Maybe 1000 Canadian political scientists, like the 1000 French historians?

In this pod, we ask you to keep several things in your heads at once: 1) NYT does essential work on Trump threat 2) Biden probably shouldn't run; doubts about his ability to carry this through are too great 3) It's STILL true that NYT is asymmetric on Biden/Trump unfitness

When will media outlets let full-time staff writers (who rely on union representation to earn a living wage) write op-eds about the election and its consequences? Instead, they get privileged assholes who milk the lower classes for profit to speak for the people they exploit. Fuck that shit.

Also it is harder to fill the civil service with loyal party workers if they have to know things. John A Macdonald always boasted of the inexpertise of his appointees.

I think DD is more correct. Imagine a Colbert answering Trump’s lies. He would have mopped the floor. Moderators make sure one candidate gets a clear shot at the other. They did that very well. Biden was the person to debunk the lies and he failed abysmally.

Moderators have to let Biden call it a lie, cannot speak over or for him. They are forcing Trump to double down on the lies very well.

“This is probably all one can ask of history, and of the history of ideas in particular: not to resolve issues, but to raise the level of debate.” Refreshing take on the question of ‘the lessons of history’ from Albert O Hirschmann.

A general principle: You should not count on a person with a humanities PhD, or a principled academic, to be an *unquestioning, uncritical ally* of any cause or institution. This should be common sense, but I can't believe how many people forget it.

The CHA held their ground about holding most of our conference at McGill - although some individual sessions were moved, the dance was cancelled, and some other accommodations were made. I am so glad they stayed as firm as they did - this is deeply angering.

Turns out conservative judges, including the ones on the Supreme Court, are basing their decisions on the work of an economist whose "scholarship" on guns is some non-peer-reviewed papers reporting online polls asking gun owners whether guns are awesome.

I'm not convinced that the CHA should remain a part of Congress. I don't want to return to Toronto (as much as I like Toronto) every 2 years and I think the CHA needs to visit smaller cities. The fees are very high. And they've not handled the McGill situation very well.

Deliberately undermining one of the most powerful tools against the threat of global pandemics from novel emerging infectious diseases is not only evil — it’s stunningly shortsighted zero-sum thinking that puts the US population at risk as well.
