As I write this, the dow is down 430 points, below 10,000 for the first time in four years. Tyler Cowen has published his list of what went wrong, with which I largely concur. Another way to think about it is as a series of cognitive errors that afflicted everyone: investors, home buyers, lenders, regulators. They're standard cognitive errors that so far, no one has a very good way of eradicating:Recency effect: People tend to ...Shared by Adam (9) Andrew Barnett (1) Bill (20) Eugene Eric Kim (8) Greg (18) Kevin Marks (24) lnewcomer (35)Contribute comment -

- Satyajit Grover said: Ha ha! xkcd disses Anathem, which I'm currently reading.
- Chris Miller said: Anyone who has heard me rant about the suck factor of most fantasy novels can get behind this one.
- danweasel said: I assume Shakespeare gets an exception too.
- Rodrigo Amaya said: Ridiculamente cierto...
- df said: So true.
- Roosh said: I'm reading Anathem right now and my only thought is "Oh God, this is soooo true"
- Ryan said: @M: funny you should say that. if you hold your mouse over the image and read the tooltip he says the same thing.
- MiramarMike said: Yes!
- Tom said: Fuck yeah! SciFi / Fantasy wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't for all those stupid new words. Are the authors 5?!?!
- Ian said: @Brandon: It (Anathem) is sitting on my shelf right now. I'll probably start it on the plane and let you know how it is.
- Tim Saylor said: I'm not sure how it works out, but this needs to be extended to extensive use of slang: "Yo' ole father doan' know, yit, what he's a-gwyne to do. Some- times he spec he'll go 'way, en den agin he spec he'll stay." - 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', unreadable novel

- pberry said: This does not bode well for Anathem.
- César C said: Primera vez que recuerde yo que no estoy de acuerdo con xkcd. Anathem no está nada mal (después de algo más de 150 páginas).
- Benjamin said: This is one of the reasons I never liked The Lord of the Rings.
- Dave said: Ummm, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE by Anthony Burgess anyone? That one novel breaks your thumb at the rule.

- Bill said: The mouse-over text deals with most of the obvious exceptions.

What am I so afraid of? (2)
onTyler Cowen lays it out:The best case scenario: The bad banks continue to be bought up, there is no run on hedge funds next Tuesday, only mid-sized European banks fail, money market funds keep on buying commercial paper, and the Fed and Treasury continue to operate on a case-by-case basis. Since Congress doesn't have to vote for something called "a bailout," it can give Paulson and Bernanke more operational freedom than they would have otherwise ...Contribute comment
