I wasn’t surprised to find that this happened in Japan, where there are strong societal norms not to make trouble / break the rules. When you combine this with a respect for the elderly I think you have a situation where it will go muc

Case-by-case basis is a slippery slope to unchecked power. Let’s also not pretend that China hasn’t fabricated charges against those it doesn’t like (e.g. Ai Weiwei’s “tax fraud”). Lastly, as sad as it is freedom has a price (not just in th

How do you define coordinated? Let's say you define coordinated as a group who on average spends a greater % of their voting budget on an issue than the other side. You also have a situation where the minority is coordinated and the ma

Here is some back of the envelope math that I did: Assume you have two groups who are each 100% focused on a cause which the other group has no opinion of. n = people in each group b = individual vote budget Each Group Votes Independently:

Thank you for saying this. In all honesty, the leverage loan (and thereby CLO) issues we are seeing now aren't really an issue of complexity. It's really an issue of how underwriting standards are deteriorating as more and more pa

I'd argue that psychedelics aren't a no-effort solution at all. These experiences are at times very emotionally draining and uncomfortably introspective. The integration period then requires a further amount of the above. The inte
