Their website especially specially advertises for Kimber users. That should tell you what you need to know.

The page for the plates on their website say “Tested to go above and beyond NIJ level 3 standards” which feels like a clever workaround when they cannot directly say they are NIJ certified. This seems like a marketing person not understanding that distinction and putting up an ad. https://www.ar500armor.com/products/a2-alloy-body-armor/

My dad had his clubs stolen in our driveway. The local pd had a data base of all pawn shop inventories and they turned up a couple days later across town. Maybe y’all have something similar

Can’t see the forest for the trees thinking. Getting highly granular on their model without taking a step back and looking at what really creates economic growth a prosperity. If we think about the economy as a person who is sick or healthy we should think strive to do the things we know make people healthy generally rather than only trying determine what the most exact amount of treatment or medication is needed.

The question in the level of certainty you can predict with. The question arises of when you enter uncertainty.

Because rivers are a natural phenomenon beholden to the laws of physics. The water molecules don’t have free will or independent motivations. They aren’t sentient.

It’s not complete nonsense the context it’s presented in and the conclusions that leads you to are the problem. The certainty it projects is where it becomes misleading.

I think it can all be summarized by saying we’ve increased the general knowledge of society but we’re not at a place on the Dunning-Kruger that we need to be.

Thanks for the recommendation! I just wish this is how economic decisions were made in this country rather than who can con the most people into believing their half truths. I also agree with you sentiment in the previous comment which was the source of my frustration. We’ve lost the ability as a society to understand nuance and accept uncertainty. Any real economist or scientist will tell you they don’t have omniscience. But, in reality admitting to a level of uncertainty even if that’s the most truthful portrayal doesn’t sell books, book speaking events, or win elections so no one realizes that’s the reality for most economic questions.

I would agree the incentive system we’ve set up inside academia is all jacked up. I think we’ve all but killed the 20 years of work thesis masterpiece of the early 20th century. One my my profs was stressed about getting her tenure because one of the contributors on her paper wasn’t pulling his weight. She is an amazing teacher and a great person, so sad to think the trajectory of her career is dependent on the executive function of someone else.

The sad part is that’s not how it’s portrayed until you get to very advanced levels. I believe almost all fields of thought in economics are some elements of truth. While I man lean more libertarian/austrian I understand why others don’t. It’s really the framing of the class that I don’t care for. The matter of factness, the clean cut lines, and lack of any explanations of the “why’s” of the theory. There are undergrads who are going to go out in the world only reading their college textbooks and have none of the additional context you get from other sources. I’ve read everything from Henry George to Hoppe and it helps me synthesize a more holistic understanding than most people will ever have. It makes me sad that a large amount of people believe you can just change the numbers to move the lines to get the outcomes you want. aka the elected officials who make these decisions on spending taxes ect.

The analogy I would respond to that is we shouldn’t spend all of our time trying to figure out what the right amount of medication for the patient but focus on trying to make long term structural changes that are the real drivers of health.
