@spandrell4 My God, men should never, EVER, marry older.

@DatingByMHG @MurrayHillGuy1 Dumb. Being too into sports is masculine-coded.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@Cernovich Agreed. People really sleep on the grandkids issue, and just generally being around for your kids’ life events.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@WestsideLAGuy 2 and 4 are so true. Private / exclusive events are going to grow because of this. Wait until libs come for private clubs forcing them to diversify.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@jaypwinner @WestsideLAGuy This is one of those things women project onto men. Women like men who are unavailable. It often means they are high status, sociable and desired. Men on the other hand HATE unavailable women. Few things are a bigger turnoff than when a woman is perpetually unavailable

@Anundoram007 And Thiem won his lone Major by beating two 90s guys in the SF/F: Medvedev and a choking Zverev

@Indian_Bronson After hearing them talk about AI, I’m coming around to the idea that the push for AI is at least partly a Boomer scam to reduce headcount and costs and to help them stay at the top by removing the friction of learning and creativity that the youth excel at

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

@nandtpolitics @upstatefederlst It’s not uncommon at a senior awards night for a High School to give an award to the student with the highest grade in each individual subject.

@FischerKing64 What's most shocking to me is that people can continue to bet on election results while the votes are being calculated! Now, not only is there a political reason to cheat, but potentially a financial one, too.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@yonejutsu @Nyct0phil3_x Maybe, maybe not. But this is equivalent to people who speak about the glowing benefits of technological advances without acknowledging the costs.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

If you want to encourage more home ownership, you need to increase the areas in which it's desirable to purchase a home. Unfortunately, we have been doing the opposite in this country and across the west.

The other thing that would help is banning or limiting foreign home ownership.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

Yes, but the problem is that the supply side isn't just homes, but homes in desirable towns / areas.

This means that (a) building too much supply (especially higher density supply) in a desirable area paradoxically can make that area less desirable and (b) building supply in less desirable areas often doesn't satisfy demand.

Not to make everything about immigration and social issues (crime, drugs, etc.), but probably the single biggest issue we have in this country today regarding the unaffordability of homes is the mass conversion of desirable areas to undesirable areas over the last 20-30 years.

@Pat_Stedman Correct. Sleeper vs. Keeper

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@spitspinner @marcportermagee Agreed. College admissions and higher education today is all about high-conscientiousness students willing to toe the line. Students that are risk takers or who are high variance get left behind unless they are extreme outliers.

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@sickOfWFH @marcportermagee @jim_again This is on purpose. They specifically want compression at the top so that the can pick based on other factors (which includes ideological cleansing of their classes).

[MJHeiser @MJHeiser]

@jim_again @marcportermagee It's somewhat interesting that sports have flipped from the thing that got urban kids out of the ghetto and into the universities into the thing that gets the UMC kids into elite schools.
