I stumbled upon a video on youtube titled "Science v's God : Its The Collapse Of Physics As We Know it" and it's basically a clip from a science show on theoretical physics. In it, Michio Kaku admits that scientists have yet to reconcile quantum mechanics with astrophysics, but the implication of the title of the video implies that because the theory is incomplete the whole of physics is false.

There are many critiuques of Paul Krugman's article Nobody Understands Debt that are far better than anything I could write. But I wanted to pick an issue with one of his points Second — and this is the point almost nobody seems to get — an over-borrowed family owes money to someone else; U.S. debt is, to a large extent, money we owe to ourselves. This is sloppy reasoning. He makes it sound

Lately I have been thinking about how specific morals arise given that people frequently hold different moral viewpoints. If all morals were obvious or intuitive then there would be no conflict, but because there is conflict this must be too simple of a view of the world. Instead, I believe that underneath most morals lies a logistical problem and that the moral problem is an attempt to solve the

My views have continued to evolve over the past few years and working them out in type helps immensely. I had considered starting anew, but I like the name I had chosen for this blog.

I'm currently reading The Case for Mars by Robert Zubrin (so now the title of this post is a cheesy pun) and I stumbled across this passage:Internal combustion engines can have power/mass ratios of 1,000 W/kg. That's twenty times higher than that of a hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell, one hundred times that of the battery-driven system. A combustion engine delivers far more power with far less mass than

I had a hard decision to make this semester, take Public Choice or Austrian Econ and I finally decided on Austrian (since I like the teacher who is teaching it. It's the same guy who taught Public Policy) and went down to the bookstore to pick up my books for the class. Here's my reading list for the next semester's Austrian Econ class:Human Action by Ludwig Von MisesCompetition &

I finally got around to reading Freakonomics (I feel like one of the last people to do so). I had put off reading it for two reasons; because I was busy with school and because the hype surrounding it (I tend to be contrarian in that regard). Anyway, the hype and self-promotion have cooled down and the semester is over, so on my Christmas vacation I pulled it out and read it. All in all it's

Sunday marked the 47th anniversary of the revolution that empowered Fidel Castro. In the Economic Development of Latin America class last semester we had to do a report on a specific country from the Latin American region and I jumped at the chance to do a report on Cuba (I was surprised that more people weren't eager to do a report on Cuba). The report focused heavily on the Castro regime and

So, after my first full time semester in a few years it has been a wonderful experience. I learned a ton in my Public Policy class and I got to see some of the dark side of economics (Keynesian) in my Latin American econ class (the professor was really nice and I got an A- on my mid-term even though I said state intervention should be minimal in development).Next semester I take Public Choice

While I haven't been reading as much on the internet as I used to, I have read some of the recent debate over game theory and thought I'd throw in a few of my own (though I'm sure these criticisms have been made before by other critics of game theory) thoughts on Game Theory. First off here are some of the posts made by the major sides in the debate:Michael Mandel's original article: A Nobel

Dark Matter: Invisible, Mysterious and Perhaps NonexistentI've been skeptical of dark matter for some time and thought it was merely "equation fitting." I had also wondered if scientists had taken loose hydrogen, dust and free floating bodies that were too small to ignite into account, but I figured they were more knowledgeable than me on the subject, so they probably did.

Wednesday, my Public Policy professor (who is awesome BTW, anyone even remotely interested in economics would love to take this class) was talking about price controls and how the end of the Roman Empire was preceded by a massive debasement of currency and the Edict of Diocletian (Von Mises has a good explanation a couple of paragraphs down in this section of his book Economic Policy).

She was angry because they raised their prices to match their competitor's prices even when they had paid less than the current going price of gasoline.

Sometimes, through the evolution of language words adopt their direct opposite meaning. For example, in the United States "liberal" used to mean one who believes in a doctrine of free market principles as opposed to government intervention. Today liberal tends to mean the opposite in the US.That said, the Communist party of China appears to be moving in more and more of a free market direction

It has been a good ride. I started this blog up in late 2003 in an attempt to sharpen my writing and reasoning skills by focusing some of my pieces on subjects of interest to me (such as science, economics and finance).

Call it the "Heterosexual Affirmation Act of 20XX"I found this article amusing:"I found that if you made men more insecure about their masculinity, they displayed more homophobic attitudes, tended to support the Iraq war more and would be more willing to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle," said Willer said.

So I watched the premiere of FX's new drama Over There which is set in Iraq. I thought it was a very enjoyable show and will definitely be watching more episodes.Like many people, before I watched the show I had wondered if it would have a pro-Iraq or anti-Iraq message.

So, in their infinite wisdom the House of Representatives has passed a comprehensive energy bill that would extend daylight savings time by an extra month.

In today's hot housing market, there are a lot of people (neither the lenders nor the borrowers) concerned about home owners taking on interest only loans.

So, the other day a friend of mine posted something about how she was hearing horror stories of senior citizens eating cat food and didn't want that to happen to her when she got older.

Courtesy of Fark, here's an article discussing how "Ontario drivers pay 45 per cent more for auto insurance than their British Columbia counterparts." The kicker is that in Ontario, insurance is provided by private companies (the word free-market is thrown around entirely too easily these days) while in BC, they are provided by the government.

It never ceases to amaze me what some people will complain about, either out of complete ignorance or out of the power over others that being a complainer gives you. Of those complaints, I find the one that we pollute space to be among the most asinine.

