Are we talking about this Charles Murray? "A huge number of well-meaning whites fear that they are closet racists, and this book tells them they are not. It's going to make them feel better about things they already think but do n

What you're describing is the narrative that most media barons pushed from the 50's onwards - the notion of "quality journalism" - it's the reason the Pulitzer prize exists at all ( http://www.politico.com

This idea that "truth" and "facts" was ever a profitable business comes from a very naive place. With the exception of encyclopedias (and even then...), newspapers (owned by robber barons since day one, and then later me

Every 10 years someone posts this. The message it sends is this "I don't actually take time to understand the unique situation of being a kid in today's economy and culture. I do not acknowledge that the experience is rapidly

All the people in this thread arguing about the "right" of water should sign a waiver of liability, then abstain from water for a few days to show how it's not a right, but just "a nice thing someone should have."

I dunno if this is satire but it's pretty great. I for one, am ready to invest in DoorDash for prosthetics and Greenshoe (cash for your every day needs) for commercial banks.

Is this really an article about polymaths that doesn't mention a single Islamic polymath? The whole concept of polymath is not that you're a genius or even knowledgable about a bunch of stuff. In the Islamic tradition the concept

This is awesome! I remember when B Corps came out and I was stoked to look into it but it just seemed really complicated so we bailed. One question - have you talked to any VCs about b corps and what apprehensions (if any) they might have?

Resources aren't actually that scarce and haven't been for quite a while. The Breadbasket of America can feed everyone. Population growth isn't really a scarcity problem, it's an organizational and structural one. Unless

Everyone is taught to compete. But I don't think competition is the sole driving force, or even the major one that makes sense for humans. Collaboration seems to always be better for people than conflict.

There are no hard rules for raising money. Let's say Parsley took $40m but at like $200m post - that means it's about 20% of the company. Depending on how that deal is structured - liquidation preferences, board seats, voting righ

I don't remember but between hunters, hippies, logging, blm, and forest service it can be a real bureaucratic nightmare. Irony is that they actually all want the same thing.

They do have conferences. I think the bigger issue is that there isn't really a good budget for this stuff. Most of the budget goes to handling fires that are really out of control, and there's more and more of those every year. I

Some forests are self-regulating when it comes to fire. Some forests are not. What defines forest is actually pretty complicated, even for Federal and state agencies. Controlled burns work in conjunction with thinning practices and bo

Er no that's not often true. I guess it depends on what you mean by "better" and "small" exit but often an acquihire or low cash exit isn't better than if the company ipos. Consider liquidation preferences, rat
