Wikipedia is fucking incredible. Concise, so well organized and easy to read, frictionless rabbit holing, filled with concrete details (unlike many books, which are largely vacuous monologues). People often ask me for book recs. Most books suck. Read Wikipedia instead lol.

When do we start including Social Security pension wealth in wealth inequality statistics? You can’t advocate for large progressive social programs that displace private savings and then ignore their actuarial value in measuring wealth inequality. Since the mid-1980s, real…

the neologism "unhoused" reflects the leftist fallacy that the human condition is a bunch of independent switches you can flip on or off

The fertility decline starts at least as early as 1700s France. A centuries-long and global trend like this seems absolutely impossible, but somehow it is there.

The mirror image of "why is rent suddenly so high" is "why is rental housing suddenly a great investment". Conveniently, mega-landlords like Blackstone are obligated to truthfully disclose this is in SEC filings and public statements, and they are 100% crystal clear about why:

Was Lavoisier like, “oh, I should try some intellectual humility”? Hell no. He’s like, “let’s take my intellectual opponents and do a mock trial where we burn them to death, and they’re super old.”

Wokism is the logical consequence of assumptions that are widely shared even by people on the right. Every important institution is staffed with woke ideologues who only hire their own kind. Criticizing wokism in the workplace can be illegal. This isn't going to just fizzle out.

Nice to get the occasional reminder that there’s no First Amendment in the UK, and sometimes the police will knock on your door and arrest you if you make a stupid joke on Twitter. A really great use of their time, and not at all scary and dystopian!
