America should have reverse ICE. A team of foreign-deployed agents that search for the most capable men and most attractive women that should emigrate to America. A million Wernher von Brauns. A million Melanias.
Jolly joker. You laugh, but in fact there are people insisting that businesses (suddenly) got MORE greedy? They weren't greedy before. AND and this exogenous greed shock HAPPENED to coincide with the tariffs.
Sorry thatβs greedflation
What led up to the Scottish Enightenment? A lot of things. I got a chance to talk about some of them, at @adamsmithworks !! adamsmithworks.org/speakings/mungβ¦
Hilarious. I realized those are selected, but....still. I laughed.
look what I made you do π€£
something something something I'm actually a crude NIMBY something something but won't admit it, even to myself something something
Not a NIMBY, go actually read my posts on development priorities. I'm pro-density, pro missing middle housing, pro mass transit... I am against tearing down existing, dense, affordable housing to replace it with luxury condos when the city has plenty of less dense, blighted areasβ¦
The plan was always that wind and solar would be free to compete on their own merits once they became cost-competitive. Unending subsidies for wind and solar are fundamentally at odds with innovation, and they hurt our long-term climate policy goals.
Ah, yes. @iowahawkblog makes a good point. One can't take @charliekirk11 seriously unless he becomes an electrician. Otherwise, he might as well be sociology major, for all the good he's doing.
True, but in fairness we need even fewer MAGAfluencers than sociology majors
This is a bad idea. Any law to "ban debanking" inevitably ties the hands of banks + financial institutions EVEN MORE than under the existing mandates of the Bank Secrecy Act. Mandating more stuff for banks to follow or not follow only makes compliance (and debanking) worse

βDeal with itβ is probably the most salient phrase of our times.
I don't disagree. And yet people said the same thing about long division. Nonetheless, now we use calculators and spreadsheets. Look, AI/LLM is a calculator. Deal with it. thedailyeconomy.org/article/chatgpβ¦
Again, I don't disagree. It's not a good thing. But it's happening. You pretend it can be stopped?
I get the tool comparison, but the old anti-calculator argumentsβlike making people over-reliant, giving a false sense of skill, reducing understanding, and hiding mistakesβapply even more to LLMs. Using LLMs demands discernment and responsibility that calculators never did.

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
My man, @pierre_lemieux , with a nice discussion on the Buchanan v. de Jasay disagreement about constitutions. econlib.org/can-a-constituβ¦ I have had some thoughts on this myself. thedailyeconomy.org/article/governβ¦
