Slate Star Codex is back ! Scott Alexander is one of the most thoughtful and thought provoking writers Ive had the pleasure of discovering online. For old archives: slatestarcodex.com/archives/ New Substack here: astralcodexten.substack.com/?utm_medium=we…

“I don’t want to accuse NYT of lying, exactly, but if they were truthful, it was in same way as Wizard of Oz review: ‘Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.’ astralcodexten.substack.com/p/statement-on…

A typical essay by Scott Alexander is deeper, better reasoned, better referenced, more original, and wittier than 99% of the opinion pieces in MSM. It's sad that the NYT can see him only through the lens of their standard political & cultural obsessions.
