On my deathbed, I know I will deeply regret the hundreds of hours I spent on chess dot com

Last night at dinner one of my kids talked about hearing about "loaded language" in surveys and I was like: I HAVE A STUDY I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT! gh.bmj.com/content/3/2/e0…

Our @WFP Impact Evaluation Unit (@simonelomb) was hosting Aulo Gelli from @IFPRI today, who discussed his recent study from Yemen 🇾🇪 on the positive effects and cost-effectiveness of adding milk 🥛 to a school meals program. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… @WFP_Evaluation

"Depending on how you frame the question, you can get radically different results." I heard this expressed in a meeting and remembered that @FelipeADunsch, @Mario_Macis, Wang and I have an example of that with patient satisfaction surveys in Nigeria. gh.bmj.com/content/3/2/e0…

@Valen10Francois @IIF Also don’t let @nntaleb see this graph.

Don't let the European Commission read this graph 😁 In the last 2 years in the OECD deficit is correlated with growth

"Taleb has succeeded in creating a full system that goes from empirics to ethics, a thing which is exceedingly rare in modern world. Whether because we are tired of grand systems or because our knowledge has been parceled due to the way knowledge is created and disseminated in modern academia, but very few people are able to create systems of thought that go across multiple disciplines and display internal coherence. This the uniqueness and importance of Nassim Taleb."
