Me, I think government is a tool, like a hammer. You can use a hammer to build with or you can use a hammer to destroy with. Whether government is good or bad depends on what you use it for and how well you use it. On the whole, it’s a poor idea to put people in charge of government who don’t believe in using it.

It's nice when your work is recognized with an #award, especially if it is your first proper methods paper!!

We proposed a #mixedmodel based approach to information #sampling and #utilization (e.g., #advicetaking, #judgment) that overcomes artifacts and paradoxes built into classical approaches. Moreover, it is unbelievably flexible, and it can be used any time multiple pieces of information are combined into a single judgment.

Most of the merit goes to Tobias R. Rebholz, who was the driving force behind this paper. He invited me to collaborate on this, so I owe him all the fun I had while working on the project.
The paper was published when I was already at the University of #Basel, but it all started when we were at the University of #Tuebingen working with Mandy Hütter.

Hope you like it! Check it out:

A quotation from Wendell Berry

The rule, acknowledged or not, seems to be that if we have great power we must use it. We would use a steam shovel to pick up a dime. We have experts who can prove there is no other way to do it.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

Wenn Variabilität auf 100 % Auslastung trifft, explodieren die Wartezeiten – selbst kleine Störungen bringen das System zum Stillstand. Nicht die Variabilität ist das Problem, sondern Systeme ohne Puffer: Wer ohne Slack plant, plant den Stillstand.
