Bits and bobs | Krimskrams | Bibelot ^

• Some people think that mathematical models in economics are flawless in their logic. However, mathematicians and good economists know that mathematical reasoning has to be performed carefully and thoroughly or otherwise you quickly end up proving that 1=2. Do you find the logical fallacy?
• Scientists have puzzled over the question "Why do women live longer than men?" for quite some time. Here are some explanations for the difference in mortality rates.
• Keynesian economists are known to have great faith in the government. Even if you believe that the government is benevolent (are you really sure about that?) you have to agree with this evidence that at least sometimes public money is not invested well.
• If you consider Keynesians as bad you are likely to consider communists as worse. However, think about it again. Maybe communism is not so bad at all. It is definitely better than rocking with "The Man".

• Simply enjoy... Pi to 1'000'000 digits.

• After publishing first explanations on "Why do women live longer then men?" some women approached me, arguing that these explanations only showed that men were less intelligent than women. I disagee with this statement but can currently provide no evidence to the contrary (Well, I could but ...). However, I think the women who argue that men are less intelligent then them, have a certain agenda trying to hide the real reasons "Why do women live longer then men (II)".
• Proving that 1=2 was quite some fun. Let’s also prove that 0=1 in two ways. Do you find the logical fallacies?
