there is nothing more inflationary than armed conflict. it destroys useful stuff, uses labor and material resources to destroy stuff, requires investment into production of destructive items that do nothing to meet the consumptive needs of households. wars are inflationary.

There are many ways to get across the point of distortion in the Mercator map. Here's a planisphere indicating a distance across Africa and another distance across Russia and things don't add up [source, read more: buff.ly/3HGVLme]

[Referring to Malthus] I mean, obviously yes! Yet all we can do is the best we can do. But best to approach these things with more humility than I think a lot of EA leaders tend to exhibit.

@reconfigurthing would an EA of the time, promoting the future of humanity, have made some really bad errors?

I don't get the hate for Adam Neumann. He destroyed $8B of Saudi dictators' wealth! He's about to burn $350m that was funding endless crypto scams. The man is doing god's work. A true comrade

And Fisher would’ve been one of the first to say that one wants to be on the right side of new technologies, and to sell a former compounder when its growth opportunities had dried up.

How do we build systems that minimize this? Meaning where the rich, powerful, and connected aren’t exempt from rules while the poor, weak, and guanxi-less bear the brunt of them? Don’t think there is an easy answer, but who is doing new interesting work on the question?

Researchers at Syracuse University found that 46% of IRS audits in the most recent fiscal year were aimed at people who receive the Earned Income Tax Credit — a tax break designed to supplement the income of low-wage workers.

I try to avoid doom posting, but couldn’t resist here. Warnings from the past like this are eerie but also wonderful examples of our shared humanity across time and space. “If you see me, weep.”
