The perennial appeal of nationalism and socialism shows how broken human nature really is.

"Non-college males build houses and sell them to foreigners. By classic protectionist logic, this is the pinnacle of 'winning': Blue-collar Americans get piles of money, and foreigners pay through the nose. But today’s protectionists have somehow convinced themselves that this is bad. Why? Because it drives up the price of homes for native homebuyers." betonit.ai/p/theyve-got-y…

“'You do have to be willing to get unpleasant answers.' This hurdle, Hanson says, is why he worries about the future of prediction markets. 'It messes with people’s ability to control the narrative.' In his view, that’s why corporations haven’t fully embraced them and why media organizations are harping on problems like insider trading and manipulation. Legacy media, he points out, is vulnerable to manipulation and insider influence too. 'But there’s this story that journalists are proper people, respectable people, and that’s the sort of people you want in charge of this process of revealing insider information, and maybe inducing events,' he says. 'Markets, they’re not in the control of proper people. And that’s dangerous.'” bloomberg.com/features/2026-…

A common misunderstanding is that supplying expensive new housing does not help the poor. No. Residents each move up a rung, freeing up housing at the bottom of the ladder. The latest, of many, papers to show this uses great data from Switzerland. 1/3 frederickluser.github.io/files/Moving_C…

To most economists this is just obvious common sense. Good to see more evidence confirming it. The answer is just build more housing. Squeezing total supply in name of more “affordable housing” is just counterproductive.

No, 'money' existed before the state. You can read more about it here (ch. 4+5): portal.research.lu.se/en/publication… No, markets do not require laws and courts, although it helps. For certain markets, laws and courts are even obstacles, as for the illegal drugs market.
Steven D. Cook@CookStevenD

@haugejostein Markets require money, which is an essential function of the state. Markets also require laws and courts, to ensure recourse for cheating or stealing. The current debasement and corruption of markets reflect degeneration of state capacity since the Reagan era.

When you refuse to grapple with the kind of evolutionary discovery process of legal principles and institutions, you seem to be left with this static snapshot world where nothing can happen without construction by some regime.
Jostein Hauge@haugejostein

“The plain truth is that, in the beginning, there were *not* markets (...) The emergence of markets was almost always deliberately engineered by the state, especially in the early stage of capitalist development.” - Ha-Joon Chang

@AkaPaulHoward I was 12, but yes! One of the greatest teams ever, made me forever in love with Italian football. The Brazil team was good, too.

"Why focus on short-term impacts of accelerating AI, rather than on impacts that might occur over the upcoming billions of years? The first thing worth pointing out about this question is that it almost never comes up outside of debates about AI." forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/oFsEsECr…

@nogojiggy Michael and Brian Laudrup, sons of Finn Laudrup, all of them players for the Danish national team. The sons arguably even better than their father.

@Skolinkvisition @drbergh Jag förstod mycket väl vad du syftade på :) du borde publicerat detta i tråden jag kommenterade. Uppenbart att många som kommenterar i den såg inlägget i en annan kontext.

@adamdanieli @drbergh Genom att för det mesta kodifiera vad folk redan tycker kan den centrala makten emellanåt även driva utvecklingen i någon riktning. Säkerhetsbälte, rökfritt på krogen är väl bra exempel? Men det förutsätter fingerspritzgefuhl?
