excerpt: In 2009, Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein published a book, called Nudge, on how government and other organizations could induce people to avoid common errors. Last year, Sunstein gave the Storrs Lectures at Yale on the topic, which will soon be published as a book called Nanny Statecraft. Last month, the Obama administration announced that it is creating a new team to explore applications of this sort of empirical research to policy-making.

So propaganda is okay.
Cass Sunstein can put it where the sun don’t shine.
He recently left the Administration and is now an employee of some university.
“where people segregate themselves so effectively online with other like-minded thinkers ‘
‘must not have freedom of association”
Only time before they “nudge” people to not believe in a god of any kind..
THEN; make it legal.. a law forbidding it..
It’s not FAR OFF.. budding Diocletian’s and Nero’s are being trained NOW...
Sunstein is so smart that the feral should just install radio-control receivers on all citizens and let Cass do the driving.
Let’s test it out, Momma Cass.
Why don’t you NUDGE obama’s people in Chicago stop killing each other?
Let me know how that works out.
“So propaganda is okay.”
Not exactly. HIS propaganda is ok. Yours, probably not.
They will probably eventually implement a lot of this stuff. I have come to the conclusion that what most people in this world want is a dictator that they mostly agree with.
Hey Brooks,you are a pussy,go jump off a bridge,that’s just a nudge,but before you do be sure to buy that Obamacare or you would have to pay a fine
You mean individuals gravitating to like minded AMERICANS who see their lives about to be destroyed,unlike those free thinkers at CNN,NBC,MSNBC,CBS,I SUPPOSE.
Haven’t heard a Damn original thought from the communist democrat party in my 63 years on this earth.How many times have you heard the uplifting message from them,going to starve the children,they love dirty air and water,racists and homophobes,right wing terrorists,extreme right wing.
If propaganda were not OK, there would be no NYT.
If propaganda were not OK, there would be no NYT.
Too bad we can’t “nudge” the Liberals to just sit down and STFU.
It isn’t just propaganda. It would be shaping policy, forms and interviews so it is hard to make a choice other than what the government wants. Examples:
* The defaults on online forms are what the government wants, and you cannot choose something else without going through painful exception workflows.
* Jokes about the 1970s Mormon curtain and other rules making alcohol purchases challenging would become real world limitations by design on buying everything from soda to cigarettes to guns.
* You cannot opt out of obesity management programs without three reviews or horrific notices that you’ll never receive certain types of care again.
* We already see this with Agenda 21 - replace existing car lanes with bike lanes both to encourage people to walk or use public transit while making people hate cars.
Nudging- brought to you by Cass Sunstein and his wife Samantha Power
Heck of a keyword : nudge , nudging, nudged
...and today folks complain about Cambridge Analytics
Cass maried Samantha Power in 2008 a year before the guy comes up with this Nudge book.
Intellectual Yet Idiot!
