Our lives are full of accusations of hypocrisy, yet little seems to change. Join "The Hypocrisy Trap" author @mhallsworth.bsky.social at @lsepbs.bsky.social on Wednesday, Nov. 19th, where he will discuss tools for moving from outrage to outcomes with Professor @liamdelaney2025.bsky.social:
The Hypocrisy Trap with Dr Michael Hallsworth
Dr Hallsworth will explore how the "hypocrisy trap" — our relentless drive to expose inconsistency — either breeds more hypocrisy or exhausts our belief in shared standards altogether.

Heard a quote once from someone (wish I could remember who) summarising behavioural finance work that said that stock markets reflect the mood swings of old rich guys. Can't remember a case before where they reflect the mood swings of one individual old rich guy!

Famine now unfolding in Gaza, says UN-backed monitor – Middle East crisis live
Airdrops are not enough to avert the humanitarian catastrophe, says the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative
Famine is “now unfolding” in Gaza, with thousands of children malnourished and hunger-related deaths on the rise among the youngest, a UN-backed monitor has said in an alert.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative (IPC) said that air drops over Gaza will not avert the “humanitarian catastrophe” unfolding across the territory.

Enjoyed back-handed compliments about talks over the years "I was going to go home when I saw it was an economist but you weren't too bad" from an audience member after a public talk a few years back my favourite. Famous public intellectual was "pleasantly surprised you have read around a bit".
