-luck
Poker, Cognitive Bias and the Metaphysics of Luck. June 15, 2012 – 3:41 pm. Amidst a poker game last night, I posited the following:. Every poker player has worse than average luck. Call it the anti- Lake Wobegon Effect. So why am I trying to argue something that is patently absurd? Below I will argue both why it is wise to believe aLWE, and also reasons why it may be true. 1 The utility of framing. 2 Almost everyone has worse than average luck. Accepting poker as a zero-sum game, mathematics allows that.

Santa for Grown-Ups: Local Shows and General Fraudulence
http://santaforgrownups.blogspot.com/2011/05/local-shows-and-general-fraudulence.html
I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. But, assuming I did, this is what I would say. Sunday, May 15, 2011. Local Shows and General Fraudulence. Hey guys. Look, I don’t mean to be a stick in the mud, but what the fuck are we doing? I mean, seriously. Are people even thinking before they do things? Does one thought enter their brain before it makes their body perform destructive, useless actions? I seriously don’t know. Not to sound all over-arching and Glenn Beck-y but this has to stop. The tire...
Santa for Grown-Ups: Complaints
http://santaforgrownups.blogspot.com/2011/07/complaints.html
I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. But, assuming I did, this is what I would say. Saturday, July 30, 2011. In light of the recent influx of complaints regarding (Chicago) comedy, I thought I would weigh in with some things that you can hopefully take with you. I have been doing stand-up in Chicago for the last four years so here are some thoughts I have at this stage as they pertain to some common qualms:. 1 Comedy owes you nothing. 4 Comedy is a reflection of life, not life itself.

Rationally Speaking: So long, and thanks for all the fish
http://rationallyspeaking.blogspot.com/2014/03/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-fish.html
Thursday, March 20, 2014. So long, and thanks for all the fish. Or, as the title of the last Star Trek: The Next Generation episode wistfully announced: “ All good things…. This is the last Rationally Speaking post, folks! It has been a long and fascinating ride. It began back in 2000, before blogs were a thing, with what at the time I called a (syndicated) internet column, and which became a blog in August 2005. Since then, I published or edited a total of 1208 posts (this is #1209! 8221; is the Latin w...

An ongoing review of politics and culture. Operation Victory Denial: A Modest Proposal. A majority of the electorate is unhappy with the performance of President Barack Obama and would like to remove him from office. Faced with the choice between reelecting President Obama and voting for a blank-slate alternative, the electorate chooses the blank-slate alternative. Primary electorate picks a “not-Romney,” they will probably be picking a candidate that will perform disastrously in a general el...After all...
Santa for Grown-Ups: I am not ugly.
http://santaforgrownups.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-am-not-ugly.html
I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. But, assuming I did, this is what I would say. Monday, April 25, 2011. I am not ugly. I am not ugly. So, I feel like when people meet me, their expectations are a tad high. We tend to judge people based on how they look. That’s our first line of defense as a member of this species. “Are they clean? But then I talk. Oh, how silly they must feel to have been duped by the superficial inferences of appearance! Keep fighting the good fight, man. I am not ugly.
