If only there were some sort of market mechanism that would incentivize legal US citizens to perform these jobs, in order to spare these suffering crops.

I note the casual acceptance of the slur "bro". Rewrite the headline: "When did teaching become Harpytopia".

So you're saying Jordan Peterson is a deeply honest classical liberal trying his best to work his way to truth and inspiring millions of people of all sorts of political outlooks to improve their own lives?

There is no mention of specific electoral interference in the (google translated) version that I read. There is a play by play hacking attack on the state department, with an attempt to install malware on state computers, but nothing is sa

As luck would have it, immigration to Somalia is both inexpensive and free from bureaucratic oversight, so I would encourage anyone who is inspired by this article to go with godspeed.

Exactly. This tactic breaks all but maybe a thousand people in the world. I wouldn't have lasted two minutes, I would have just blown up at her and embarrassed myself. We are very lucky to have Jordan Peterson, one of those very few

I have become effectively alt-right (it is complicated, but for HN purposes it suffices), from a libertarian conservative, in the last two years, specifically because of behavior like that of this interviewer. I no longer think it is possib

NB, if you are prone to just reading the headline (which I am often guilty of): “We also only tested these theories on adults, so more work is needed to understand whether a different effect is evident in children players.”

That's a reasonable perspective. I would have to ask my children to remain celibate, though, and would it be fair to put that burden on them, even (maybe especially) if they didn't accept it? It seems more fair to me if I bear th

That would be a tough situation, I'm not sure. My first thought is that the moral choice for me would be to accept celibacy and try to do the best I can for others in that role.

By HN standards I would be considered opposed to homosexuality and I am opposed to abortion. The idea of aborting a baby due to their likely sexuality is as horrifying to me as sex-selective abortion. I don't view this as a quandry wh

The left is in a very dangerous spot right now. I have seen leftists equate free speech with white supremacy. The danger is that people start to believe them.

We seem to lurch back and forth between Keynesian and Chicago School economics, without hearing about things like Georgism[1] or Distributism[2]. The cynic in me says this is because the financial elites are comfortable with either option.
