... Thread… Here’s my basic understanding of the model: the economy has some industries that are capital intensive and others that are not. When the central bank makes interest rates artificially low, it makes capital investment cheap and skews the economy toward capital intensive sectors. ...
... If that were true, then 2009 would have been a time when low-capital industries were aggressively hiring laid off construction workers. That did not happen on any significant scale. Even industries far from housing laid off workers or at least froze hiring in late 2008 and 2009. ...

... I also think this chart is consistent with the explanation I prefer—that causation mostly runs from bad macroeconomic policy to a housing crash, rather than the other way around. ...
... If the Fed had cut rates more aggressively in 2007 and early 2008, we would have had a much smaller housing downturn. Real housing prices in the US are now around where they were at the 2005 peak. Home prices in Canada, the UK, France, and the Netherlands are even higher than 2005. ...

... Traits like ultra-altruism, large-scale cooperation, longing for belonging to a group, and intergroup aggression are hard to explain through individual gene selection alone. ...
... In comparison, Darwinian group selection (direct gene selection at the group level) has too many contingencies and, thus, is much less probable as the main selection force for these traits. ...

... Cortical columns, which are groups of neurons in the cerebral cortex, are thought to play a role in processing and classifying sensory information. They do this by receiving input from sensory organs and then making predictions about what this input represents. ...
... These predictions are then compared to the actual input, and any discrepancies between the two are used to update the column's understanding of the sensory information. ...
... Overall, your hypothesis captures some of the key principles of how the brain processes and classifies sensory information, and it is generally consistent with current understanding of this process. ...
... However, it is important to note that the brain is a complex and multifaceted organ, and our understanding of how it works is still evolving. There may be additional factors and processes at play that are not captured in your hypothesis. ...
