RE: Changing the narrative – how to talk about climate change

in #science5 years ago

I suppose that, as Thaler and Sustain argue, putting people in the position to choose is not always wise, and remaining neutral is not always possible!

Yeah, I thought about that as well. But this mainly refers to situations with too many options to choose from and no idea about which might be the beneficial one. I tend to think that many public officials don't even know about it - but I somehow doubt that, especially in the US. Sunstein was even working with the Obama administration a couple of years ago, so there should be at least some kind of awareness.

Thank you for your reply Ego. It's very nice to have you around Steemit. It means more quality content among us :)

I didn't know Sustein worked with the Obama administration. I knew he was doing some advising work for the British government a while back. It puzzles me how these governments have people like that working for/with them and their policies and approaches, in the end, don't seem to reflect much of their work.

Well, to be fair, I am saying this based on just my very narrow perspective. What I gather from the media, really.

I do hope you find the time to write more for your Steemit blog in the future Ego :*

Much love to you always!
