Dorian’s fav quote from Friedrich Hayek
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.

Dorian has discovered that writing songs allows her to test her knowledge about the subjects she’s passionate about while communicating them to others in a fun and engaging way. She has written songs about math, quantum physics, and teeth-brushing — her most popular is a love song to dead Austrian economist, Friedrich Hayek, which gained unexpected popularity on YouTube in 2010.
be you.