I regularly see Steven Levitt described as a "rogue" economist. While I have yet to read his book Freakonomics (right now understanding Financial Institutions takes priority), some questions about this title come to mind. Is it a self-proclaimed title? If not, who bestowed this title upon him? Is he econ's Maverick? If so, does he have a Goose? What about an Iceman? If regular economists do it

Cornell University just released a study showing that most forms of biodegradable fuels use more fuel in production, than they save by using.

Don Boudreaux wrote an excellent letter to a distraught NY Times reader in the reader's lament of Irish prosperity at the sake of Irish culture. I'd also like to point out that (assuming the most recent attack in London is the work of Al Qaida) that with the rise of Irish prosperity, Irish dissent over British rule has waned. Sounds to me like the Irish are happy.

Out of boredom and a desire to amuse myself with spam, I have decided to put together a virtual portfolio of penny stocks reccomended through spams to see how well they do over time. It is interesting to note that at least by the time I get these spams, they don't do much, so either they were originally sent out much earlier or people aren't buying into them. It is a price-weighted index (as

George Lucas discusses how filesharing will shape the movie industry. The vibe I get from him is that it is somewhat inevitable. However, I wonder how much of this summer's lull is due to recent bad movies and a reluctance of consumers to spend their money on movies.Reason Magazine discusses how a slippery slope of prior decisions inevitably lead to the Kelo decision. This is largely why taking a

If it was 140 years ago, the Kelo decision would have made a different impact. Before the 14th amendment, the constitution was a limit to the federal government and any of the areas that applied to the federal government didn't necessarily apply to the local governments. Back then, what the federal government was prohibited from doing, the state governments were still allowed to do. This also

AMD Files Antitrust Suit Against IntelI have always thought of AMD as an example of a triumph of the power of the market over a monopoly. At one point, Intel microprocessors were in something like 90% of the world's computers, but AMD has steadily gained on Intel without any intervention from the justice department. Last year AMD outsold Intel on desktop computers. Doesn't sound like Intel is a

From Today's FFF newsletter.And here we come to the vital distinction between the advocacy of temperance and the advocacy of prohibition. Temperance and self-control are convertible terms. Prohibition, or that which it implies, is the direct negation of the term self-control.

As of the past couple of years, "outsourcing" jobs to India has become a hotbutton topic. The claim is that we lose jobs to India, raising the unemployment rate here and lowering the wage rate.

This is the way our government is supposed to work. The federal government refuses to raise the minimum wage, so the states with the more interventionist legislatures take it upon themselves to do so. Unfortunately for these states, this will also raise the unemployment rate and make these states uncompetitive. Their only hope is for the federal government to force uniform misery.

By now I'm sure most people have at least seen the headline that 'Star Wars' may cost US economy $627 million, but how true is this? There may be truth to the claim that employers will have to pay out that much in wages not worked, and the total cost of the movie tickets will not make this up, but is it really "lost?"

The defenders of social security often recite the mantra that while investment in the stock market yields higher returns, it doesn't guarantee provision for retirement. Social Security on the other hand can provide that guarantee. The most obvious holes in this argument are as follows. Odds matter. I suspect the reason that opponents of reform issue vagueries is because the numbers are not in

I finally started reading The Road to Serfdom, and so far (63 pgs in) it's very good. As Milton Friedman points out, though it was written for the world just after World War II, its message is as important as ever.One thing I thought was interesting was how Hayek essentially said that roads couldn't be provided privately, but at the same time criticized Germany for "oversupplying" their people

According to this article it is. It even lists some of who it considers to be the predominant anti-environmentalists. High up on that list are John Stossel and Michael Crichton. Funny though, because I'd describe Stossel's environmental position based on three tenets:1. The Environment isn't in as bad of shape as many say it is2. Environmentalists are a lobby with vested self-interests just like

Yesterday I came across this link questioning the existence of intrinsic motivation. While I think it makes a good case, I have to wonder if it is consistent with an article I previously posted about people who "just do it" being more successful at exercise. On the one hand, it appears that they are internally motivated to exercise. On the other hand, it could be that they simply enjoy the

I like to think any keen economic student would have predicted this outcome to providing incentives for employers to pay for healthcare: Obese workers' pay lower due to health costs, Stanford study findsYou could probably do similar studies applying this to single mothers, elderly workers and others who would have higher health care costs.

For human beings to find out that we're not alone in the universe would be a huge revelation. In the ten years of our discovery of extrasolar planets, we have already cataloged 155 planets around different stars. Unfortunately most of these planets have been bigger than our own Jupiter, and often far too close to their suns and would have destroyed any closer orbiting rocky planets. By our most

I have been meaning to do a post on Toxic Shame as defined by John Bradshaw in his book Healing The Shame That Binds You, but obviously haven't yet. Anyway, I found this study on exercise to be somewhat reinforcing of what Bradshaw had to say. One point he makes is that in using shame to motivate ourselves (through all or nothing thinking for example), we set ourselves up for failure. It may

Yesterday's news had a story about a "Geurilla Art" group called Heavy Trash who erected towers outside of gated communities in the LA area.

This weekend, when I was in the used bookstore, I came across two John Kenneth Galbraith books at less than two dollars each: Money: Whence It Came, Where It Went and Economics Peace and Laughter.

Featherweight World Boxing Champion Scott Harrison has been banned from every pub in his home town. The interesting part of the story is how the pub owners did not use government intervention ban him, but used their own rights as property owners to do it. Imagine that.

Right now, I am about 3/4 through the book and it's easily one of the better books I have read on the quantum/cosmological disparities in physics (if not the best).
