Not entirely convinced that outside the torment nexuses used in industrial meat farming, natural suffering is any lesser sans humanity.

Is anyone surprised when YouTube shows a million "you won't believe this one simple trick involving lemon juice to reverse diabetes" type ads? I'd be shocked if now was the time to have standards of any sort.

Topical, with RAGBRAI just around the corner. I'm constantly awed at just revolutionary the bicycle seems to be from an industrialization perspective. To me, bicycles and smartphones are two real thick lines to draw on when the world b

As much as I like to scientifically validate my drug dependency, is the EEG work here really that much more rigorous than a polygraph? I see a lot of domain specific terms like "FOOOF algorithm", filtering signal spectra etc. an

I can understand his distaste for the indefinite, but does he actually make a strong case for the opposite? To me this reads as claiming "making fragile choices is good", which outside of very niche situations I'd say is bad

This does make me wonder what kinds of secrets can and can't be kept; on the face of it, that a critical bit of insider information would be kept for oral transmission at particular times (something like a mystery cult) leads me to thi

Thank you for this; surprised I haven't heard much about him prior, since I've been digging into political economy lately. Specifically, his notes on consumption / full employment are refreshing - it never sits right with me

Is it worth the effort for any individual poster though? The unreachable segment (read only, doesn't comment) which already makes up the vast majority of audience is practically un-engageable. Among commenters, there's the blend

Reminds me vaguely of the end of brave new world in that living there would be to some a prison and to others paradise, and I'm not quite sure which bucket I'm in (or how to find out)

Growing up in one felt like prison. That is, until I started getting away on my bike. Until I got hit by a car.

My least favorite taxes right now are those that apply based on location. In theory, my tax return requires about 4 extra states and a few cities, and a bunch of state registrations, and my payroll provider doesn't support the operatio

Side note, but knowing that this is Michigan your story further cements my impression that the dealership cartels are unusually toxic in this state.

One bit of historical fuzziness I'd hope someone could clear up: How do the Georgist Progressives tie into 1910's progressivism tie into modern progressivism? I recall a bunch of Midwestern georgist mayors were called progressives

Isn't this mean reversion? The US seems to have exhausted much its cheap developable land near major city centers, and I think you'll eventually see the same pattern that seems to play out through the bulk of the world: Extremely

The consequences of having zero property tax are (maybe unintuitively) extremely awful. Ignoring all of the arguments regarding commons and market liquidity, you essentially cede enormous amounts of power to large landholders who can cheapl
