You've touched upon something that made me find work a lot more bearable as well. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what your designated "primary" task is, as long as you tell yourself that your primary task is to do whateve

I'm all for protecting the vulnerable and underprivileged. I'm all for universal healthcare, increased minimum wages/EITC, and increased taxes on the rich. But I'm very skeptical of the idea that white collar professiona

Sites like Reddit are also profiting off of content produced by other companies such as NYTimes. Companies whom Reddit has certainly not obtained permissions from. Is that morally gray as well? If the "aggrieved" party in his manu

Frankly, the more I reflect on my University and High School education, the more I think it was poorly thought out. I've spent an enormous amount of time learning advanced Math, Sciences, or other such topics that are utterly irrelevan

The whole point of the "lump of labor fallacy" is that growing the workforce will increase both the supply and demand. This is why unemployment is comparable across 1900 and 2000 America, despite the population exploding. The answ

The "NYT opinion article" is written by a Nobel prize winner, and he's describing the opinion that most economists hold towards the lump of labor fallacy. If you're curious to learn more, there's plenty that come up

You're referring to their "$2000-to-save-a-life" claim? It isn't "advice", it's a statement. There's a spreadsheet linked to from the above page, which shows the calculations they used to derive that

It's interesting to consider the parallels between the power/responsibilities carried by Kaminsky, and our own lives. It is estimated that we can save a human life for $2000. Which means that each of us faces a similar dilemma eve
