TIL that each year in Japan, a few people die because they suffocate while eating mochis
I understand the frustration of people in other social sciences, I really do
But not all economists are like this
I have to admit that over the years, these generalizations have become increasingly demoralizing and I increasingly perceive them as incentives to retreat into pure economics
As an economist who respect and value the other fields I interact with, it always pains me when colleagues in other social sciences post generalizations like these
I’m not saying there is no hubris among economists, it’s rather that these generalizations obliterate the work of people like me
Also, I have some reservations about using Tyler Cowen and Richard Hanania as reference about anything

Postures like mine are a sort of loss-loss: you pay a price among economists for being genuinely open to other social sciences and you pay a price among the other social sciences for being an economist
After a while, it just becomes tiring

La « bosse des maths » n'existe pas : la maîtrise des mathématiques est avant tout une question d'apprentissage et d'entraînement — plutôt qu'innée*

Microsoft Edge was the first browser I used that supported Split View, which is a powerful feature with a clear use case
I'm glad Mozilla Firefox also supports it now — and hopefully, Safari will be next

*Bien sûr, les aptitudes individuelles à faire des mathématiques varient d'une personne à l'autre. Néanmoins, ces variations ne doivent pas être confondues avec une sorte d'incapacité fondamentale à travailler avec les mathématiques.
