      1. Could we please and for the sake of showing the bare minimum of respect to our colleagues, avoid using insulting words like "stupid" when we disagree with an idea? It was completely possible to write the exact same thread without using this word Setting a bad exemple here imo @paulkrugman/1476551183414312971

      And I’m not advocating on the substance of the underlying debate I don’t have an opinion, and in a sense I don’t really care But the *way* we communicate our disagreement is setting the tone for the whole profession, especially from people with such an audience

    I don’t need to remind you how toxic econ is I’m not saying we should always sanitize every speech, but we could probably try to do marginally better – and see what happens Just in case it’s a better equilibrium than the current one. Who knows.
