Excerpt from The New York Times -- "Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at New York University, calls it the clash between globalists and nationalists.

The nationalists see that as a vision of hell. They want to defend their culture and emphasize the bonds of nationhood — flag, Constitution, patriotism. They also want to limit immigration, an instinct that globalists are often quick to condemn as racist."

'In that sense,' Cooley said, the proposed tax change 'encourages domestic investment ... in the U.S.'"

Excerpt from the Foundation for Economic Education -- "Paul Wachtel, an NYU economics professor who was on Greenspan's dissertation committee, defends Greenspan’s work, claiming, 'the chapter written by Greenspan in 1959 on investment risk and stock prices anticipated by 10 years the Q ratio developed in 1969 by the late James Tobin,' who would become a Nobel laureate."

But I think now that in some sense, technology, computer systems, the programming has caught up with that potential. People are starting to see that artificial intelligence can, in fact, have big implications for how we do many things."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Coined in 1999 by then-Cornell psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the eponymous Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias whereby people who are incompetent at something are unable to recognize their own incompetence. And not only do they fail to recognize their incompetence, they’re also likely to feel confident that they actually are competent."
