but the next one is what i call collective irrationality. here i am a size the voters ignorance about public issues and a literature that many of you have encountered in one way or the other, the basic research was conducted and has now become a much discussed situation even in the halls of congress. miniview have relied heavily on this literature in the third literature is one of the undeveloped by my colleague here, which he calls cultural cognition. what he means by that is that on a large number of public issues when he tests for people's views on these issues, he finds the bases are almost entirely insensitive new information. the people come to these issues with preconceived cultural stereotypes and ideologies, and they are very difficult to navigate and you can pretty much navigate and predict what those ideologies are on climate change or abortion or any number of other issues where evidence might alter the opinion of a rational individual. another systemic problem is for information and this is, i hope, no surprise to you, i hope th

sometimes in the intensive care setting, yet we are calling and outpatients read this constant lies in irrationality and thus created safety and quality of care concerns. medicare patients are being built differently than other patients for equivalent services there are subject to paying deductibles and copays associated with part b benefits which could be up to 20 percent of their hospitalization. think they're coming in for hospital care. we have had patients who actually laughed and refused important diagnostic studies and medications as a result of increased financial risk. the two midnight rule is especially devastating for academic and safety net hospitals there has been a reduction in inpatient volumes which was redirected dollars causing a loss of and for critical community programs and direct medical education, general medical education and disproportionate payments and a time when even the most. since its inception rac has created enormous financial and administrative burden on hospitals as william kirk -- struggle to respond to the plethora of medical record requests and to the denial. ra

the decision to not attend college for fear that it's a bad deal is among the most economically irrationally decisions anybody could make in 2014. the much discussed cost of college does not change this fact. according to a paper by the journal of science, the true cost of a college degree is about negative $500,000. over the long run, college is then free. free.aper than marion, tell us your story. caller: my daughter graduated in 2012 from ece with a bachelors in nursing. ecu with a bachelors in nursing. she got a job right away. she got on the floor at the rehab unit. -- didid she have that? she have debt? caller: she had some debt. not a tremendous amount. degree a liberal arts before and she used that to get ecu.th host: did she have many options for jobs? for quite aapplied few jobs. she wanted to work at the hospital here because it serviced 30 counties and had a big trauma center. host: what is she making? caller: pay wise? i'm not sure. around $26 an hour. she is on her own. now, she is volunteering at the doctors office. she is going back to school to apply for her nurse practition

said may i share russian everyone's in danger exactly george i mean it's to me it's to the point of irrationality i mean it's like looking for the boogie man out there looking for mysterious are means looking for mysterious strategies. rational yes i agree with you peter. it's it's strange that the west increasingly lives in a time warp it's as if it's unable to think of itself in any other way than fighting against hitler and stalin i mean forever hitler is in the bunker stalin is ruling in the kremlin and the west has to stand up i mean it's as if the west can think of itself in any other way but defining itself against the the enemy and i think this is this is feeding into the russophobia i think there's something else that's going on here and i think that not only is russia opposed many of the western military interventions of the past twenty years. and it has built up alternative forms of economic and political corporations such as the brics nations but also russia particularly since the arrival of the timea putin has stressed a certain continuity in history i mean it has elected to suggest

disconnected from british incomes and a strain incomes could go on for quite a while it's that that it is of irrationality could actually succeed to some substantial time what fascinates me is the point you made about the o.e.c.d. coming out warning about bubbles because these a lot of the conventional economists who actually would cheerleaders for the bubble the last time around denying that it existed now they're admitting it existed. i think that's sort of see the dead actually generated generated frankenstein's monster why did behavior during the the two thousand bubble so there's an extent to which the economics professional pots of the one to mistake but they have on this monster of belief in iran zinga said process and of course the central banks and particularly and governments like the government with the what i prefer to call help the cells to name a fuel debacle so with it is a crazy crazy world as you say it's like living in a couple of parallel universes that actually intersect and crash each other all the time and it's a weird world to be living in yeah i want to stay on the snowy c d commen
