  9. A quotation from Steven Levitt

    No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.

    Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
    Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]

  13. 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 😬

  27. @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 freakonomics.com/podcast/why-d

    (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)

  32. CW: Apocalyptic

    This episode of Freakonomics discusses the failures which lead up to a school shooting.
    Basically the shooter is crying out for help and is essentially committing a public suicide usually giving many obvious signs that they need help. (Because America: access to guns is simple)
    This is how I feel America as a whole is behaving and scarily we are it's schoolmates. What the hell can we do to help our troubled, psychotic classmate not kill us all?
    (Because America access to the greatest number of every and all weapons is simple)

  37. Listening to Lina Khan do an interview on Freakonomics and I had no idea she was so young. Also, she’s an incredibly well spoken, intelligent person.

    Of course the current administration HAD to get rid of her.
