Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
I dove into work showing that highly credentialed experts can become so narrow-minded that they actually get worse with experience, even while becoming more confident—a dangerous combination. And I was stunned when cognitive psychologists I spoke with led me to an enormous and too often ignored body of work demonstrating that learning itself is best done slowly to accumulate lasting knowledge, even when that means performing poorly on tests of immediate progress. That is, the most effective learning looks inefficient; it looks like falling behind.
Lecture : sur l’ensemble des sociétés observées, la part du revenu total dont bénéficient les 10 % des revenus les plus élevés varie de 23 % en Suède en 1980 à 81 % à Saint-Domingue (Haïti) en 1780 (qui comprenait 90 % d’esclaves). Les sociétés coloniales telles que l’Algérie et l’Afrique du Sud se situent en 1930-1950 parmi les plus hauts niveaux d’inégalité observés dans l’histoire, avec environ 70 % du revenu total pour le décile supérieur, qui regroupe la population européenne.
