I love this! Are you in professional broadcasting at all? I could listen to you talk for a long time, your voice and speech patterns are very mellow and soothing to me, and what you say is very clever and interesting. Thank you for sharing!! !

You have to enclose it in youtube tags, look at the first post, alex tells you how to do it.

Ok, thanks, I did it.

I think your video is very good, SilentJohn. It really impresses me.
Is that you in the video?

Two thumbs up!! ! I could see you were really nervous, like me. I'm afraid my future as a video blogger is pretty dim .

Well, when you put it like that I guess I did learn a fair amount about the philosophical/psychological/rational stuff. My favorite economics thing I learned about was how children learn about economics. There was a guy who took Piaget's stages of development and used them to explain how kids learn economics. It was VERY cool. I think about that quite a bit now that I have kids. It used to be that kids would say "mom and dad get their money at the bank" and now they say "mom and dad get money from the ATM or they use a credit card". My kids say, "Dad has to work to make money". LOL. Because I make a point of telling them. My daughter always asks great economics questions like "How do toys get in the store?" Of course the whole Santa thing totally messes with that. I mean Santa economics just doesn't work. So this year I had to explain to her that Santa couldn't bring her a "Fur Real Butterscotch the Pony" because it costs too much. LOL. But SANTA can afford EVERYTHING! I'm sorry about $240 is just too much for one gift. As it was she got an $80 doll called Amazing Allysen that she played with once and decided the voice annoyed her! AGGG.

Sorry, I'm blathering now.

I loved that scene in A Beautiful Mind in which John Nash comes up with his theory of economics that won him that Nobel. It's one of my favorite movies ANYWAY. He's SO asperger.

Blathering is okay. And just to get technical, John Nash came up with the Nash Equilibrium which plays a huge role in game theory, which is a great deal more to do with math than anything else. It was applied to economics to help explain human behavior, which is why he won for Economics, but he didn't come up with a Theory of Economics...But I love Game Theory and my economics professors hate Game Theory since it is so math heavy. They prefer curves and arguing over opportunity costs and internalizing externalities... That scene in A Beautiful Mind is my favorite, too. (And he's actually Schizophrenic.)

Well I'm the mom to a kid who has Asperger Syndrome. Does that mean I'm allowed to know the tricks? My husband has a lot of asperger tendencies but it's really hard to tell because his little bag of tricks is so full and convoluted. I figured it out after my son got his diagnosis. Then I remembered my husband saying, "I did everything right, so why are they mad at me." Because human beings often don't follow the formula you're using to guide your behavior. Still, most of the time his formulae are very successful. When he was a kid he wanted people to like him so he went and looked up the meanings of everyone's name in his class. People LIKE that kind of thing so with these kinds of strategies people tended to give him the benefit of the doubt even when he was being "different". I don't have enough asperger characteristics for a diagnosis. I tend more toward ADHD, but I have a lot of sensory stuff. Anyway, so I'm here. I really enjoy watching the videos and talking to people with asperger syndrome which, I assume, is why I ended up married to the man to whom I am married. Once a counselor told me "I don't think he has it in his programming to cheat on you." It's so true. LOL. It's sometimes difficult, but there really are a good number of positive things I know I can always expect. He would rather be at home with his wife and kids than "out with the boys". He doesn't have friends like that.

For my second youtube video I decided to investigate some of the claims made in another posters video. To find out why he was so darn hyped up on a certain brand of cereal what follows is a shocking revelation exposing the cereal industries dirty secret.
