The Most Hilarious Thing I Read This Morning
Chris F. Masse April 27th, 2008
A 6-year-old report about how he enjoyed being invited at Robin Hanson’s party —boring like hell.
Makes me think that the field of prediction markets should research more on data visualization. Kids like great visuals. Boisterous blogging adults haven’t computed that, yet. When’s the last time you saw great visuals at Marginal Revolution or Overcoming Bias?
Think data visualization, folks.
Bo Cowgill reads some blogs on that topic, I believe. He could give us some good links, one day.
UPDATE: Mike Linksvayer’s take on the Robin Hanson incident the Marginal Revolution post. (See also Mike’s comment, below.)

I’m afraid I don’t have a “take” on Hanson’s party/”incident” and indeed may not have been aware the party blogged about was put on by Hanson before now — I just used the MR post as a slender excuse to blog a peeve I’ve been meaning to for a long time. Totally uninteresting.
p.s. Wild animals with the potential to be human, I mean kids, are really poor indicators of interestingness. If it bores a kid, it just might possibly be interesting.
@Mike Linksvayer: OK. Will update a little bit the line.
