saw a post like "liberal jewish americans making an exception for israel is actually just normal diaspora politics" and was imagining a near future where the median chinese american is like yeah im not saying i endorse the nuclear bombing of taipei but singling out the prc is just covert sinophobia
we need to bring back empires bc as it stands right now politicians are too comfortable playing to the parochial bigotry of their own countrymen. we need each and every prime minister to pander to the whims and distinct historical grievances of all the world's peoples
my theory of scientific progress and the rationally undecidable status of the question of pursuing it
me: Jesus lived in a very fishing-centric culture. i think they knew about fish olivia: yeah but they couldn't necessarily see the difference. like they couldn't be sure of what's a small fish and what's a baby fish
blue helmets when its time to oversee reconstruction in war-torn cambodia: well another brothel couldnt hurt... blue helmets when half their platoon gets splatterized by a merkava shell: the prime directive prohibits me from intervening in these indigenous affairs

japan never had "true feudalism"... the koku system wasnt a form of enfeoffment, it was a legal fiction to disguise the fact that most domains were engaged in large scale industrial or commerical activity. in terms of the mode of accumulation japan has been capitalist since the battle of sekigahara
the united states never had a bourgeois revolution. yeah basically the class of wealthy landowners who already held power simply used the crisis of 11776 as an opportunity to consolidate state control. hence why so many modern american elites trace their ancestry back to these feudal houses

i just listen to the science. i know that beta-amyloids cause alzheimers, raising the minimum wage always leads to higher unemployment, and signing an honesty pledge before filling out a form leads to lower rates of lying by omission
Economics aside, what an absolutely poisonous position on expertise. Actually, we all have some ways to choose what to believe beyond blind institution trust! It's not some absurd indignity when the pronouncements of experts are questioned by the laity.
oliver@eikopf.com · 2w agovery tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines. if youâre not an expert, you donât get to pick and choose parts of a field to believe! you have no way to tell between legitimate and illegitimate results in that field!
