/life/learning/Accept This Uncritically, Comrade

We make three simplifyting assumptions, none of which affects our conclusions.

How does economics get away with this kind of thing? "Please ignore the man behind the curtain, and also in a chapter we expect you to have forgotten that we asked you to ignore the man behind the curtain."

Also, I ran 8km today. Huzzah.

If they only found three assumptions, I'd mistrust the results even if they did show they were unaffected.

8km is crazy. Congrats!

hit 10k yesterday. Lookin' for 15 tomorrow, but that strikes me as unlikely.

Who knew a bit of amphetamine in the morning would do such wonders?

16 Km! Wow, congratulations.

Also, wikipedia tells me that amphetamine is a racemic compound. No wonder you have to run!
