If you think we are going to bring world emissions to zero in 5 years you are hopelessly idealistic.
In a related vein, see this slate star codex article for an in-depth look at how a recent regulatory change regarding generic drugs has made less manufacturers willing to produce them, and increased prices. In a…
The shape of the jawline differing between men and women is not a stereotype.
Does your body have abnormal electrical resistance or capacitance? To me it seems more likely that you are being delusional than your electrical properties being so far out of the normal range that they are diagnosible.
It amounts, at an individual level, to choosing to focusing my attention on more productive goals. At a group level, it argues for focusing economic output on better economic goals. Being forced to defend a belief that…
Consider these 2 possible opinions of folks who don't care too much about fighting climate change: 1. Climate change is an unsolvable problem, requiring coordination on a massive scale by billions of actors who have…
When I see this, I wonder if the shaving industry is fated to always have high margins, just due to the fact that brand power is very strong in the shaving industry. People don't trust razors they've never heard of. Too…
Agreed, especially given that U.S. income per capita is higher, making it true that taxes are even lower for two people of equal income. The double-edged sword: when income per capita is higher, the price for healthcare…

Do you regret how much you drink?
The U.S. has more rich suckers to prey on.
If you go to a high level of abstraction, you remove useful distinctions. That is not a productive line of thought. Not all income is the same, and not all expenses are the same. Excise taxes and any "nudge" tax laws…
Let's say you run a gas station, which is a notoriously low margin business. You have $1,050,000 in revenue this year, and $1,000,000 in expenses, so you make $50,000. Let's say you run a small software company, which…
No, and I don't think you did a decent job trying to interpret what he said.
Most bosses that retaliate do not view it as retaliation. I know that when I have acted immorally in my own past, I felt justified about it. It is not true that he stated women are less suited to the job. It is possible…
Saying "trans women are not women" is not transphobic. You can disagree with a tentative definition without being a bigot. I do not know the entire corpus of Notch's statements on transgender issues, but this single…
Look at the character assassinations that have happened in the media recently. Jordan Peterson is an excellent example, not only because so many left-leaning journalists have tried to defame him by deliberately…
