@beau_baumann Did better than me. Despite my ambitions and aspirations.

And, if for some reason this long thread hasn't put you off completely and you want to go down a rabbit hole with the philosophy of action and game theory that is behind all this, it kind of kicks off here: https://t.co/U7h3rs7IMh

J6 is a vivid, recent example of the kinds of collective crimes where standing in reserve is especially relevant. Terrorism and felony murder are others, which we discuss. We have a follow-up we are workshopping about the leaders of such collective crimes and 1A. 6/n

@jenniferdoleac @JCSchwartzProf It’s happening soon but there’s also MLEA (Midwest law and Econ association conference).

[Nicholas Almendares @ProfNickA]

Message or email me if you're interested in reading it, we appreciate the feedback. And huge thanks to everyone so far who has given us so many great comments and ideas.

[Nicholas Almendares @ProfNickA]

New Article: "Incitement as Coordination" (law review editors, it's here for the taking!). A novel account of how law should treat incendiary. Rather than Brandenburg’s imminence test we cast incitement in terms of facilitating collective action.

[Nicholas Almendares @ProfNickA]

Come for the con law, stay for the analysis of the audience's web of beliefs informed by game theory?

J6 is the prime application. But the paper has broad implications. Violent rhetoric and political violence are increasingly mainstream.

[Nicholas Almendares @ProfNickA]

@OrinKerr @LukeJSchumacher But perhaps in a different field it would have been more cursory and the reader would get up to speed themselves. There might be a real difference in summarizing cases rather than academic writing(?).

[Nicholas Almendares @ProfNickA]

@OrinKerr @LukeJSchumacher That sounds right to me. I was thinking about summarizing the case law. I did a lot of that in my latest piece, and maybe it was necessary b/c it's a foil for our proposal. Readers will let me know!
