There's a conversation in Harper's this month along these lines: https://harpers.org/archive/2023/02/is-liberalism-worth-savi... The conversation flits around a bit too quickly for my taste, but som

I feel you. I've been there. It took me 9 years to finish. For several years, every Friday I was more depressed because I'd gotten nothing done that week. To be honest, the only things that helped me were: (1) stopping taking SSRI

We were SUPER careful until recently. Then we sent our kids back to school in September w/ no masks, and caught it within a month. We got the newest boosters two weeks before testing positive. Le sigh.

It seems like academic criticism can be binned into a few categories: 1. legit criticism, e.g. you missed something or did something incorrectly 2. reveals an opportunity to communicate better on your part 3. self-promotion by the criticize

I grew up in the American south, hearing I would go to hell if I had premarital sex, took God's name in vain, or watched the Simpson's. There wasn't really a 'cultural left' where I lived (or I wasn't aware of

Interesting! I first saw it at a state fair in the US. They mentioned Swedish immigrants too, but didn't say whether they invented the technique. I was skeptical but...it's actually great.

Which is so strange and violates two of their three mandates - maximum employment and moderate interest rates.

It made me curious too, but I still think that comments in the mold of "well I heard" should be supported at least a little bit. Did you find any support for the claim?
