New Discovery Of World’s Oldest Stone Tools
“These newly discovered tools have been reliably dated to 3.3 million years ago, according to scientists who’ve reviewed the research. That’s 700,000 years older than the previous record for the oldest stone tools ever found. That’s remarkable because it’s well before the human genus, Homo, emerged 2.8 million years ago. So clearly these early humans didn’t make these tools. The team presumes they were made by an early ancestor of humans, probably a member of a genus called Australopithecus. The famous ape-like creature known as Lucy was from that genus and first appeared in Africa about four million years ago.”

Let’s Hope Not: on asymmetric information
“According to Hayek the superiority of a decentralized market economy – the main reason to live with all of the classical failures of market power, externalities, and public goods – is that it’s the most efficient system of collecting and aggregating asymmetric information. So the way we’ll really know that the age of asymmetric information is over is that the age of markets will be over too. That’s probably a long way off.”

People are too eager to say "This legendary person had flaws!" instead of, "Wow, this flawed human being managed to do something legendary."
