Hey guys I’m Sam. You may have read my post on the obesity epidemic. I studied econ, although I’d say I’m really only qualified to assert any expertise at all when it comes to financial markets. I’ve been on reddit for what, 10 years and have thus stumbled on here from time to time.
From me, you’ll probably see a lot of trying to figure out just what in the world is going on in a complex system, and then throwing my hands in the air. Also, you may see me going to logical extremes (“how about we model the universe as one atom going in a straight line the void”) both of these are habits from econ that die hard.
I have a particular focus on insightful and novel ideas (sometimes, i even have them), and I have a strong tendency to prefer what is simple and elegant as an explanation for nearly anything. You’ll probably find that i have a very detached style; this gets me in trouble in real life but this is the only place where it seems to go over well.
