  • They did a study with kindergarteners where they let them play in a room with lots of different stations with all sorts of toys and art stuff however they wanted for as long asvthey wanted. They documented the amount of time each child spent on each task/game and interviewed them to ask them what their favorite things were. Then the next day they told each child that if they spent time doing the thing they enjoyed the most, or spent the most time on, the previous day they would pay them a quarter per minute they spent doing it. They dodnt force them and the children were still free to do whatever they wanted in the toom. Basically every child stopped doing the task they were paid for. Make if that what you will.







  • The thing any sort of discussion of econometrics and their relationship to politics never even considers are people’s expectations. Like maybe Brandon and the dems should consider the fact he was promising everyone significant change. Like maybe if you promise people you are going to change things and then don’t people might be mad about that regardless of the data. I was promised student loan relief, I don’t give a shit that inflation came down, I didn’t get my money you fucker.
