unless you went to one you have no idea how batshit insane small liberal art colleges are
Tomorrow, @BowdoinCollege will decide if an email that read āRIP to bro šæā should keep student Finley Rhys from returning to campus. His one-line reply to a conservative groupās Charlie Kirk vigil promotion triggered a two-month investigation and probation.

the difference between republicans and democrats is that the right can separate the loony far left communist liberals from the regular liberals, but the left canāt separate the loony alt right republicans from the regular republicans probably can trace it back to identity
Republicans act absolutely insane then go about life like nothing has changed; liberals refuse to live in this fantasy I donāt want to just ignore that you post white nationalist memes and hate gay people Republicans need to stop crying that we donāt like them. Grow up.

A lot of luigi commentary makes more sense when you realize this is how a lot of people understand the concept of insurance
Car insurance logic is wild. No accidents. No tickets. No claims. and you still pay full price every year. Safe drivers deserve partial refunds.

taking taiwan would also be really freaking difficult
Real life is not a Reddit argument. What keeps China from taking Taiwan is not any moral principle. It is the threat of American retribution. These people donāt live in reality and cannot be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.

if you get caught drunk driving, you will be arrested. if you get caught breaking "international law", nothing happens unless the US decides to enforce it. its not even comparable. the four most powerful countries in the world don't even recognize the ICC lol
@SteveFlanders22 International law is as real is local law - it's about enforcement People break speed limits and drink drive all the time, doesn't make the law not real Enforcement is not just courts, though. Public opinion, via votes, can come back to bite you

flexing that you take a pay cut is crazy lol
At least half of international law profs get their highs by dunking international law. I take a pay cut every day I spend in academia. I hope this helps.

the only people who think international law is real are international law professors who depend on international law for their livelihood
Yale Law School has much to atone for.

Of course, I detest Maduro and stand with the people of Venezuela in their hopes for a better future. But Iām concerned that pursuing regime change in this haphazard way undermines the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

really lazy question from @ezraklein here bottom 50% went up 367%, the top .1% 118%. so, the bottom 50% went up 3x more despite it being easier to make a lot of money when you already have a lot of money. said another way, a decade ago the bottom 50% had 8% of the wealth of the

i used to agree but i now think this is overstating things thereās 3 scenarios for AI 1) AI grows relatively slowly and predictably, things are fine. think this is most likely: https://t.co/d5RvVXTpOk 2) AI grows really fast. AGI. jobs go away. donāt think this is likely,

Iāve already covered much of this in my podcast with Dwarkesh, but I thought it would be useful to write it all out in one place.Ā Iāll assume you already know the current state of the debate.Ā Here...
Iāve been warning the tech industry for about a year now: They will be hated, not merely for AI taking jobs, but for LYING about it. Saying "the cobbler disintermediated by the assembly line couldnāt have imagined that new jobs such as Twitch Streamer would be created" is

this is a lot more compelling for networks versus apps truth is most apps don't need tokens, and if they just didn't launch tokens, we'd all be a lot happier
@AdrianoC2222 Very narrow world view ser. Tokens can be a complete reimagination of ownership in a business, a guage for the network size and capacity, incentives, governance & coordination mechanism. These are only the things weāve seen before. Also where have I mentioned that it is a
