YouTube video by American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) The March of History: Mises vs. Marx - The Definitive Capitalism vs. Socialism Rap Battle

On this day in 1881, Ludwig von Mises was born. Here is a video we show every year in lesson time that compares his views vs. Marx. We think it's a great video to get a conversation started & there are lots of economic terms in there.. #EconSky youtu.be/QwqnRYPcrl0?...

As Adrian Smith, President of the Royal Society said earlier this year: "There have always been attacks on science, but today there are genuine concerns that we may be turning our backs on research and the values of calm, evidence-based debate and decision-making.

Sometimes, I visit YouTube looking for some visualisation of (applied) mathematics techniques. I know 3blue1brown, so good. But, someone here knows a good YT channel focus in Machine Learning ???

Why would anyone want to be a scientist?

"Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind and spirit, yet is consistently filled with failure and rejection."

How the World’s Political Economy Works How the world's political economy works, a reading list from Brown University's Mark Blyth.

"If you look at economic textbooks, the whole world is meant to work according to the logic of differential calculus; there are these reciprocal relationships – one side goes up and one side goes down. But deep within it there’s a paradox."

Economics and the Environment If you want to take an economy that's wholly dependent on fossil fuels and turn it into a low-carbon one it's going to be expensive, says economist Dieter Helm—and the sooner we face up to that…

"So economics and the environment shouldn’t be separate subjects. But they are, because what many economists do is focus on this allocation as if it were a GDP problem."

The Global Food Scandal The campaigner and historian says that Western countries waste more food than they consume. Believe him: he survives off food scavenged exclusively from supermarket bins

"The reality is that there’s a grotesque imbalance: in the US, more food is fed to livestock than is eaten by humans. Globally we use about 1.2 billion tonnes of fodder to rear livestock."

YouTube video by UW-Milwaukee Department of Mathematical Sciences Walter B. Rudin: "Set Theory: An Offspring of Analysis"

If you think about sets as "collections of objects", you are painfully wrong.

This naive approach to set theory quickly led to a discovery that upended mathematics and caused an enormous crisis. (At least one.)

Meet Russell's paradox.

And the paradox of saving?

Why Is Elon Musk destabilising UK and EU politics? Elon Musk’s recent interest in disrupting EU and UK politics can seem a bit of mystery. But as  Damian Tambini argues, what lies behind it is the same reason Musk has formed an…

Why is #ElonMusk determined to disrupt EU and UK politics, from supporting Germany's AfD to resisting EU and UK regulation of his platform, X?

The same reason he's backed #DonaldTrump: his own economic interest.

Labour to make national curriculum more ‘diverse’ Bridget Phillipson starts review to ‘refresh’ education programme so it reflects ‘diversities of our society’

Good to see a mention here of our response to DfE's curriculum review. If we really want students to be enthused about maths and stats, they need to be shown real-world data on real-life topics such as gender inequalities, social media etc

Some individuals use statistics as the drunken man uses lamp posts: for support rather than for illumination.
