holy shit the amount of flourishing the human civilization is capable of if it manages to not destroy itself

@redraga @oliverwkim yes

[chinmay @ingalala]

@AlokPatel @oliverwkim sorry, I think you misunderstand my graph. being above or below the line is no matter, we are discussing whether the trend is general convergence (negative slope) or general divergence (positive slope). also, there is no value statement in convergence vs divergence

[chinmay @ingalala]

@alz_zyd_ the answer is it is correlated with everything else but also most difficult to game. if you instead target years of edu, which is correlated with GDP, you can just force everyone to sit in school for more years. GDP is just the one most robust to goodharting.

@mealreplacer I think the lack of good immigration law probably ends up accelerating the decline of the American empire by decades

a brilliant, concise piece on the state of private universities in india. building a world-class university is incredibly hard because it requires coordinating *and* managing, over a long period of time, a large number of complex resources at scale. a handful of institutions in india have defied all odds and given us proof-of-concept over the last decade. there are tailwinds and reasons to be optimistic about the future of higher education in the country --- the demographic dividend, increased philanthropic capital, global immigration trends. the state must resist the temptation to sacrifice long-term academic excellence and leadership at the altar of short-term political gain

Nothing is certain except death and regulation
@EnlliMcA's piece today touches on both.

55 countries, 55 regulators, 4–7 year delays on life-saving drugs.

How do you solve a regulatory commons? What did the East African pilot get right? Can it scale?
