Economists who adhere to rational-expectations models of the world will never admit it, but a lot of what happens in markets is driven by pure stupidity – or, rather, inattention, misinformation about fundamentals, and an exaggerated focus on currently circulating stories.- Robert Shiller, "Debt and Delusion"
An attempt to conduct what is the first real power of any citizen: skepticism of established dogma and ideology; disdain for establishment rhetoric; and contempt for the confederacy of dunces that have somehow become our leaders. Topics shall include current events, propaganda analysis, political science, philosophy, and biological research.
