The problem being that everybody always wants to force someone else to be the one to have no children and a crappy standard of living, while they get to be one of the people selected to remain.
The arguments are interesting, but in particular claiming that it doesn't matter if the EU can no longer produce basic commodities like fertilizers or steel that it doesn't matter is pretty doubtful. It's pretty hard to…

trillions of kg/yr of anything will effect the environment in some way, since "the environment" is just the emergent properties of all of the things in the earth system and trillions of kg/yr of stuff is a lot of stuff.…
Given our ever-expanding definition of "environmentally unfriendly" and our ever-contracting definition of "sustainable", I'm actually not sure that anything actually makes the cut in the long run. Everything "effects…
Headline is clickbaity but it is an interesting set of coincidences. I'm not sure, though, how many people there are in the set of "crypto millionaires" that would warrant being included in this "trend" were they to…
The Confederate flag may not have anything to do with racism. Should we fly it everywhere then? Are black people hateful for feeling uncomfortable going places that proudly wave it?
Definitely a terrible system, as it allows Republicans to win sometimes.
I'd rather end articles about how "we must" do any given silly thing.
The main reason that we don't have free filing on the US is not because we don't know how or it's too hard or requires study -- it's because a variety of different political actors across the spectrum desire that…
You shouldn't be overly worried. Some companies are slowing or freezing hiring, some are doing layoffs, and a few are rescinding issued offers. It is possible that you'll end up caught up in some of that. Not super…
Over time, humans produce capital. Insofar as this capital is productively deployed, one should expect the total amount of capital stock to increase. The stock market represents only a part of the total capital stock,…
You aren't seeing that content censored, because that content has been censored, and its posters vilified so completely, for so long, that it has disappeared. There are virtually zero republicans or conservatives on any…
They correctly saw that, in the run-up to the election, all the big leftist tech companies would assert themselves and silence conservatives in an effort to "prevent the next Trump situation" as Google's Jen Gennai put…

No wonder Bezos' newspaper keeps posting pro-lockdown propaganda! He's one of the few people on the planet benefiting from it
Much more than 1 in 4 will end up toast as a result of these lockdowns. Given that several states have already indicated a further 12-18 months of lockdown at minimum, we're looking at >90% of all businesses of all…
Funny to see this from Vox, one of the least-true media outlets in America
Watch Newsom's press conference yesterday. He said that he won't ever release the lockdown, no matter what people say or do.
There isn't anything in those guidelines about it being mandatory to support the authoritarian power consolidation. There is nothing in those rules mandating being a leftist, or putting your head in the sand, or begging…
Except that actually, they don't at all. They show that there are a minimum of 50x as many cases as reported, which brings the fatality rate down to somewhere between "the flu" and "about three flus" But, I know, WaPo…
