Is there some reason you don’t think it would be?

“Market discipline is incredibly powerful, and very hard to fool for very long.”
If this is true, why do the mazes exist at all? Why doesn’t the market shed mazes (or the companies that don’t shed mazes)?
Along with WeWork, the Golden Globes (Oscars? One of the Hollywood awards shows...) had only vegetarian options for the meal.
“Why wouldn’t customers prefer a more efficient provider?”
What choice do they have? If mazes are inevitable, there is no non-maze provider.
I should state that I have loved this series and it matches my experiences and observations so I’m inclined to believe it. With that said....
″ Moloch still wins eventually, as eventually you have to compete with other hard-working non-maze-waste orgs. But that can take a long time, and the ramp is far more pleasant. ”
As best as i can tell your solution is “Don’t do non-maze things”. That there is some kind of ‘good Moloch’ that is possible. (Do you have any examples of that happening?)
Zvi has laid out his case for why this isn’t realistic. You may disagree, and I would love to hear where you think he has gone wrong. But it seems like you are dismissing his points and saying that you can willpower(?) your way out of this.
I truly mean this all in good faith and would love to figure a way out if for financial reasons alone ( I agree with your point that if someone could escape this, it seems like it would be very profitable. I just don’t see any solutions)
Not OP, but I’d be curious what important thing he should act on but miss because of this plan.
Can you tell me how you identify what is are historical events vs just noise?
How did you react to them and what would have been different if you reacted to said historical event a few days later?
So you can’t step away from media because you might miss some historical event that you have to react quickly too, but that’s never happened?
Do you think that you would find out about war, political instability, coups, dangerous diseases even if you didn’t have access to any kind of media?
Really glad you posted this.
What I’ve been doing since you posted is searching for individual bias and “replication” in Google Scholar. Turning up results for some of them. Would be cool to build a list of those.
I’m curious as to why you think it would drop at all. Or that people don’t already know that it’s a status symbol.
There’s an interview I’ve heard with Supreme Court Justice Scalia where he says he only looks at clerks from the big law schools. Paraphrasing him but something to the effect of “I don’t have time to take a chance on looking at other schools” Other places could have perfectly good clerks, but there was too great a chance that they weren’t.
I don’t know that I agree with his thought process, but I understand it. I don’t think he had any illusions about it being a status symbol. Indeed that was exactly why he was using it.
I think what you mean is what would happen if people knew it was “incorrectly” a status symbol. The answer to that would depend on, not only, why they made that determination *and* what the alternatives are. For example, if people think Harvard grads are 5 times better than other grads, but some bad publicity happens and now people only think Harvard grads are 3 times better than other grads....they’ll be OK. :)
I’m not sure if this reference will work,but...
If you think you can “Moneyball” status and hire Harvard caliber people without paying Harvard caliber wages, then the “Moneyball” story suggests people will follow that model pretty quickly.
You can only answer that question by including “compared to what?”
It would appear that, in this case, experience only taught what could have been learned with a better method of instruction.

Just out of curiosity....why?
Is there a reason there is a separate tag for akrasia and procrastination? Could they be combined?
What counts as a majority? Is it something I can just go do now?
My hypothesis would be that 3+ bedrooms are roommate situations and risks and costs are more distributed and, thus, a little more sticky.
In fact, it’s a mathematically impossible that future decisions have a range of options that’s larger than the previous decisions had
Can you expand on this because it isn’t obvious to me that this is true.
Its seems like it’s only impossible because that is how you’ve drawn it. Not that it isn’t actually mathematically impossible.
Why couldnt one of the final branches in your example be −100?
OP addresses space tourism in the post.
It wasn’t about being negative or not. My question works just as well with a positive number.
I was trying to get at what happens when the range of one of the final branches goes wider than another final branch.
If that is the case, then it is mathematically possible for a more recent hinge to be hingier than a hinge further back in time.
I’m interested
