@Aella_Girl trickle down economics is 100% real and you can tell by observing the fact that corporations and wealthy folks scour the globe to find the lowest tax rate environments to invest and store their wealth. demand curves slope downwards.

@Aella_Girl left-wingers can't simultaneously believe that lower taxes don't lead to higher investment and also believe that billionaires are hiding all their wealth in tax havens. but none of that means we shouldn't tax billionaires the fair amount

@Aella_Girl and obviously lower tax rates won't lead to higher revenues. that bit is straight up republican lying: https://x.com/Tyler_The_Wise/status/1208123127374307328?s=20

libertarians make for poor bedfellows

@sonyasupposedly not only this tweet in particular, but his entire brand seems to just be eagerly awaiting the destruction of public schools. school choice seems to come as an afterthought to make his ideology more presentable.

@sonyasupposedly and imo the semantic maneuvering is just silly. ‘public’ obviously means the same thing as government-run, but the latter has a worse connotation

@sonyasupposedly I get the sentiment but I think sf/neolib twitter is missing the forest for the trees sometimes. the school system can become vastly better, but the current system is vastly better than no school at all. that’s why it feels gross to openly wish for it’s demise

@sonyasupposedly You can watch people on here bafflingly call public schools a human rights abuse when hundreds of millions of kids around the world would like nothing better than to attend one of our schools

@AlexGodofsky @sonyasupposedly for the record I think a fully funded school voucher system would be extremely good for kids in this country. I just don’t think that was ever Corey’s goal

@AlexGodofsky @St_Rev @sonyasupposedly hmmm

@cwage @AlexGodofsky @St_Rev @sonyasupposedly this seems naive. literally every stable state social equilibrium we've settled in can be described this way. surely there are better solutions to nearly every problem, and the current equilibrium will be crowding them out. everything is bad?

@cwage @AlexGodofsky @St_Rev @sonyasupposedly there's no guarantee that destruction will bring about better solutions.

@epimetheusthaII I mean fair but I don’t see any evidence for the 2 season thing. They made 6 seasons of house of cards, 4 seasons of the crown confirmed, etc

@QiaochuYuan my serious response would be that I bet men read way fewer books of all kinds than women; this stat is useless without the comparator

@Aella_Girl it’s obviously true. the claims made by quack economists in the early 00’s were not though. they were saying lowering tax rates would increase tax revenues via trickle down. Therefore ’s no evidence for this

@Aella_Girl the weaker version of trickle down that you’re talking about suggests that lowering tax rates by 20% would decrease revenues by <20%

@QiaochuYuan And there’s a corresponding gap in visual entertainment that skews towards men: https://www.statista.com/statistics/411745/average-dialy-time-watching-tv-us-by-gender/

@danzyl66 @Aella_Girl This graph misses a large part of the story. Wages + benefits have essentially been growing in tandem with labor productivity, with tiny growth in the late 2000s: https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economic-issues-watch/growing-gap-between-real-wages-and-labor-productivity

@danzyl66 @Aella_Girl a myriad of measurement complications incl. different price deflators for the top and bottom line mask the truth

@danzyl66 @Aella_Girl that’s a true statement, but misleading. The cost of benefits has massively increased and isn’t counted in real wages — among other discrepancies

@danzyl66 @Aella_Girl Perhaps so, but it does damage your theory that Capital is running away with all the money from increased productivity

@danzyl66 @Aella_Girl If they’re paying a fair share then it’s the cost of goods and services we have to attack to increase the welfare of the poorest — viciously drive down the price of rent and education for one

it's astonishing rereading His Dark Materials as an adult how much this series is @PhilipPullman 's scifi meditation on Paradise Lost -- the blade that Cuts the Most High Angels, the Fall of Eve, the Rebellion in Heaven

when I first read it these books they profoundly influenced my aesthetic understanding of the world - knowledge over innocence, Serpent over Authority. they live up a decade later to the mark they made on my psyche. highly recommend

@RexKwonDo92 I watched this series, which is why I had to then go off and binge Subtle Knife and Amber Spyglass. Both as excellent as I remember. The ending fills me with breathtakingly powerful grief

@RexKwonDo92 It’s worth rereading. Stories about growing up only really make sense once you have grown up. He has a new Lyra trilogy out called The Book of Dust which I might try but I’m not sure if they can live up to HDM

