what's -- how would you position your thesis relative to sunstein's thesis from republic.com?hat's the same, what's different? >> guest: well, sunstein, you know, especially in the first round that people are most familiar with, with talking about the sort of explicit self-selection i'm a neo-nazi who's going to the neo-nazi news online, and, you know, i'm getting indoctrinated, or i'm amping myself up, and i can exclude the whole rest of the world. i think the number, you know, the first thing that's different about this is that it's, it is this passive experience. it's not that people have to seek it out or know they're making decisions that shape what they see, it's just encreesingly -- increasingly visiting web sites that -- you don't see the internet at work, and you're certainly not making that decision. i think the decision is important because i think, you know, understanding what the editorial sensibility that you're dealing with is important. i mean, i think if you're trying to see what the world is knowing ah, yes, i'm looking at this through fox news, probably not

how would you present your thesis next to sunstein on republic.com?>> guest: especially in the first round people are most familiar with talking about the sort of explicit self selection. i am a neo-nazi who is going to the news online and even getting indoctrinated, amping myself up and i can exclude the whole rest of the world the first thing that's different about this is that its fourth pass of experience people don't have to know they are shaping to see what they see increasingly they visit websites and it needs to be relevant or interesting you see the editing and that is important because of understanding with the editorial sensitivity is important. if you are trying to see what the world is, knowing yes i'm looking at this firm fox news not about obama i should make sure i'm not looking at is that msnbc, so that part about selecting the filters through which you see the world, he has that as people are going to go out and do this you don't even get to that. when you hear people talk about the future of tv. the future of tv show after show some

what -- how would you position your thesis relative to sunstein 's republic.com >> guest: talking aboutort of an explicit salles selection, i am a neo-nazi who is going to the news online and even, you know, i'm getting indoctrinated and ending myself up and i can exclude the whole rest of the world i think the first thing that's different about this is that it is this passive experience it's not that people have to seek it out at all or know that they are shaping -- making decisions that shape what they see. it's just increasing the they view the web sites and it's the kind of step that seems to be relevant or that you don't see the editing at work and are not making a decision but i think that decision is important because i think, you know, understanding what the editorial sensibility that you're dealing with these important. if you are trying to kind of see what the world is knowing i'm looking at this through fox news, probably not going to have good stories about obama. i should watch that and make sure that i'm not -- looking at this on msnbc and, you know -- so, that part about

cass sunstein. [applause] >> thank you, roger, for that incredibly kind introduction. a special thanks to michael greenstone for inviting me. he was extraordinarily colleague when he was in the head and attrition as the chief economist and it was an honor and pleasure to get to work with him. with respect to oira i will tell you a story. i met my wife and mother of my little boy on that campaign and when we work almost been dating, in that stage, she asked me at our first dinner if i could have any job in the world other than law professor what would it be, good predate question. hoping england subsequently that i would say i would play center field for the boston red sox or backup guitar for bruce springsteen and as she tells the story and i'm afraid it's true i looked off with a storyline and said oira. after irca she responded some version of what the heck is oira. i don't know she actually used the word hecky and a men's and the i did get a second date but that exchange was an obstacle. [laughter] okay. as you may have noticed in the last year and last month's espe

some sunstein himself does not believe that these agencies are directly subject to the executive order and that is in order to prevent any president democrat or republican from overreaching the authority. as we hear from these agencies on the regulatory review efforts, i think we need to keep a few thoughts in mind. first of all, these agencies were created originally as independent entities from political the influence, and we've given them decision making flexibility that other agencies do not have. second coming in respect of the dixit of order as i mentioned there are a number of statutory requirements concerning transparency and efficiency in the regulatory process that already apply to the independent agencies. for example, the regulatory flexibility act requires federal agencies including independent agencies to analyze the impact of the rules on a small organizations. the administrative procedure act broadly leaves out the scheme under which agencies proposed and finalize regulations and provide public participation in the rulemaking process. finally, it's important to remember

somebody at a party i think that's doesn't get much more orwellian than that but what we have cass sunstein of course this is old news the white house regulations are has wrote that we need to have a government agents infiltrate conspiracy theorist and in flood the forums flood the social networks the comment boards the comment sections on articles to skew the discussions but i think some of the technology is evolved so fast some people don't think of the consequences and so that's part of this educational system we need to learn to adapt to this new technology one of the downsides of this what what what what it does so obviously a tremendous tool for social networking social media sharing family photos and information but there's also tremendous downside with this new technology so we can't just run around thinking that it's all going to be good we have to look at the downside we have to be aware. but we have to take precautions to prevent some of these things from happening ok my question because i can see in my head a rational difference between a journalist hacking into my private voice
