@BayesianNuance

I have subjective opinions, but I care more about nuance and intellectual humility. (...also occasional hot takes)

@NickChaps96 I still don't want to pay $100 for a sombrero, but this was a good attempt at convincing me to do so.

@nikicaga "traumatized" Seems like this hasn't been an issue for some groups of refugees. Why are you so averse to acknowledging group-level heterogeneity? x.com/nikicaga/statu…
Nikolaj🇺🇦🇵🇸@nikicaga

Taking in the highly educated and/or wealthy? Basically a cheat code Taking in a bunch of guest workers? You're still selecting for a bunch of positive traits, helps the economy massively Refugees? No selection, traumatized, many can't work for years or struggle assimilating

@mattyglesias We could address this somewhat by letting in only the immigrants driving the right tail and not those contributing to the rest.

@AGDugin This isn't any rigorous notion of "philosophy", and calling it such degrades the label.

With Ali Larijani I had very long philosophical conversation but not about Kant. About Sohravardi and his theory of Tenth Intellect, about Malakut and about Purple Archangel. Translator was exhausted finding the adequate words with great difficulty. Larijani was wise and deep.

Get married young and have babies? It'll work out fine if he's a traditional, religious man? Let's see. Of the 9 women on the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: 5 are divorced and/or with their 2nd+ baby daddy 2 are separated/considering divorce 2 are still married Not great.

Walmart is rolling out digital price tags at all of its stores. At the same time, the corporate giant just secured a patent for "dynamically and automatically updating item prices.” Plus another patent for using machine learning to predict demand and recommend prices.

@ArtemisConsort It's self-serving, but "rightism as organizational humility" seems as good a classification as any.

Interesting means of synthesizing broader rightist flavors into the framing of traditional economic rightism. I think this gets fuzzy with some of the right wing authoritarians of the past (ie - they often had eg a spiritual belief in some ordained destiny, but it's not clear this is a hard boundary from their left wing counterparts). That said, our fuzzy definitions of leftism/rightism are obviously the primary challenge here, and this might regardless be the most interesting/insightful framing I've heard.

Leftists dislike effective altruists because EAs are smart and honest enough to publicly disbelieve a lot of leftist dogmas, and more fundamentally to disavow the leftist mode of thought. Rightists dislike EAs because they are hubristic central planners. One way to define rightism is the belief in an intelligence greater than humans. This can be God, or markets, or evolution (taken seriously as a discovery process), or the Landian fusion of all three. But fundamentally there is a rejection of closure, an embrace of the Outside, an a priori skepticism of grand plans. So when they hear “you just need to give Our People global power to stop the apocalypse” they see the echoes of every other failed totalitarian/closure project and write you off.

It’s not crazy for both progressives and conservatives to dislike the same thing It’s slightly crazy that both sides at least claim they think that EA is fundamentally aligned with the other side

Jaylen Brown explained how he’s memorized all of his teammate’s astrology and numerology in order to better learn how to communicate with them: “I learned communication styles that work best for each individual, and started utilizing that when I speak to each and every guy.”

"man goes along with stuff he doesn't really want to cause he doesn't wanna lose his woman" is how we get a lot of men forcing themselves into monogamy that they are absolutely not suited for
Dilan Esper@dilanesper

One other quick Lindy West point. If you abstract out of the particular circumstances of polycules, "woman goes along with stuff she really doesn't want to do because she doesn't want to lose her man" is one of the oldest stories in the world, and a not particularly feminist one.
