	The Now Economy: Fortune magazine profiles Robin Hanson
		Robin Hanson is a married, 44-year-old father of two who teaches economics at George Mason University, a commuter school with aspirations that's plunked amid the affluent sprawl of northern Virginia.
		Hanson's brainchild was roundly condemned by several U.S. Senators, derided by the likes of Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and bond guru Bill Gross, and lampooned by late-night talk show hosts.
		Hanson would have preferred to create a real-money exchange—the great advantage of real markets is that traders must put their money where their mouth is in a way that the "experts" we usually rely on to forecast events do not.

		Hanson received a B.S. in physics from the University of California at Irvine and an M.S. in physics and an M.A. in the philosophy of science from the University of Chicago.

		One of those economists is Robin Hanson of George Mason University.
		Robin, let's talk about another example of where this has worked particularly well in practice, and that's with predicting elections.
		HANSON: A group of people at the University of Iowa have the Iowa electronic markets, and since 1988 they have been predicting U.S. presidential elections and the primaries and a bunch of other elections.

	Overcoming Bias: Beware Heritable Beliefs
		Robin writes, summarizing the paper, your differing attitudes on abortion, birth control, immigrants, gen...
		Robin: Is it really rational to reject beliefs resulting from a process (or a prior) uncorrelated with truth, in the absence of an available process or prior more correlated with truth with which to replace it?
		Hanson's Rule: If, based on aggregate evidence, it is more likely than not that the deviation from the mean of my belief on issue N is attributable to non-reasoned factors*, then I should modify my belief on N to the mean.

	Is our universe about to be mangled? - space - 23 February 2006 - New Scientist Space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		He has not worked out exactly what happens, but he believes the small universes would be either destroyed or assimilated by the large universes, like specks of dust colliding with a planet.
		Hanson says there is a cut-off between small worlds that become mangled and large worlds that do not, and that most universes are near or below this line.
		Physicists who have studied Hanson's idea say it is interesting, though preliminary and probably flawed.

	Marginal Revolution: Diet Pork
		Posted by Robin Hanson on August 10, 2005 at 08:46 PM in Political Science
		Robin Hanson, guest-blogging at Marginal Revolution, correctly points out that pork is attractive because it concentrates benefits within a congressional district but diffuses the costs across the country.
		Posted by: Robin Hanson at Aug 11, 2005 8:28:59 AM Because district-specific spending is really only a very small part of overall federal spending, your proposal would have an insignificant effect on spending.

		Contributors include Robin and also Nick Bostrom, my favorite young philosopher.
		That said, I do not go as far as Robin in my desire to preach truth-seeking.
		I view Robin as believing in a kind of Archimedean point, from which we could be objective truth-seekers if only we had the will.

	usnews.com: Technology: Next News: Chief economist at Starfleet Command (7/30/03)
		In the background of the Pentagon's controversial–and now defunct–plan to create a futures market to predict terrorist strikes is a little-known George Mason University economist named Robin Hanson.
		Visitors to Hanson's Web site will find plenty of academic papers supporting these and other notions, including his belief that all major government policies should be determined by betting markets such as the Policy Analysis Market.
		Now given Hanson's areas of interest, I thought he would be the perfect guy to comment on a prediction that's been crawling around the Web in recent days.

	Cato Unbound » Blog Archive » Reality and Fantasy in Economic Revolutions
		Robin Hanson is associate professor of economics at George Mason University.
		The true structure of technologic revolutions, Hanson says, is not that of massive paradigm shifts precipitated by Florida’s lauded bohemians, but is rather the accretion resulting from ordinary, mundane discoveries of small improvements—unsung and unsexy.

	Cafe Hayek: Hanson, Caplan, & Knight
		Bryan Caplan links to Robin Hanson's comparison of "the abject deference the public gives to physicists with the stubborn defiance the public gives to economists." Robin is right-on.
		On topics so esoteric that nobody outside the field understands or cares, there's no reason to dispute an expert, but that lack of dispute doesn't indicate agreement, just indifference.
		Robin Hanson picks one example that no one cares about (because string theory has no application to the material world yet), and unjustifiably extends it to all of the physical sciences.

	EconLog, Robin Hanson on Health Care, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The benefits of saving the infant's life outweigh the costs of all the waste, but you would not necessarily find in a cross-section regression a relationship between more spending and better outcomes.
		Thus, this hypothetical example is consistent with both David Cutler's claims of huge benefits of medical care over time and the results that Hanson cites of estimates of benefits in cross-section that are close to zero.
		Another way to put this is that I do not take it as literally true that the average benefit of medicine is zero.

		Case in point: Hanson's "Warning Labels as Cheap Talk: Why Regulators Ban Products." (Journal of Public Economics 87(9-10):2013-2029, September 2003) Simple version: Regulators typically have more "goody-goody" values than the public.
		I don't think Robin has the whole story, but it did keep coming back to me. And then I had my house built, and learned that I had a choice to get a radon vent.

		We may be as ants to the post singularity intelligences, but even so, we may be able to successfully predict some aspects of their behavior, just as ants are able to do with humans.
		And by his response to Robin, and mention of _Metaman_ (which I've read.) Most of this will be recap, but perhaps presented differently.
		That section of "Staring Into the Singularity" (which Hanson quoted) was intended as an introduction/illustration of explosive growth and positive feedback, not a technical argument in favor of it.