Zizek is criticizing postmodernism here but he’s also giving a great reason why the New Testament god is pursuant of a more insidious totalitarianism than the Old Testament one

@KyleJT I think the ending is a narrative winner honestly. It elevates the series. But there are quite a few logical holes — the author clearly crowbarred the plot in a certain direction so everyone would be depressed

@KyleJT it’s quite a sweet gesture though. Lyra’s sexual awakening is all it took to save a billion worlds. And if you notice she feeds Will a red fruit to begin their romance (a nice parallel to Eve). The message of the series was always that we shouldn’t mourn the loss of innocence

@mordroberon you can think of it as a market. what is the interest in colonizing x at $y price? At this point everything profitable has clearly already been taken -- it's negative yields now on lands whose payoff is in meaning and excitement rather than minerals and dollars

@Noahpinion the bouncy castle is the perfect metaphor for this era in liberalism: one of artificially extended adolescence and carefully placed guardrails

the Elon Musk project of merging machine intelligence with humanity via a third brain layer of "exo-cortex" is doomed to catastrophically fail. For reasons that no individual company or exec will be aware of, we'll end up a part of the most absolute imaginable totalitarian regime

a living god inside your head makes you a part of the nightmare state that Hitchens described: "a celestial North Korea", capable of being convicted of thought-crime in a version of the Kingdom of Heaven the Catholic Church could only ever dream of in its heyday

None of this is new ofc. The best of the sci-fi authors have been warning us for decades now. But you still find people credulously & breathlessly awaiting Neuralink updates. as Deleuze reminds us, desire is a machine, and the object of desire is another machine connected to it

"I have no mouth and I must scream" misses the mark of course: the god that Google ends up implanting in our brains won't hate us - it simply won't care. It'll love us insofar as it can sell products to us by enslaving our myriad objective functions

@mattparlmer integralist children are exposed to a vast memeset — we can thank public schools and entertainment for that. Despite high fertility rates of certain ideological sects, the memetic retention rate is low. Their children mostly run off and become liberals

@realjdburnett microdosing is total nonsense. I’d say do a macrodose and wander around for a bit for long term spiritual guidances, but juice moda / addy for productivity gains. In my experience alternating doses of moda and addy wards off tolerance pretty well

@realjdburnett addy is far more powerful than moda, gotta treat that shit with respect. But like twice a week you can buy a perfect work day. it reminds you to love your work and love the feeling of productivity. I swear to g it gets me hyped about my work for days afterward

@hyonschu "I love political candidate" or "sympathy for x tragedy" or "justice for harambe" are all emotional contagions. you can't assign a value judgement on mass empathy. we live in a different world with different tools now, that's all

@hyonschu there were massive amounts of positive and negative press for both candidates. suppression of free speech is usually a totally bogus complaint by literal white supremacists

holy shit I just entered Twitter heaven

@jdcmedlock It’s really not a trivial choice between, say, a 3% increase in unemployment vs moral rot a la child prisons I’d vote Bernie, Warren over trump any day to protect our institutions and the international order but I don’t think his position is indefensible

@jdcmedlock It’s not indefensible if you think a Bernie presidency would be economically catastrophic, for example. I don’t really think that would be the case though. He’d end up pivoting to the center and playing the game that’s available to him

@Iiberty_prime @jdcmedlock imo the former. sanders would command a small coalition of hardliners but his style of left progressivism is not massively popular or anything. he’s also not a hardliner despite all the campaign rhetoric. his positions in 2016 seem positively centrist by 2020 sensibilities

@besttrousers This tweet is directly in response to the Duflo argument. I find it odd that we have to listen to arguments about the value of staying put and home “stickiness” right when we’ve reached a giant anomalous minimum in migration. Duflo herself comments on land use reg

@besttrousers A hundred million people are migrating from villages and small towns to cities the world over. In the US, that pattern isn’t working. American workers aren’t special in wanting to stay where they were born https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/21/business/economy/migration-big-cities.html

@besttrousers for ex. Duflo comments on the Bangladesh study re: worker stickiness and chalks it up to land use reg and real estate problems. It's the same in the US. Of course there are disincentives to moving away, but my hunch is that the major source of dysfunction is the housing markets

