More evidence that unearned wealth is destructive.

Wall Street is not a free market and central banker corporate cronyism is not capitalism.

There is nothing like a fusillade of acateleptic verbiage to make even the most puerile asseverations seem the acme of sagacious perspicacity.

Gosh, even I’m going to have to drag out my dictionary for that one! You got me with acateleptic and asseverations! (and my spell check doesn’t like acateleptic).

Does anyone have any WTF he's talking about?
Yes.
"I study intertemporal choice with respect to environmental decisions. I wish to develop socially based interventions to help moderate excessive discounting."
Intertemporal choice is the study of the relative value people assign to two or more payoffs at different points in time. What he is studying is the decision of consumers to value price and environmental effects at either different stages of their lives or different stages of economic progress of a country. I presume the latter. As countries become richer, citizens and consumers can afford to begin to care about the environment and make choices accordingly. What Hall wants is to find a way to influence these decisions and push them towards focusing on environmental cost over what he perceives to be short term economic gain.
"am also especially interested in the organizing of research information for public use, and open access use of ideas for problem solving."
He wants to educate the public through a combination of open information (but probably tailored by proper leftist moderators as in Wikipedia) and groupthink in place of top-down centralized planning.
