George Soros on his political activity: "black people in the US are five times as likely to be sent to jail as white people. That is an injustice that undermines our democracy."

He wants equal incarceration rates despite massive crime differences. He's either stupid or evil. Image
Soros: "The idea that we need to choose between justice and safety is false. They reinforce each other: If people trust the justice system, it will work."

Is he helping develop trust in our criminal justice system? Sure doesn't seem like it. Image
The Soros stupid or evil challenge. Decide for yourself. wsj.com/articles/why-i…

Should you talk about interracial crime?

Some say it's best to ignore it. But telling the truth is necessary to challenge left-wing narratives about white racism and black victimization.

Here, I clarify what's going on in the debate over "perspective." richardhanania.com/p/interracial-…
Everything having to do with race in this country is lies on top of lies. A few groups like immigrants and proles will tell the truth, but everyone in the country arranges their life around avoiding the pathologies of the inner city. Can we start being honest about that? Image
Is black-on-white crime a big issue in the grand scheme of things? Well, compared to cancer or heart attacks, no.

But compared to the lies liberals tell us about police shootings or white supremacist violence being major problems, then yes, it's at least much bigger than that. Image

Social desirability bias says you should read a lot of books. No one wants to give advice that makes them seem lazy. But I'm here to tell you that books are mostly an inefficient way to gather information about the world. Thread. richardhanania.com/p/the-case-aga…
One has to understand something about the reason why people write books. Often, they'll have an idea that can be communicated through one academic paper or even a blog post. But there is an incentive to stretch things out to a book for a line on a CV or to get on TV. Image
An example from the last book I read: David Sinclair's Lifespan. The author is an expert on anti-aging research, and spends around a third of the book on his political opinions that have nothing to do with his area of expertise or why anyone bought the book.

It's just filler. Image

New poll confirms what I wrote in "Liberals Read, Conservatives Watch TV." The right is so anti-intellectual, it distrusts all written content, even when right-wing. Liberals more likely to trust National Review. But conservatives trust InfoWars! ImageImage
Liberals more likely to trust:

WSJ
NY Post
Daily Caller

Conservatives more likely to trust:

Fox
OAN
Newsmax
Infowars

To be fair, they may not know what Daily Caller, etc. is. But it's still pretty bad if you assume that if someone is literate they must be your enemy. Image
People ask why I always criticize the right. The problem is I'm too smart, it's alienating. Most right-wing intellectuals make excuses for those on "their side," but I'm too honest and have to tell the truth. And it's really ugly.

Levels of redneck boomerism I didn’t think were possible.
“‘Did you know that a Jewish woman has less cancer of the cervix than any other race in this country or this world?’ Bentley asked. ‘And why is that? Because the Jewish women only have one sex partner… They don't have multiple sex partners. To say that the Jewish people approve… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This is amazing. Jews oppose the pro-life agenda, in his boomer redneck mind he has to believe they’re its biggest fans because they’re the most honorable women. Image

What anti-wokes misunderstand about their opponents.

Kate Upton is still high status, no matter how accepting of gender non-conformity we are or how many fat studies professors get tenure. richardhanania.com/p/anti-woke-as…
An experiment to see how little people internalize woke: Next time you’re around a typical highly educated woman, "imply that something about her is stereotypically masculine. It could be her gait, her jawline, her voice." Watch the reaction. It will not be pleasant. Image
Or see how woke male college professors treat a pretty undergrad compared to an overweight one. I've been around these people most of my adult life, trust me, they're not that different from you and me. Image

People often ask which writers I like to read and are surprised when they come from across the political spectrum. I try to figure out what they have in common, and come up with a list of traits that I think make for good social and political analysis. richardhanania.com/p/towards-an-e…
Instead of Enlightened Centrists, one might call them the "getting covid right" crowd. I noticed they tended to be those who were sensible on other issues too.

This was a nice natural experiment, proving conservatives and liberals both have problems. Image
Three ways to classify intellectuals. Most people choose who to follow based on Level 3, whether they are conservative, liberal, etc. Level 2 I think is better. You want a certain cognitive style and reasonable priors, even if they end up a different place than you on specifics. Image
