Suspicious Heuristics: Rule-based Ethics are Uneconomic, and Therefore Impossible
http://www.suspiciousheuristics.com/2013/12/rule-based-ethics-are-uneconomic-and.html
Friday, December 6, 2013. Rule-based Ethics are Uneconomic, and Therefore Impossible. Or: Why Objectivists are Wrong, and should try empathy instead. After an exchange with Prof. Dan D'Amico. What are rule-based ethics? Rule-based ethics are uneconomic. Ethical compliance can be seen as an economic good, and if so, why should it be beyond pricing? The only justification for an infinite price is that if some violations of the rule are allowed, then the rule as a whole will break down. A common liberta...

Suspicious Heuristics: March 2014

Friday, March 14, 2014. The eBay of Lodging: Is Airbnb sustainable? I've been traveling to conferences more recently, so cheap short-term lodging has been on my mind frequently. As a serial procrastinator when it comes to planning trips, I've become quite a fan of Hotwire. For finding discounted last-minute hotel rooms. But in a slightly smaller segment of the market, there is also Airbnb. Rumor is that Airbnb will be going public later this year, with an initial offering valued around $10 billion. But, ...

Thursday, June 19, 2014. That Post-Housing Bubble Kinda Feelin'. No, I'm not writing an economics blues song. I just took a walk around Durham, NC. I'm at Duke University right now to present at the ISNIE conference. It's a lovely campus and my hotel is just a mile away. To get a better feel for the neighborhood (and burn off some hor d'oeuvre. Calories) I went for a little jaunt around my hotel area. Here's what I saw in the span of two miles:. Five luruxy housing developments with many dark windows.

Suspicious Heuristics: May 2014
http://www.suspiciousheuristics.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2014. So, I'm writing this on. A hotel network connection which is very,. Very slow, at 768 kbps but it feels. Even slower. I can't even use gmail, or. Blogger with full functionality. Of course, for a paltry fee of $12.95 I can have access to full 5mbps internet speed which rivals my home connection. I doubt it costs the hotel much, if anything, to allow me this access. What's the difference between this business model and charging a flat fee to get on the internet, period?

Thursday, June 18, 2015. Back to the blog. Awhile ago, I made a personal resolution to not do any serious writing until my dissertation was done. As of a week ago, it's now finished! I'm now job-searching as well as writing for a second edition of my social media marketing textbook. But I think I have enough time now to do some blogging on the side. Anyway, here is the abstract to my dissertation (I plan to post more of the substance of it soon):. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Back to the blog.
