Probably not what you think

The “economics of information” has been an active sub-field of study within the discipline of economics for many years. (A seminal work in this area is George Akerlof’s 1970 paper, “The Market for ‘Lemons’: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism.”)

I’ve been seeing quite a bit about “information” since the election. Despite the image above, the election was not a case of asymmetric information; it was all on the table. But no diatribe here; no rant; just a quote. Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

The problem is most people have poor listening skills.

@blueberry1222 And they're not in the right spaces to even have a chance to listen to sources that are as unbiased-as-possible.

Okay, that looks deep

Most people only believe what they want to believe. No study, no elegant argumentation, no proof can make them see the obvious. It's so sad.
