    @Ronya

    Since you had some time, any thoughts on my essays/notes I sent you?

    I posted some comments soon after in [chat], I thought!

    Lemme dig them up again...

    You did, just some quick thoughts. Wondered if you had any other thoughts since you said you were a bit busy.

    I'm a little reluctant to formulate any disputes because I don't think the arguments are constructed to be solid inasmuch as to demonstrate a literature review. Which is fair. You said you don't write to your own views either. I still disagree with much of the two essays, as I remarked earlier, but any good literature review will generate that. Otherwise there's nothing to motivate further talk :rotate:

    I will remark that the worldview taken is quite alien and the sensation I get often when reading political science talking about international trade - that the analysis is presuming a macroeconomics that deviates in important but subtle ways from any school of macro thought I know - lurks in both papers. Given that economists talking about the political aspects of international trade seem quite content to handwave as well, I sometimes wonder whether the lack of mutual awareness is leading us to miss something obvious.

    This last part I really agree with. I think there needs to be some combo of the two to get the whole picture but since both sides are happy sniping at each at best and ignoring each other at worst I don't think much will change. I am kind of sad I am going to run out of time so I won't be able to take International Trade and International Monetary Relations. So that will be my chunk of economics it seems.

    I wish there was a way to teleport you here for some of the Global Finance and Trade classes they have here. Its economist teaching poli sci students while kind of crossing the boundaries of both. I think it would kind of blow your mind.

    If you get a chance you should probably take a comparative politics class, would give you a basis to see where IR folks at least are coming from.

    The worst thing in politics is when a counterpoint / counter-argument / different plan is misrepresented. When it becomes comics, it makes me want to punch people.

    Why yes, ending poverty and building infrastructure in poor nations WOULD accomplish more than law enforcement!

    or, y'know, doing both

    not like they're mutually exclusive or anything

    No, of course not. But if one was to get the priority, there would be a larger return on investment on the former than the latter.

    My Dad taught me that the best song to have stuck in your head, and the one guaranteed to get all other songs out of your head, is the Hockey Night in Canada Theme. Not the new one, the old classic. You know the one?

    That is the song you want!

    I never watched Hockey Night in Canada. Hockey isn't my thing. :?

    I never had a choice in the matter

    Anywho:

    Now you are on the path to understanding meat-related death, my child.

    My rule: If the sandwich has nothing BUT meat on it, avoid it. Or you'll have little choice about when the forever-sleep comes.

    A chipmunk face is like overly attached girlfriend or something.

    Taylor Swift does not have that.
    What is it then because its like a rodent permanently sniffing.

    Rat face? But that doesn't really denote the adorability you're trying to convey.

    I don't really think she looks like any kind of rodent so idk.

    But "chipmunk face" cannot be the descriptor for both Taylor Swift and Overly Attached Girlfriend. If it is, it is as meaningless as the word "kooky".
