I can't remember if I posted a link to the Coursera class I'm taking because apparently I decided that my academic load wasn't challenging enough. But anyway, I started it, and I immediately thought "OH SHIT, CAIN WOULD LOVE THIS!"

I know you're way the fuck too busy to check it out this summer, but I thought I'd post the link in case you want to look at it in the future.

There's quite a few on there that may be of interest. I'm probably going to sign up for a couple for the course materials.

This looks quite good too:

Yeah, I think it will be an interesting and useful supplement. Especially with regards to economics, which I wanted to take but ran out of elective credits.

Thanks.  Yeah, neuroeconomics is pretty interesting.  Behavioural economists rely on findings from it quite a bit, and it has some overlap with decision theory and all the kind of stuff the LessWrong people talk about.

That said, I'm also considering the counter-terrorism one at Lieden University.  If I have the time.
