 there's a common refrain of "how come the elites are exempt from the lock-downs".

they aren't - they bought their way out of them. let's investigate.
2/
 "but mark", i hear you object, "the laws aren't supposed to bow to the dollar?"

i hold off from mentioning ticketable misdemeanors, and instead point you to the underlying logic of the lockdowns:
3/
 their moral (lol) reasoning goes as follows: "every 30,000 people staying at home stave one life".

the exact number varies, but you know it's on the order of magnitude they are thinking about.

(note: i do *not* condone the lockdowns) Image

 i was desperately looking for a joke, satire, or perhaps a late april fools marker.

turns out no, the article is written in the earnest:

 the author doesn't look like a very serious person

>Professor Brandon Hasbrouck researches and teaches in the areas of criminal law, race relations law, and critical theory. Image

 the author has made other hare-brained proposals before:

>“Both namesakes of Washington and Lee University perpetrated racial terror. The school should be renamed.”

 context: the left is attacking pornhub

question is raised, "should we ally with the left to dismantle pornhub?"

that's not possible this time around.
2/
 the left is not aiming to *shut down* the pornhub; quite the opposite: they want to *take it over from inside*.

through pressure applied by the media on service providers and employees.

always the same scenario:
3/
 the left doesn't want to *shut down* vices; the left wants to *control & tax* the vices - because they use vices as pay-offs.

 in which Roko re-discovers, for better or worse, the class system
2/
 medieval society had classes going from 1 through 2 to 3.

now-a-day we have X/10 grading; is that much different?

3/
 note that in the traditional class system, the cross-class promotion was equally possible for both sexes (through heroic deeds or through heroic beauty).

also apologies for the somewhat glib, acerbic commentary - i'm somewhat new to this particular idea.

 >keeping manufacturing capability up and running is bad

it's good. expensive, sure, but good none the less. especially several *competing* programs and organizations in parallel.
2/
 >rockets and tech wins wars

???

we've been there before, several times in fact. every single time humans turned out to be better at it. every time guns were removed from a fighter aircraft, they had to be re-introduced *ex post haste*.

3/
 "but mark", i hear you object, "how could an imperfect human perform better than a perfect machine?"

humans are much better at making spot decisions
and at OODA, precision observation, etc.

than at predicting all possible scenarios and programming machines.
