“I Have Never Heard Shiller Say That People Need to Divide By Two Either. My Take Is That Everyone Alive Should Want to Know Whether He Believes That This Is Required or Not. So We Should All Be Doing Everything in Our Power to Find Out.”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

I have yet to Shiller say that people should divide by 2. Secondly, I haven’t seen one single criminal act. Feel free to post a link to Shiller saying to divide by 2 and feel free to post links to the specific criminal acts you speak of.

By the way, I think my work is worth $1 Trillion. When should I expect to get my check?

I have never heard Shiller say that people need to divide by two either.

My take is that everyone alive should want to know whether he believes that this is required or not. So we should all be doing everything in our power to find out. If we permitted honest posting at every site, he would tell us and we would all be better off. Even those who didn’t believe that what he said was right would be better off because they would be better informed.

This is the entire story. Shiller gave us all an amazing gift with his Nobel-prize-winning research. But to open that gift, we need to permit honest posting at every site. So I am 100 percent in favor of doing that.
