About Me

Hello! I'm Alec Howe, a current Sophomore at Columbia University. My main interests are economics, politics, computer science, and photography. I also row competitively. I intend to use this blog in order to share my photography, discuss my observations about the world, and to help further my economic understanding.

I can be reached at alec.howe@columbia.edu.

Quarantine Sucks and Covid 19: Political Edition

Image
I’m self-quarantining. It sucks.             So, I’ve decided to stop moping about and get back to writing. I’m less motivated by a renewed interest in the craft and more by a desire to do something other than play Minecraft. On Sunday, I got back from Vermont after developing a minor cold on Saturday. My parents were not messing around – they promptly sent me to the basement sans hug. It’s now Tuesday and I’ve been informed that I should expect to remain here for at least fourteen days in total. Fair enough; I don’t want to mess around with Covid-19 anymore than anyone else does. But quarantine, or more specifically the social isolation that it comes with, is boring. So here I am.              My current plan is to try and write most days that I’m down here. I’ve found that increases in the quantitative-ness of my academic course load have correlated with a decline in my writing ability. So hopefully I can address that through this exercise. Additionally, the novelty of this

Prediction: Will Kamala Harris File to run for President before the end of 2022?

It is very unlikely that Harris would do this, even if Joe Biden intends to be a one term president.  Obama filed on April 4, 2011.    Bush filed for re-election on May 16, 2003.  There is some fear that if Joe Biden died, Kamala would become president and then file. It is unlikely that Joe Biden will die between now and 2022. According to the SSA's actuarial life table , the chance of a 78 year old man dying from now until he turns 80 is roughly 10% (5% + 5%). Worst case scenario, this should be priced at 90%. PredictIt currently prices the NO contract at 72%.  I would recommend buying in. Disclaimer: I have, and am currently continuing to build, a position in the NO contract.

A Call for the Continued Study of Critical Thinking

Behind the excitement of new friends and new parties lurks a fundamental conflict in the mind of the American undergraduate: do I learn to better myself or do I learn to get a job? Unfortunately, the classes that support the modern need for quantitatively skilled workers oftentimes do not overlap with those that fulfill the need to understand the human condition. And as STEM jobs have grown increasingly lucrative, the opportunity cost of taking creative writing has grown greater. Are the humanities an anachronism of a bygone era. During his time as President, Obama pushed multiple STEM educational initiatives and constantly reiterated the importance of a mathematically and scientifically literate population. Trump seems to be following in his footsteps. In a recent speech, Trump stated that “the workplace is changing, we need to create new pathways for our citizens to get the best jobs. Greater access to STEM and computer science programs will ensure our [children] have the skills
