@UsingLyft @Noahpinion Always a blast when people finally get to see what Noah looks like IRL. Never seen a face and body match the online persona so spectacularly.

Sociology is actually really interesting, whatever progressives have done to conceal this fact. What a post like mine earlier should make you think about are questions like: To what extent do Americans value hard work? What do we think about genius? What is the American approach to competition? Why do so many people find the idea of a bunch of sixth graders grinding on math problems over their entire summer vacation so offputting? How have these things changed over time? Do we think of these questions differently when we’re talking about a genius at NASA or a heart surgeon or a professional athlete than when we are talking about the average grade schooler? Do we think about this differently when we’re talking about something trivial like a spelling bee versus when we’re talking about something more significant like becoming a fighter pilot? Do we view this differently when we’re talking about a grade school spelling bee versus a high school spelling bee versus the spelling bee national championships? Is it appropriate to study as much for the spelling bee in your fifth grade classroom as it is for the finals at the national championship? Should every kid in class study exactly the same amount for the spelling bee? Is studying for the spelling bee universally good? Universally bad? Do we think there’s some nuance to that question? If you know there will be a game of trivial pursuit after a dinner party at your friend’s house this Friday, is it appropriate for you to cram trivial pursuit practice questions for seven hours every night before bed until Friday? Would your friends think that was cool if you? If that sounds excessive or try-hard or weird, then does that mean you’re opposed to meritocracy? Does it mean you don’t value hard work? How hard do we want small kids to work? How important is it that the average, say, project manager or web developer or accountant has demonstrated the ability to produce elite outcomes on standardized tests? What about a roofer? What is the point of college? To what extent is the point of college to drill math problems? How well does any of this practice correlate to real world outcomes, anyway? None of this is straightforward. It’s all endlessly interesting to me. There is intense debate still today with respect to many of these questions. And, yes, there are in some cases significant cultural differences on these questions between countries. “Americans don’t value hard work“ is not an accurate summary of anything I believe. I think Americans have an interesting and complicated and in some cases unique opinion of hard work.

Guys should just go be a cop. Reposting this yet again for those seeking the only good career advice on how to find regular action combined with reasonably good pay: Everyone who's politically on the right, in shape, and not already on their settled path should be getting a cop job. It's a mile ahead of the career competition choices. You'll get to clean up your town or county instead of just watching it decay, and you'll get more action monthly than almost anyone in the military gets in their career anymore. If you want a Fed job and location isn't an issue, ICE has a giant bonus and looks like a great rush of action right now. "But I hate the cops", lol no you hate the speeding ticket you got that one time. Lots more to law enforcement than that. "But I saw a fat cop once!", yeah you're going to see a lot more. Just don't be one. Tired of gangs? Cop job. Tired of junkies passed out next to the playground? Cop job. Tired of drug dealers? Cop job. Are you going to solve them all forever? Nope, but you'll have fun trying. Imagine working out with the boys preshift then going out and hunting criminals together for fun. 3-4 day weekends every week, tons of (tax free!) overtime, and nationwide CCW as an added bonus. Pay is location dependent and all, but it generally pays enough to support a family, and to get a house in much of the country. Girls like it, and think your job is cool. You get a strong retirement package. That might seem far away now but you'll care sooner than you think, especially if you have a family. Plenty of places are desperately looking for new cops and many are throwing out big bonus money. Go on a ride-along somewhere if you're even mildly interested. Go be a cop. Go put enough criminals in jail that you move up the ranks and can influence things in your area for the better on a larger scale. These things have a larger impact than you imagine, think long term. Or just keep arresting criminals because it's fun and they deserve it and when they are in jail they aren't creating new victims, even if it's only for that night. Sometimes you'll send them there for much much longer. Go be a cop.
