The guardian deciding to play Civ VII with the Aus budget is actually a communication-genius move, and I mean that unironically. I've never seen a piece of media so quickly and effectively convey the magnitude of each policy choice so effectively

For an undergrad level comparison of frameworks: Omelas is a good place to start

I'm not like the suckers trying to find happiness through fleeting things beyond their control like wealth and fame... I say as I tie my happiness to 538 forecasts.

@Noahpinion It's got a pretty good claim to centrality of economic and political schadenfreude

NASCAR hurt student achievement due to leaded gasoline… which it used until 2007.