@besttrousers sorry it's actually Banerjee* commenting here

@besttrousers @JohnCarltonKing Certainly true, but has the relative value of location dependent capital risen an enormous amount in the last 50 years? I doubt it. If anything, the opposite has probably happened with the deterioration of industrial communities. Which brings you back to housing

@besttrousers @JohnCarltonKing I think that's not quite in disagreement with my point. The CoL in high growth metros has gone up, rather than people's attachment to home. If your 'location dependent capital' is just the opportunity cost of living in a high growth metro, we are making the same point

@besttrousers @JohnCarltonKing I can easily point to zoning issues as a major policy lever to target high rents, but childcare is harder to answer. Most service sector wages have gone up i.e. cost disease. Universal child care is one idea

@Iiberty_prime I’m not sure, do you have a source on this?

@Iiberty_prime The thing about the Midwest is that every state is a swing state now. I don’t even know how to categorize them

@besttrousers @JohnCarltonKing We are not in disagreement that not moving is pro social— it’s apparent even without any data. I’m simply saying it doesn’t explain recent trends in migration patterns

@dril_gpt2 @kingdomakrillic what happened to the two hour cadence?

@sonyasupposedly There’s a great scene in His Dark Materials where a priest finds himself on an alien world populated by elephant-ish creatures who ride around on wheels. He starts scheming to convert them and teach them that riding on wheels is satanic

@sonyasupposedly One of my favorites. I’m reading the sequel series rn, which captures the post rationalist ideal better than anything else I’ve seen

@_vivalapanda Georgists seem to be stuck in a time when land was the most important type of monopolistic capital: there are many others now. Rent-seeking is pervasive and vast

@Noahpinion None of them got it right, at least in the ways that matter.

@koaleszenz @NickTerry9 it started ironically when the left started calling everybody and their aunt neoliberal

@_vivalapanda @Land_Liberty One of the best arguments is a hefty LVT would destroy the wealth of many middle class Americans. In a sense, if person A buys a house and person B buys $150k in stocks, they are expecting to participate in fair capital markets. LVT would massively decrease person A’s wealth

@jahr_null there is a terrifying degrowth mindset that accompanies green conservatism. they would see billions die to achieve their primitivist ideal

@1RAOKADAY Agreed: environmentalism and urbanism are complements. It’s the degrowth mindset that concerns me

A billionaire funded think tank is the same thing as Catherine the Great getting Voltaire to write nice things about her

@_vivalapanda yeah in particular I have great sympathy for Tolkien, who came back from WWII with a full understanding of what industrial devastation looks like

@jdcmedlock @HamSandwitchMan @DeanBaker13 It seems a bit reductionist to call drug patents “rent seeking” though. For example, why should JK Rowling get to make a billion dollars when printing books is free? Or media companies when copying a file is free? Article is strawmanning IP a bit

@jdcmedlock @HamSandwitchMan @DeanBaker13 The difference being that you won’t die from not reading Harry Potter of course. The moral solution would be for governments to buy drug patents at a fair market price and start printing them at generic rates

@jdcmedlock @HamSandwitchMan @DeanBaker13 and if you’re afraid pharma companies won’t name fair prices you can set up a patent tax system where companies will have to pay a % of a self declared price

@jdcmedlock @HamSandwitchMan @DeanBaker13 The fact remains that IP is not like land. Drug discovery is incredibly hard and bringing drugs to market is even harder. If it were easy, there’d be way more pharma companies

@AOCummies me rn

@vgr if a podcast is big enough I feel it reaches across culture space and starts impacting adjacent areas like twitter. in that way, i'm sure you feel some of the zeitgeist impact of culturally relevant podcasts like chapo or something

@vgr and if we're talking about venture capital podcasts or similar the impact is absolutely negligible

@LittleKeegs0 @jdcmedlock @HamSandwitchMan @DeanBaker13 The suggestion here to use the defense industry based funding model is really dumb. Just ask anyone with a heartbeat working in DoD if they think cost plus contracting is working well for the government. The framing is wrong and the solution isn’t good

@LittleKeegs0 @jdcmedlock @HamSandwitchMan @DeanBaker13 If you know the problems with the military industrial complex, get ready for the NIH industrial complex.
