i guess one thing that really interests me in life is how people have reasonable & unreasonable fears (well i guess no 'fear' is reasonable but let's say people will manage risks based on perceived risk w/out a real sense of perspective) so what i was wondering was whether or not ppl realize how 'dangerous' drunk walking could be or if freakonomics dudes were just blowing that up for the sake of a hook into a partic. chapter of the book. Like, perceived risks vs. actual risks is something i wonder about a lot (like irrational fear of flying when people are more likely to die in a traffic accident -- sometimes received wisdom is actually wrong! and you don't need flawed statistical analysis to prove it)

the first time deej casually said "Mizay" to me like i was supposed to understand exactly what that name means was right after he declared "there's no way a dude like Lil Durk has as many actual youtube views as Bo Deal" and i was like okay man i don't have the right tunnel vision for this conversation

some people watch SNL, some people listen to brick squad

i'm gonna call you mr. burn because there's no way i can come back from that slow-burning 15 minute zing

not everything is a zing.

maybe u should try 'dropping it' though

deej you should take out daniel kahneman's 'thinking, fast and slow' from the library

ha it's funny you brought this up cuz "you're more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash" is biased in probably very similar ways that the drunk walking vs drunk driving was

you mjisspelled bjters

Thought I was on De Subjectivisten for a minute there.

that looks interesting, although part of the amazon write-up kind of made me think of the book on elbows

well i think its definitively true though in a way their study doesn't seem to be

yeah, was gonna say. deaths per traveler, per trip and per mile traveled are all higher by car, iirc

well both planes and cars should banned obv

it's true, ornithopters all the way

I want to join this argument cause it involves math and cars but I am having trouble understanding what is going on

also I don't care about chris brown

(drunk walks away)

lamp is right tho everyone should read kahneman

im reading reviews now, partly b/c i was trying to figure out to what degree that was a lamp zing

it's prob a zing tbh but if all ilx zings were educational we would be much better off

yeah i mean hes not blowing my mind that 'mr smarm' wasn't a 'zing' that i used 'system 2' to come up w/ here that was kind of my point

but if he was just responding to the drunk driving v drunk walking thing then fair play

er, system 1. i have those numbers backwards

i wish i could be given the linda problem again w/out knowing the outcome

ny times should have spoiler alerts

I was gone for a little bit did deezy and somedude get back together

no but deej said i "beat up on" him in the chris brown thread without a trace of self-awareness, it was pretty amazing

don't touch my iphone!

now you're trying too hard. make it seem effortless xp

it's the difference between using system 1 for zings and system 2 for zings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7pZZGHLQfw

or system 1 v 2 for ilxing more broadly

lol wait you started a thread about kahneman deej http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=83725

knew that name sounded familiar lol

apropos of nothing, "Al's Beef" presents itself as chicago's #1 italian beef franchise

beef is when al sees you deej

lol I actually thought of that a long time ago and like four times now I've almost posted an Al's Italian Beef jpeg but I figured only deej would appreciate it

i sort of wonder to what degree these books -- and the Times review sort of touches on this -- serve to just make us that much more self conscious

i have an olive complexion but no italian genes afaik, no passantino

where was that

Independent Spirit Awards is my guess.
