Perhaps the social sciences, e.g., have a larger representation of those on the left not because something about them is inherently “biased,” but because the in-depth study of many of those topics leads one to some inescapable conclusions.

To defeat your enemy, first you must understand him. Until the Democrats/liberals actually understand Trump and his supporters, they will continue to lose to them.

Republicans are the bad guys, but Democrats always create the conditions for Republicans to take power and use it for evil ends. If Biden had forcefully defended Ukraine without hesitation from the beginning, Ukraine wouldn’t be in the awful position it’s in right now.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The con is so old and so simple, it’s incredible how many marks there are. Right-wingers receive campaign funding from big corporations, they get elected, they work to defund and deconstruct parts of the government, and over time government services deteriorate and people get frustrated.

To expand on my earlier “STAND FOR SOMETHING” post, one of the primary reasons the Republicans keep winning is because they stand for something. You may not like what they stand for, but they stand for *something*, and that’s a bigger selling point to the average voter than most people realize.

My favorite thing about humans is that they literally never learn from their mistakes. Every generation has to repeat the mistakes of the prior one because humans legitimately believe, “yeah but that was the past, we know better now, we won’t make the same mistakes,” as they proceed to do just that.

Americans don’t seem to understand that the Republican Party is not a political party in the true sense of the word, for they have no interest in governance. The Republican Party is nothing more than a vehicle for the 1% to gut the fed govt in order to avoid taxation and regulation.

Liberals need to understand if you're making $25,000 a year or less and your rent is $1700 a month that's $20,000 going towards having a roof your head. Leaving $104 per week to spend on everything else else you need like food. Making 1/4 functionally poor Source: www.politico.com/news/magazin...
I don’t believe those who went into this past election taking pride in the unemployment numbers understood that the near-record low unemployment figures — the figure was a mere 4.2 percent in November — counted homeless people doing occasional work as “employed.” But the implications are powerful. If you filter the statistic to include as unemployed people who can’t find anything but part-time work or who make a poverty wage (roughly $25,000), the percentage is actually 23.7 percent. In other words, nearly one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today — hardly something to celebrate.

When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos. Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: propub.li/3WScD3g
A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled 'In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…' and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."
