@hamandcheese discipline-wise it would be quite unusual for someone of his age and w his academic CV to have read him

Most surprising thing in this interview is that Mansfield has never read René Girard
Conversations with Tyler@cowenconvos
Harvey Mansfield is a legend at Harvard. For 61 years his classes were famous for being both highly demanding and oversubscribed. Now 93, he’s released a new book The Rise and Fall of Rational Control based on his lectures from Government 1061, his signature course. That book, and this conversation with @tylercowen, begins with Machiavelli, who Mansfield credits with laying the foundation for all modern science. 0:00:00 - Machiavelli’s "Effectual Truth" 0:05:50 - Conspiracy as the basis for all politics 0:15:12 – Shakespeare and the vulgarity of democracy 0:21:12 - The future of Straussianism 0:44:58 - Why the supply of Great Books has dried up 0:49:37 - Rational control vs. spontaneous order 0:52:56 – Hearing Winston Churchill speak 0:57:20 – How students at Harvard have changed 1:02:34 – Death’s influence on politics Watch the full conversation here or wherever you get podcasts: youtube.com/watch?v=qIcNig…

Seeing folks entering the bargaining stage of denial where they move the goalposts from "pedophile ring" to "blackmail op" to "Can't deny Leon Black hit on a masseuse."
Instead of embarrassing yourselves this way, you could simply admit you fell for a mass delusion, gave up on norms of logic & evidence, were an irrational sucker.
You can promise yourself in the future not be such an infantile sucker.
English
@AliceFromQueens You're lying. We're not moving on from demanding action against the pedophile ring. Starting w/ un-redacting names of people who about trafficking 10-year-old girls.
English
@AliceFromQueens Thank god you finally showed up to defend the billionaire kid fuckers.
English
@AliceFromQueens You are an apologist for rich men who exploited and raped underage women.

Joe Kent & Tucker are essentially saying Trump just launched a catastrophic war on false pretenses, but they still can't stop kissing his ass: calling him so smart, courageous, such a great negotiator, even praising his Iran policy that set the stage for war. Servile and pathetic
English
@NickySimps I;m still waiting for the apology for your lie about me. I never said "nobody got raped on Epstein Island" or anything close to that. Epstein was a sex criminal and it was his island
English
@NickySimps He didn't reveal any such thing. He revealed the names of ppl cleared by the FBI
English
Here's a conspiracy theory you can have for free.
The war is actually about Iran, Russia, and the US colluding to destroy Arab oil and gas production, aka their biggest competitors.
The goal is to drive oil up to $200 a barrel and split the bounty among them
English
@AliceFromQueens That ur twitter is on light mode. Switching to dark was the best decision I made.

If this guy enters the 2028 Dem primaries, he's going to win.
Jon Ossoff@ossoff
Trump was supposed to fight for the working class. Instead, he's closing rural clinics and hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros and Elon Musk. This is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich.
English
@AliceFromQueens He could win, voters def like this and not just Ds. But he has no story. Gallego is stronger in that regard and is a better thinker which will show itself eventually. Several other real contenders too obvs.
English
There real problem here isn't the price per sq ft. It's that the couple made the only sunny pleasant room into their bedroom.
This is totally perverse
HustleBitch@HustleBitch_
🚨 SHE HAPPILY PAYS $3,175 A MONTH FOR A 350 SQ FT APARTMENT IN NYC — AND CALLS IT A “DEAL” — WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE INSIDE A woman just showed her NYC apartment… and you can basically see the entire place the second you walk in. Only ONE real window. No washer or dryer. Barely any storage. They had to add their own kitchen island… build extra storage… and stack shoes wherever they fit just to make it livable. She says she uses artificial lighting just to make it feel brighter… and hauls laundry down the street every week. And somehow… this is considered a “deal.” She says renovated units in the same building go for over $4,000/month. The part that’s blowing people’s minds? She says she loves it… and doesn’t want to leave. At what point does “living in New York” stop being the dream… and start feeling like you’re paying luxury prices to live in a box?

gay guy here, i don’t care about this, she was 15. you are ~40 and posted this in november. let’s talk about that

Hey @NYCMayor — what does your wife mean by "fgts" here?
English
@AliceFromQueens Hey it's the Israeli bot far again! Everyone wave! 👋
English
@NickySimps Where did I claim that? Show me in the next 24 hrs, or apologize
English
@AliceFromQueens This is a pretty wild series of leaps of logic from someone who vehemently claimed that nobody got raped on Epstein Island
English
@AliceFromQueens Persuasive, but not buying. Still convinced this has everything to do with China.
English
Notice that the piece contains no actual evidence that China is “furious” about anything.
Arturo McFields Yescas@ArturoMcfields
China is furious over geopolitical changes in Latin America. The return of President Trump has reduced and reversed China’s powerful influence in the region. From Argentina to Mexico, from Honduras to Panama and now from Venezuela to Cuba. China is losing the game. thehill.com/opinion/intern…

@TheStalwart @MattNoahSmith yes but plastic isn’t as seasonally sensitive as fertilizers?
fyi history of 73 crisis involved spiking plastic costs. it led to the small plastic toy trends of the eighties (gi joe dolls and stuff)
English
Hey @TheStalwart any idea if an oil price shock would affect the price of plastic and then everything downstream of that? Plastic is made from petrochemicals after all! I dunno - supply chain ep incoming?
English
@AliceFromQueens Seems like every couple of months some version of this story will run and then not too much comes of it. Without exaggeration I think I’ve heard this half a dozen times now
