I am surprised such monumental work has no likes??? lol I don't know, for me coming across the Threshold Concepts Framework was transformative in how I think about my work as an Instructional Designer. I have tutored some of my peers during my undergraduate years and saw how gateways of understanding can just open up through conversational engagement.

These French intellectuals are such an awful CRINGE... 🤕

Economics can benefit more from philosophy than data since the action of humans and their behavior have been studied by philosophers for millennia while data and the method of collection in such a complex place like the society is always flawed. The last people who thought science and data is the right and the only approach to the economic solution are the Marxists and their collective farms.

I dont know if Heckman intended for it, but his policies is now being used for technocrats to destroy kindergardens etc - they are turning kids into "capital". Its gross. In Denmark our politicians have used Heckman as the base for their ideas and one of those ideas is to forcibly adopt newborns away from the parents bc if the data tells them the parents will "squander" the childs "value", its best that the state steal that child. Thats what technocrat ideas like Heckmans does. It makes politicians think of humans as data.

What a wonderful and humble man!

Nice accent !

This is subtle nonsense. Not outright nonsense but subtle nonsense. Which makes it very dangerous.

I don't understand why this isn't already an integrated part of economics.
