Or, to the jaded: “They observe the world with blinkers; they rely on theories their own camp has already debunked… by editing that out; they collect data to suit their theories and reject those that don’t conform to them; they are too often captured by ideological preferences and preconceived notions - and paycheques or tenure paths; and they are rarely open to changing their minds when presented with better theories or new data, especially from heterodox schools or other disciplines.”

Last night's keynote "Flat Out Like a Nation Sinking" Northern Beaches Liberal Party Event From the audience reaction after, I don't think their members are happy with the party's policy platform.

New quantum computer smashes 'quantum supremacy' record by a factor of 100 — and it consumes 30,000 times less power. Nice to see real progress is still happening, even if most of the economics sphere remains stuck in the Dark Ages. livescience.com/technology/com…

More people means more cars and the need for more highways. So when will the Green Party start calling for lower immigration to reduce demand for roads and highways? Reducing population growth was one of the key parts of the environmental movement, yet the GPO is afraid to raise the issue of high immigration.

"Its trick is to present itself, not so much as a prediction, but rather as a magical machine which somehow defines the correct option price – like a mentalist who predicts the future by making it happen." Learn about the magic of the Black-Scholes Model: bitly.ws/UbfN

@d_orrell @CQFInstitute Very interesting! Was the talk recorded and, if so, is it publicly accessible? On another note, is your 3rd edition of "Quantum Economics and Finance" substantially different from the 2nd (which I bought just b4 the 3rd came out)? Is a 4th edition planned soon? Many thanks

It was a pleasure speaking yesterday at the @CQFInstitute conference marking the 50th anniversary of the Black-Scholes model. My talk presented 9 predictions of the quantum model.

Models aren’t just tools to analyze systems, they also affect what we do and don’t see. And in finance, the quantum model isn’t too much of a stretch – it’s a perfect fit. Which is why we started a new journal: us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/quan…
