When I see that stupid logic I always think of #Freakonomics and the dangers of safety.

Haven't seen a podcast decline as much as Freakonomics. From highlighting importat behavior economics to platforming a medical "professional" saying "trump derangement syndrome is real" without any pushback at all.
The other recent episodes were series on a single christian song and how horses are being traded by billionaires. Maybe it's a good time to shut freakonomics down 😬
I just finished watching a book talk with author Stephen Dubner celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of my favorite books, Freakonomics.
Interesting stuff. It was cool to hear about the behind-the-scenes of how the books and podcasts are put together, and how a simple conversation with the right person can spark enough curiosity to inspire a deep dive of almost any subject, even to someone with little to no background in it.
How will the increase of the the elderly population impact society?

#Commodity traders are exploiting #wars, #geopolitics and #crisis. They have political connections they leverage to make deals. And Trump has eased rules on #sustainability https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-most-powerful-people-youve-never-heard-of/ #podcast
@Sylvhem @chabdpointcom @jastrow Je suppose que c'est une question rhétorique, mais ça me fait penser à une bout d'épisode du podcast #Freakonomics sur les #rats où Bethany Brookshire, autrice d'un livre sur les animaux #nuisibles (Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains) parle de #pigeons.
J'ai copié/collé les captures d'écran en anglais de la transcription sur https://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-does-everyone-hate-rats/
(Confession : Je fais partie des personnes qui n'aiment pas avoir des pigeons autours de là où je vis parce qu'ils salissent, font du bruit… bref, me dérangent, mais je ne vais pas au delà de faire des gestes ou du bruit pour qu'ils aillent voir plus loin)
