I read the paper. Precisely what you’d confidently guess based on the pic & caption. Total of ~10,000 respondents across 2 versions (nodes are attitudes on abortion, redistribution, etc). In both, position correlates v well with partisanship scale & even more with partisan hatred Image
Image
In other words, extremity of left vs right in these reliably correlates with self-reported extremity of left vs right; but the correlation is even stronger for self-reported partisan ingroup feelings bias (far left more identifiable by hatred of far right than by self-ID as such)
The appendix suggests that leftoids care more about identity politics than eg economic issues (redistribution, regulation), & that rightoids care more about individual rights (“do what you want but leave me alone, in business life & private life”). Predictable, uninteresting, etc
The paper isn’t interesting, but it is interesting to me that @RichardHanania vacillates btwn saying “you didn’t read your sources” to naysay obvious facts like “EHC is more consistent” & saying “EHC is more consistent” without reading sources. Very slimy

Piketty’s new paper has good graphs but retarded thoughts (brief thread). He shows that 19thC Europe had an incredible current account surplus, & so—by definition—accrued an incredible capital account. Again: this is definitional—net income is net wealth accrual in this data. But Image
Image
Image
Image
He says this is bad bc Europe’s goods trade balance was negative (imported lots of raw materials & exported ~half as much manufactured value). So this wealth was colonial theft, & Europe “should’ve” been *much* poorer (if it paid 20% more for raw imports & levied 0 taxes abroad). Image
Image
Image
Image
This ignores Europe’s big surplus in services (ie its trade balance was just barely negative), & its “excess” investment returns (invested much more profitably abroad than foreigners did, which seems good), & its provision of anomalously productive & often benevolent govts abroad Image

You’re telling me that Republican voters like red state policies? That Democrats don’t suddenly pretend they’ve always hated blue state policies? I guess it was worth testing whether they’d switch on a dime when Ezra told them to, even tho the groups are still favoring the groups
In fact, the *only* person who *should* be surprised by this is Hanania: his hypothesis for the past few years has been that EHC types (eg Ezra Klein & his readers) are uniquely suited for *both* adopting objectively good policies *&* popularizing them among the blue tribe. Oops!
To be fair: I like the fact that he’s trying something new & that it’s an attempt at abundance-oriented elitism which is designed for triggering basically everyone (myself included); but I’m not sure why red-state policies would be best served by EHC blue tribe Rube Goldberg isms

Women’s tears in the marketplace of ideas are most costly when they’re tears of joy. Shrieking at you to euphemize more in public is noticeably annoying, but it’s far more notably bad that female suffrage immediately leads to limitless childish negative-sum collectivist signaling Image
Image
Image
Image
Can our civ muster the will to tell groups of women that what makes them feel good is bad—that they should be politically disempowered—that their insipid saccharine groupthink is retarded & smothering & destructive? History says no—esp as girlbossing substitutes for childrearing. Image
Image
Of course there are also serious issues when childish male groupthink takes over; but so piratical mannerbunds were brutally tamed into blood-&-soil estates, into the individualist voluntary nuclear family, from which true civilization—elitist, liberal, modern—could be cultivated

KKK reached peak membership in 1924 (destroyed by sex scandal & Ellis Island in 1925). They were focused on Progressivism (prohibition, anti-corruption, the Fed, free trade, immigration restrictionism, etc), not lynching—meantime Ellis Island gangs waged war on cops & Anglo order Image
Image
Image
Image
They used their peak influence in 1924 to back McAdoo (whose main accomplishment was creating the Fed) & pass the Johnson-Reed Act (closed borders). Then they got forced from power by corrupt & actually buffoonish actual terrorists who imposed low IQ larps of nativism (tariffs)…
Within 5 years we had an inept Indian VP (Charles Curtis, the only nonwhite VP besides Kamala, who’s another kind of Indian). We’ve been told so many lies about the 1920s Klan bc frankly they got most things completely right: they really weren’t crude bitter myopic rabble racists

There should be more no-fault contracts. If you sign an NDA, you should be allowed to tear it up if you ever feel like doing so, & still keep half of what they paid you for signing it, with no negative consequences. You can kick out lessees at random, & keep half the year’s rent.
This might seem like precisely the opposite of a contract, but it’s what we do with marriage, the most generally sacred of contracts; & it’d be odd if we applied higher enforcement standards to NDAs, leases, etc than to marriage, so why not make tenant law similarly “open-minded”
“In the bad old days, landlords & tenants didn’t rely on their personal bonds with each other, they could just sign impersonal documents & then trust that the law would uphold their relationship. Now every tenant has to go through a lengthy courtship process to build up trust 😊”

Ubiquitous pre-internet correct use of obscure nautical metaphors in 1995’s “Dreams from My Father” is what convinced me that it was ghostwritten by former seaman Bill Ayers. It repurposes tics & scenes from 1993’s “To Teach” by Ayers—eg kids learning the Hudson’s a “tidal river”
In both, a turning point when colored kids at Hudson’s edge & audibly notice that it flows both north & south, bc they’re at exactly the point where it changes direction. Etc. & Obama wrote it at Ayers’ dining table, after Ayers began mentoring him—1st thing by O with *any* style
“Wow Obama never actually signed his name to any piece of writing before then except awful college poems & an extremely wooden essay about community organizing, but then the well-published Ayers who got him his Annenberg job (giving Ayers huge grants) helped him write his memoir”
