What is going on in Korean politics? Joseph Yi explains the concept of asymmetric polarization, where leftists control institutions and square off against an increasingly radicalized right prone to conspiracies and misinformation. Sounds pretty familiar. cspicenter.com/p/understandin…

I talk to Bess Stillman about her struggles to enroll her dying husband in clinical trials, and the cruelly irrational barriers the FDA and drug companies put in the way. On a lighter note, we also discuss some of her funnier experiences as an ER doctor. cspicenter.com/p/sorting-thro…

Why did East Asia stop having kinds? I present a theory of East Asians that explains low fertility as a function of high conformity and a need for scripts. The theory has the benefit of also explaining many other things that make these societies unique. richardhanania.com/p/why-asians-d…

Is it ever acceptable to say "prior" over "assumption"? What about "stochastic" instead of random? I explain that sometimes it makes sense to use fancier words. richardhanania.com/p/when-to-use-…

I talk to @robkhenderson about his book Troubled, and his unlikely journey from foster care, to the US Air Force, then Yale, and finally as a professional writer and Twitterer known for his critiques of the American elite. You can watch the whole thing on X, with time stamps…

I talk to @robkhenderson about his autobiography, including whether he ever wonders about his biological family, joining the military, when he became disillusioned with elites, and more. cspicenter.com/p/nature-nurtu…

You've probably heard about Americans fleeing blue states like CA for FL and TX. But this isn't new. I've dived into 40 years of GDP and population data and show it's been happening for generations. Here's how we know economic freedom is better.🧵 richardhanania.com/p/forty-years-…

The question no one is asking about the current protest movement: Why is it so gay? Top universities are selecting heavily on LGBT. Here's what it means for the future of elite institutions more generally. Welcome to the era of flaccid histrionics. richardhanania.com/p/too-gay-to-r…

Metaculus gives a 34% chance of China invading Taiwan by 2034. How worried should you be about World War III? I put the probability closer to 15%. Conquering Taiwan would be hard, and Xi era China is characterized by risk aversion. I explain here. 🧵richardhanania.com/p/china-doesnt…

"The economic critique central to RETVRN is simply wrong... I am sympathetic to the right-wing intuition that something has gone wrong... and would like to see economic misinformation tossed away so that people can focus more on negative cultural trends." richardhanania.com/p/the-promises…

I've written about out of control entitlement spending. It doesn't seem like there's much in the way of ideas to do something about it. I talk to Romina Boccia about how a debt commission might be what saves us at @CSPICenterOrg. cspicenter.com/p/debt-commiss…

Many reactionary policy ideas are dumb, but you're not crazy to think that people used to be better. I discuss the good and bad versions of RETVRN philosophy. Something like it is needed, but it can't be a Trojan horse for economic collectivism. richardhanania.com/p/the-promises…

How should you understand race in America? Both conservatives and liberals underestimate two key forces: our capacity for assimilation, and Black Nationalism. Only through this lens can one make sense of our politics and culture. richardhanania.com/p/america-has-…

There's a major effect of the Alabama IVF decision no one is talking about. It kills any chance the liberals who control medical institutions, etc will ever turn on biotechnology. Why future generations should build statues to affective polarization. richardhanania.com/p/thank-alabam…

You know social science is fake. But it's actually much worse than you think. Many of the problems aren't even solvable in theory. I wrote about why that is, and how one can develop healthy epistemological habits and a reasonable worldview anyway. richardhanania.com/p/epistemology…
