every college entrance essay topic is overplayed. they're at best checklists for seeing if the kid has had a formative experience which challenged them and resulted in personal growth, and at worst are looking for the right cultural and class shibboleths for admission. Kid will be fine

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

I do think part of it is that for the media it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up. Trump is open about his shittiness, and they’re used to having to dig through closets for skeletons. It’s practically unsporting to destroy the man for known facts—what use is journalism for crimes in the open?

Look what you do is the same as for the picture generation ones. Set up an adversarial system where one ChatGPT makes a statement and a second one tries to identify anything that sounds fucked up, and filters those out. Easy!

The whole point of democracy and a constitutional government is to make sure the state is 1) vaguely pointed towards benefiting the common voter and 2) has restrictions on its awesome powers to detain and destroy the person.

We’re seeing in France right now how hard it is to make an antifascist coalition with limited time before an election. The time to address all this was during the primary. Now keeping the coalition together is paramount. That means Biden or if not Biden Harris. There’s no time for anything else.

The prevalence of personality disorders is roughly 5-15% depending on what study you look at, and of the online population where we all have depression and/or anxiety it’s probably much higher. I remind medical students and trainees of this fact all the time—you’re going to see a lot of them!

Wikipedia: "No reference to Amalek or the Amalekites has been found in surviving Egyptian and Assyrian monumental inscriptions and records, even though both groups recorded various tribes and peoples of the Levant in the relevant time period(s)." Yeah, obviously because the Lord was so successful!

As a doctor, that’s like the textbook example of how to violate HIPAA. Like I have to take a training every year that says “don’t do this” and we all just roll our eyes and click through it because who the fuck would actually do something that obviously stupid and bad?

I think the area you might see more success is empowering couples financially to enable them to have kids. I know there are people out there who would like kids but for cost or work reasons just can't have them. That means better child support, parental leave, and more accommodating career paths.

As the father of a young child right now and planning for 1-2 more, raising children is an enormous amount of work, cost, and health risk to their mother. There's no way in hell I would be having more kids than desired without eye-watering payouts that would let me or my wife work less.

Listen what you do is say that everyone who served in the military gets full VA benefits, and then rule that compulsory service counts. Backdoor universal healthcare!

Yeah I liked the reference to unicorns and dragons—theoretically possible but never existed in real life. One could imagine a capitalism without racism, but the one we have is definitely racist! I think even if a capitalism didn’t start racist, becoming racist makes it stronger, so it always will.

This was a good piece! While racism/sexism etc aren’t strictly required for capitalism, by creating societal underclasses that are acceptable to exploit or expropriate they make capitalism more politically palatable to the general population. Underclasses allow focusing capitalism’s predation.
