I found something interesting when I googled this thanks to a posting from, of all places, @delong’s blog. I think progressives who use the Wilhoit quote often miss the context too. bradford-delong.com/2018/12/frank-…

This is again an example of one of those people mad that we found a technology that allows people to do what they already want to do instead of a revolution aligned with their political views.

The most famous of these is Malthusians who are continually mad that technology made it possible to increase crop yields and we now feed more people with less farmland instead of a whole bunch of the global population starving.

The @EdmontonOilers need to pull Skinner in period 2 and put in Campbell.

After going down 2-1 in the series, my preference would have been to start Campbell today, but now down 3-0 after 1 period that’s enough. Time for a change. At the very least Skinner should have saved the second goal. #LetsGoOilers

Really important insight here.

Like I’m sorry, but a fully global perfect egalitarian society of all 8 billion humans will never happen. It’s a utopian fantasy.

There will always be people who want to “get ahead” or whatever.
