Ten Thousand Graphs ft. James Meadway
Added 2023-12-08 13:02:08 +0000 UTCEconomist and host of Macrodose podcast James Meadway joins us on this episode to talk about how and why economists post, and how it's changed from the blogging era to platforms. We talk about the idea of authority among economists online, whether posting has diluted the value of economic debate, and Paul Krugman's Twitter prophecy of 2013 – one that he then went on to ignore entirely.

PALESTINE AID LINKS
As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate using the links below.
https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate

Please do make your voice heard in other ways about this. Showing up at protest marches and writing letters to elected MPs are useful acts of solidarity. Please encourage your elected representatives to support calls for a ceasefire, while still bearing in mind a ceasefire represents the bare minimum.

He shouted "BETA male? Could a beta male do this?" and then stood up and unsheathed a hitherto unseen katana. He then posed with this until satisfied that the stunned silence from the rest of the panel was him winning the argument. He then sheathed the katana and sat back down.

I first encountered him by accidentally clicking on what turned out to be a Twitch debate about veganism in which a Costa Rican vegan woman said that only beta males eat meat they didn't hunt themselves, and this cued my introduction to Haz:
