A lot of people are dunking on this for being incoherent, but there is something really important happening here as well. Scientific nihilism - the belief that we can't truly know or understand anything, is a longtime cornerstone of bad economics and bad politics 1/7
Holy moly. I don't think I can do this. First words out of Peterson's mouth in the Joe Rogan interview are complete self parody. I can't even dunk on it.

Mangel an (amtlichen) Daten zu regionalen Preisniveaus? (destatis.de/DE/Themen/Wirtsc…) Waere aber sicherlich ein effizientes public good, die Information bereitzustellen und bspw. fuer alle moeglichen Transfers auch relevant.
Warum werden nominal einheitliche Tariflöhne und ein nominal einheitlicher Mindestlohn als fair angesehen? Warum werden sie nicht an die regionalen Lebenshaltungskosten angepasst?

All the discussion about pre-doc programs reminds me that very few people in US academia know the reality of those who come from developing countries. I guess the discussion was probably about american undergrads, but I thought I'd share a different perspective, fwiw: (1/N)

Wir leben doppelt so lange wie nur wenige Generationen vor uns. Unser Einkommen ist knapp 10-mal so hoch wie 1950. Die Arbeitslosenrate ist niedriger als je zuvor nach der Wiedervereinigung. Wir sind bei der WM ausgeschieden und Der Spiegel verliert den Verstand.
