I’ve never had such envy.

Recasting consumption as “investment,” and then encouraging people to go into debt for it, is both quite common and quite hard to defend.

The valiant corporation.

Gold standard studies dousing hopes about the benefits of basic income.

I am pro-jargon when necessary for precision. But an odd trend in recent mgmt lit on sustainability (and some ethics) is use of “reflexivity” as if it’s a term with obvious meaning and application in context. To me it’s never clear in a given context w/o explicit definition.

I need every Democratic elected official in America to read this paragraph by Ezra Klein

Noah Smith busting myths in his latest piece. I honestly thought this stat was legit until last week. 🧵

City Council members opposing speed cameras near schools, because the transpo office did not contact local communities to ask if they want to pay speeding tickets for speeding near schools. Insane.

There are many many people in academia who endorse this sentiment— which just goes to show that alarmism about well-meaning AI “integration” into education is in many forms justified.
