I was e-mailing to an #economists who used the formula log(x+y)=log(x)+log(y) in his paper, pointing out that it was wrong (should be log(xy)=log(x)+log(y)). He answered that it was not a problem, and other economists do the same. I confirm: his paper was not the first where I have seen this misuse of the logarithm.
Just to recall: that’s high-school math 🤯 #economics

This is culture surveillance. No one notices, no one consents. But it's not about catching criminals. It's about catching vibes. A constant feed of what’s popping off in real-time."
