🚨Breaking: Michael Shellenberger is sending waves of stupid emails to researchers again 😂 Reminder: if you got one, you don’t need to respond to Mike. Screenshot the email, post, mock, go directly to the public. He’s not a journalist, he’s a crank w/a substack whose growth has flatlined. Have fun.

elon musk on: stealth aircraft (for the record: everyone involved with low-observable aircraft is acutely aware that they are not "invisible," they just have an rcs so small they can't be effectively detected until they are close enough to have already launched weapons and that is super useful.)

It occurs to me that it is probably instructive to look at what the anxieties of prior eras of global systems change were. I suspect we’d find they were not all that different from those of our own era, at least in type.

I prefer the incremental solution that can be implemented through bare-majority legislation (240 Supreme Court justices) to Third Way's radical plan, which requires fully amending the Constitution (term limits)

the thing about stuff like this is that five biggest changes in american politics have all been partisan projects The Constitution, the Jacksonian Revolution, Reconstruction, the New Deal, and Civil Rights were all explicitly partisan projects.

If you were out to dinner and someone was antagonizing the restaurant staff in this manner, you’d be right to say something. And no, this is not tone policing and using civility as a rhetorical weapon, this is “I want to live in a society” basic politeness.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no
