Clark does a great job elucidating the point I've heard many other people struggle to present. One of the things I love about writers that specialize in legal matters, they're very good at articulating a position.
The "questions for sponsors" bit is particularly sharp at cutting towards the discrepancy between the standards dissenters expected from the conference and those they saw. There may be widely agreeable answers to the "how is this justifiably different?" question, but the conversations so far have largely skated around it with sophistry.
Also, I'd recommend everyone read the "Tolerating everything except the outgroup" link, but the writing style and/or position might prevent you from seeing the message.
- clarkhat 11y agoDespite writing at a legal blog, IANAL, but am a mere techie like yourselves. Or was, till I took an arrow to the knee. Anyway, thanks for your kind words re the post!
- sudioStudio64 11y agoI enjoy your writing but I think I disagree with the successes that you attribute to the blue team. Some of them are right on, but some successes are only that if you say that blue means liberal like Adam Smith was a liberal and not a mercantilist. That's just my take though. Cheers!
- hga 11y agoThe general, reductionist way I've seen it put and like, is that the "blue team" has been so successful in the culture war that they are now reduced to policing the battlefield and shooting the survivors. Which Yarvin obviously was, seeing as how there's little to no chance Urbit will ever get a chance in this current totally politicized environment.
