I see we're having that debate again about whether the past few years have secretly been worse than the recession and I am curious to see how that will age as we hit a real economic crisis if/when the reality about Hormuz sinks in.

If you care deeply about freedom of navigation the correct role for the USN is a series of coral reefs.

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

the bargain where you get sane governance on local shit in blue cities with cultural amenities and low housing prices and taxes, while in exchange you mostly ignore the hooting morons who think algebra is woke in state politics was always unstable, and it's going to fall apart real fast.

Social media flattening everything into a Manichean struggle of the evil against the pure means weβve lost the vocabulary to say βyou are doing a totally defensible and legitimate thing that is nonetheless clearly overall making things worseβ and you see this a lot when it comes to labor unions.

the inability to face this among IR analysts and geopolitical pundits is in large part because the strongest lens for understanding Trump are personal psychology, gender, and race, all of which have traditionally been weak points of understand in the field.

Part of what makes this a post-information age of collective make-believe is not, as is commonly held in discussions of misinformation, a fracturing of social trust and veracity, but rather a societyβs changing relationship with facticity and the nature of what constitutes evidence and grounding

the natural state of humanity is not national identities with parallel overlapping state organization. there has always been linguistic and cultural diversity at the state level and organizing people around this idea required papering over the contradictions with blood

again, staying completely silent on the actual merits of ai, the initial ai boosters basically campaigned on "this will eliminate your job, forever, and make me personally rich." it should not surprise *anyone* that this provoked a backlash.
