Interview with Daron Acemoglu

By francescopagano74

Exponential technologies will change our world, for good. This is our opinion, as tech optimists.
Now, it’s always good to have a sanity check, or at least have a listen to the contrarian view.

His resume is impressive, and Acemoglu is today one of the most quoted economists on the planet.

Call me an idiot

By francescopagano74

My father was useless. A serial cheater, he dilapidated money like there was no tomorrow, hired proxies who catered to his self-inflated ego and derailed a marriage because he prioritized the ‘I’ and his vices to everyone else’s interests, including his wife’s. The hard truth lens would expose him as an idiot. Looking back through…
