Advice from a famous economist: “Go to Silicon Valley and talk to tech execs there. It will give you a sense of how people often feel talking to economists. The arrogance and self-assuredness is simply astounding, and it’s a cathartic experience to see it from the other side”

Last month I received a one-line referee report that I enjoyed passing on to the authors: "This is a nice paper. You should be proud of it" [This was after a major revision, so a full report was certainly not necessary; if I got this, I'd print it out & tape it to my monitor]

Great quote from Justice Gorsuch: "If the gov't finds filling out forms a chore, it has good company. The world is awash in forms, and rarely do agencies afford individuals the same latitude in completing them that the gov't seeks for itself today." supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…

Told my zipline guide that I taught economics, and he asked “What’s the one thing I need to know in economics?” I panicked and didn’t give an answer before I had to zip away to the next platform. What should have I said?
