The former New York Times columnist knows itâs easy to make fun of himâbut judging from the crowd that gathered to hear him explain love at Yale on Monday, at least some students are listening.

one of the old union lawyers i worked for used to lament that protest and action in this country had been reduced to "walking in a circle in a fenced off designated area holding signs" and said it was a bad sign for our society and you know what

Televangelist/Megachurch Masculinity. Thatâs the one theyâre all doing - the kind that constantly talks about and asserts masculinity but doesnât resemble it in any way. Closest thing it resembles is a bunch of weird, anal-retentive obsessions.

The option was either (a) accept that the relationship between gender and biology is complicated or (b) hand the country over to guys who say things like "our nation's teenage boys have too little sperm to develop the manly virtues" and America has MADE ITS CHOICE

To me this is by far the top explanation for Gen Z nihilism. If you don't brand and commodify every aspect of your life, you're falling behind. If you're not getting one over on the next guy in crypto or prediction markets, you're a sucker. Beyond Marx's alienation of labor--alienation of personhood

Not only might this happen to you, you know someone who this is happening to at any given moment, and they have a gofundme and you hear about it and you've given hundreds of dollars to people in this EXACT situation multiple times.

I mean, internal to the admin, if it becomes clear that you can lose big and still sell it to the base somehow then that would seem to be a positive to future random large scale reactions that achieve nothing. I just mostly think the US shouldn't have killed the folks in charge of Iran, that's tbh

Every round of discourse about this place starts from a conscious decision to ignore the fact that we are all well aware Bluesky is a retirement home for posters. Thatâs why weâre here in the first place. Weâre here to answer prompts about movies and bands weâve seen and wait for It to happen.

I donât know what to tell you, man. Iâm a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you donât check your sources (and your sourcesâ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.

and if what we're talking about is economics, is the implication that sources/methods don't matter because we should just skip to ... making policy? policies in turn that shouldn't be researched/reflected on by economists with expectations of accuracy? because if so, that would explain a whole lot

Birth rate discourse is like âIt turns out if you give women more choices, theyâre less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.â Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

"important things will get decided for you while you are growing up" and "important things will get decided by you while you are growing up" are pretty different claims and an increasingly plutocratic era is probably the time to invest one's self in the distinction between them

I agree with the premise but Edison did actually kind of try to cultivate a heroic inventer figure cult around himself during his lifetime, it's one of the reasons Tesla thought he was such a tool

Clearly neither Musk nor Bezos understands that the âheroic inventor figureâ was a self-conscious construct invented long *after* guys like Alexander Graham Bell invented revolutionary things and not something that was immediately embraced by a grateful public
