I want to love the Hoover Dam but having visited there I felt like an ant. Totally desolate, huge and inhuman. Hot enough that you would die very quickly if abandoned there. Genuinely quite a frightening vibe.

I’m 100 percent convinced the Art Deco design of Hoover Dam is America’s greatest ever public project and we’ll probably never come close again

my piece for The Pursuit of Liberalism about why we should think of Adam Smith as an economist rather than a philosopher (DUH!)

Two indie devs made a game where you run your own video store in the early 90s. It’s currently the #5 top-selling game on Steam.
- Rent out VHS tapes & manage customers
- Charge Late & Broken Fees
- Upgrade & customise your store
It’s called Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator

* Drought Stabilizing, but Not Over *
The latest federal Drought Monitor report is out today.
Most of the D.C. region remains in Moderate Drought, an improvement from the Severe Drought that covered much of the area from late December through mid-February.
About 2–2.5 inches of precipitation since March 1, and 7–8 inches since Jan. 1, have helped stabilize conditions after last year ended as the driest since 2016.
However, a recent drying trend has left the region slightly below normal for precipitation this month, and models suggest below-normal precipitation will continue through the rest of March.

@RMLLowe Larry Wright — a car guy with an engineering degree — thought carefully about the functional parts of a combustion engine developing his landmark work on teleological explanation.
The answer is, yes.

@FriedrichHayek does careful thinking about how to make a combustion engine count as philosophy?
English

@RMLLowe Philosophy is simply careful thinking about difficult things, and those difficult things can be found in many different domains, including science, and the law, and morality — Adam Smith, did careful thinking about difficult things in each of those domains.
