It is *deeply* revealing that the entire conservative movement gets #triggered if you say the simple truth about the electoral college.
These days, conservatism is a movement deeply paranoid and pessimistic about its own appeal, increasingly retreating behind counter-majoritarian institutions: the senate, the courts, the electoral college.
There was a time when conservatives were confident to the point of delusion that the majority of Americans agreed w them. Increasingly they realize that’s not true. They’re 1 for 7 in the last 7 presidential elections on that score and they know it.

This is *exactly* what you would expect to happen if the basic thesis of the my first book was correct

theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

That book is called Twilight of the Elites and you can buy it here

The book posits an Iron Law of Meritocracy, in which meritocratic systems will collapse in on themselves because eventually inequality of outcomes grow so vast, it's impossible to provide equality of opportunity. What you then get is something like aristocracy and oligarchy.
Sports is supposed to be the exception and yet...

Aside from, um, the eyebrow raising aspects between the lines, this is just a SHOCKINGLY corrupt use of university funds

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
"In 2016, Falwell signed a real estate deal transferring the sports facility, complete with tennis courts and a fitness center owned by Liberty, to Crosswhite. Under the terms, Crosswhite wasn’t required to put any of his own money down toward the purchase price..."
"....Liberty committed nearly $650,000 up front to lease back tennis courts from Crosswhite at the site for nine years. The school also offered Crosswhite financing, at a low 3% interest rate, to cover the rest of the $1.2 million transaction, the contract shows."

0/ #CO is poised to join #WY in providing safe harbor from securities laws for consumptive tokens. #MT also introduced a similar bill. I want to highlight why I think this is important and what points I hope the SEC considers as it prepares additional guidance.
1/ This legislation builds on a core idea from #WY: It must be possible for entrepreneurs to develop and sell software that is inherently consumptive in nature (i.e., not a passive financial instrument and intrinsically is for use/consumption) w/o implicating securities laws.
2/ The SEC seems to agree and so have regulators/policymakers in just about every other developed nation. The difficulty arises, however, in defining the boundaries of this principle - stated differently, when if ever is usable software actually a security?

Tomorrow marks my 6 months at Valve, crazy. Gathering some thoughts to talk about my time here so far. Folks seemed really interested in hearing about my experience as a new hire back in May, so I think I'll post some updates tmrw?
I guess I'll just thread off yesterday's tweet which people seem interested in. To start, these were some of my thoughts from my first week in May
the TL:DR version of my 6 month update is that I could have written that first week thread in any other week since because I still feel like I'm learning so much every day, and that I look forward to be at my desk at 9 and by 5 I'm always like "how is it 5 already?!"

THREAD: The Proud Boys and other alt-light groups are rallying in Philadelphia on 11/17.

This is Andrew Kovalic, Harrisburg PA Proud Boys Rally Captain. He's doing Security that day.

He works for @comcast. Here he is making a white power gesture in his Comcast uniform.
2) Here's his Facebook profile, where he lists "Comcast" as his workplace next to the laurel iconography of the Proud Boys, an @splcenter- designated hate group.

@comcastcares-- do you care that your employee Andrew Kovalic is a member of a hate group?
3) Andrew also supports antisemitic conspiracy theories.

In their "private" Security chat for 11/17, organizer Jerry Smith says, "Its semitism and identity politics that's the problem."

Andrew made sure to hit "like" on that one.
