This push began before Covid and well before the war in Ukraine went hot - but those two factors certainly increased the urgency. At root the push in the US began due to the rise of China as a military competitor in the early 2010s, and the

Unfortunately it is genuinely a complex problem. It is true that in general adding more housing lowers prices, but in detail the exact opposite is often true. For one, adding housing can lead to more demand for services (eg schools) which i

I second this - learning that a few slow, powerful bodyweight movements can get you insanely fit was game changing. Having introduced this program to a few others, I would add: don't be afraid to adapt some of the movements to yourself

As I said, to a very important extent it is true. Identical twins have a lot more in common than any other two people, even close siblings, often even when they are separated at birth. This gets us into semantics about what "identity&q

No one chooses their genes because to a very important extent you are your genes. There is no meaningful "you" that could have done the choosing.

Who is the "you"? Nothing more than the result of this process... unless you believe people exist metaphysically before having a corporeal presence? In which case you essentially believe in a soul, which is not a very secular beli

I used to believe the Iraq War was about oil too, but the theory doesn't really stand up when you consider that there were several much easier ways for the US to secure an oil supply in the early 2000s (as other commenters have noted).

+1 to Strogatz's Chaos book - this was the first textbook I ever read cover to cover, almost like a novel, because of how exciting it was. I also really liked self studying Strang's Linear Algebra. Another one that comes to mind i

That's an interesting idea, and while I doubt that it is true it seems like something you could determine experimentally. Has anyone done that or are you just asserting it?

IQ is the most reliable and most valid measure of general intelligence we have been able to come up with. It is good enough for many clinical purposes, eg assessing brain damage, and also just so happens to correlate very strongly with just

Not a podcast, but Adam Tooze also has a good and quite unique book on the subject of the economic history of the third reich. Well worth a read.

I want to add that I believe the way forward in this debate (and others) is to acknowledge that both rights are valid but neither are unlimited. The best compromise is to be found by sounding out the limits of each right. That is a politica

The pro-choice side would say the by banning abortions you are infringing the right of a woman to choose when to have a child. The pro-life side would contend that by enabling abortions you are infringing the right to life of an unborn huma

What are human rights? To have an abortion? To own a gun? To have a say in what your children are taught? To get money from the government? It all depends on who you ask. Calling something a "human right" is a rhetorical device us

The US Border Patrol encountered over 100,000 attempted illegal crossings every month in 2021. It's estimated that each year somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people cross the border illegally without being caught or overstay the
