First we kill all the economists

Who will miss any of the few remaining Austrian and Marxist types anyway? Ludwig von Mises argued that it was logically impossible, others that it was merely impractical. But Oskar Lange suggested it could be done: if an economy could be described as a series of simultaneous equations for supply and demand, then the central planner could solve those equations, if only by trial and error. This proved easier said than done. Nobel laureate Leonid Kantorovich spent six years gathering the data and performing the calculations necessary to optimise Soviet steel production in the 1960s, far too slowly to be useful in an ever-changing economy. Computers promised more. In an essay published after his death in 1965, Lange wrote: “Let us put the simultaneous equations on an electronic computer and we shall obtain the solution in less than a second. The market process . . . appears old-fashioned.” https://www.ft.com/content/6e81b0ea-d439-11e7-8c9a-d9c0a5c8d5c9 Let us put our faith in that urge to destroy that is also the creative urge

A Santa bearing a “hidden gift, cybernetics.”

The song was prompted by a visit to Santiago from a British consultant who, with his ample beard and burly physique, reminded Parra of Santa Claus—a Santa bearing a “hidden gift, cybernetics.” https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LqNkGP0mN08J:https://… Cached reposts the Devils putwillies

Once, long ago, I invented spamming lists. Now, this may sound boastsome, but I can reveal the truth: I "invented" this only because I was in a tiny dissociated context. Other people had invented it prior.

The last big secret of Western Intelligence
by professor rat 26 Dec '22

26 Dec '22

Why is this taking so long? Where are all these black-box machines that kill secrets hiding? The 5-VEY ( Hawaii Five Eye ) that often grows other temporary ' eyes' in Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Africa, Europe, Latin America, etc has a neat arrangement that negates all local laws forbidding domestic espionage. Its like a perfect ' Strangers of a train ' murder. But why is it taking so long to get the details of this? Such as how many domestic spying excursions were requested by the US and fulfilled by the UK? ( Or Canada's spy service. Or another's ) And how many went the other way? Presumably these black-bag jobs are ' safe, legal and rare ", only without the ' legal ' part. TL/ DR Any word from Western Intelligence? IF THERE IS SUCH A THING!

It may be hard to imagine that ESG, now a hotly debated topic in American politics, traces its roots back to a former UK tabloid reporter and a 45-minute meeting in a fifth-floor office in Geneva (United Nations).

ESG = environmental, social, and governance What are the 3 pillars of ESG? Use of or dependence on fossil fuels. Use or management of water and other resources. Pollution levels. Term dates from 2004 after global demonstrations ( including anarchists ) shut down the WTO, WEF and turned around the World Bank. A new world economic order FROM BELOW enabled by net communications and coordination. Not so much anti-globalization and anti-free-trade as pro sustainable globalization and pro fair-trade. As for that useful journalist - we ought to have them stuffed - THEY BELONG IN A MUSEUM.

BTW - now we're at war with the CHEKA its a good time to kill all known red-fascists. John Young. James Donald. Tariq Ali. John Pilger. All the known ' commissar's '. Death to Marxist-Communism.

There, he and a small team of United Nations staffers coined in 2004 what’s now become one of the most controversial acronyms in finance. Their aim was to get investors and bankers to weigh key risks such as the earth’s rising temperatures, labor disputes and corporate malfeasance, and determine their impact on profits. Using the language of the capital markets — risks and opportunities — ESG was meant to pivot away from socially responsible investing and appeal to Wall Street. But then ESG morphed into a label that was everywhere, and it came to mean different things to different people. The three letters were added to stock funds, bond issues, corporate ratings and Wall Street derivatives worth trillions of dollars, creating confusion and disagreement that left the acronym vulnerable to attack. First, industry insiders criticized environmental, social and governance investing claims for being little more than a marketing gimmick. Regulators were next to crack down on money managers making hollow claims. And then the Republican onslaught began, with US presidential hopefuls saying ESG is something peddled by “left-wing radicals,” while states including Florida pulled money from BlackRock, Wall Street’s biggest ESG proponent. With the backlash reaching fever pitch, sustainable investors called for a course correction. Others sounded the death knell for the acronym. Bemused by the assault is Paul Clements-Hunt (pictured here), who led the UN team that created the ESG label more than 18 years ago. He said the attacks on their invention are in fact a “good thing.” Rather than being upset, he said he’s decided to “relax and enjoy the warring parties attack and defend ESG in equal measure.” Read our interview with him about the future of ESG at the link in our bio or visit: bloomberg.com/green 📷: Jose Sarmento Matos/Bloomberg View all 8 comments
