Alleviating uneasiness one end at a time. Author of the greatest book ever written: "Praxeological Ethics".

[JW Rich @thejwrich]

My first book, "Praxeological Ethics" is now officially out! In it, I talk about the Praxeological basis for ethical language, the basis for moral principles, how to understand law, and the implications for government.

If any of that sounds interesting, you can find it here on Amazon: https://t.co/umOPYpVsZx

You can also find a PDF copy of the book for free on The Austrian Economics Discord Server as well (look in the Creator Space channel)

Other than the Super Bowl, there’s very few things left that Americans do together any more. Church, movies, TV, voting, social clubs, etc; all of that has eroded and been replaced by hyper-specific social media algorithms aimed at feeding you endless content.

It’s easy to hate on Marvel movies, but they were one of the last vestiges of popular culture. Now, everyone just watches their own niche movies and shows on various streaming services with little overlap in media consumed.

@burnthalies This is perhaps the greatest compliant you can bestow on a German philosopher

@Babygravy9 Tolkien understood this deeply. Death is Eru Iluvitar’s gift to men, and man’s rejection of this gift is a recurring theme throughout his writings.

The hidden assumption behind much of the immigration debate is that there is an "American culture" that immigrants could assimilate into. There's good reason to think that no longer exists.

Two things can be true at once:

- There is good reason to be concerned about the trajectory of AI
- AI companies have an incentive to promulgate AI doomerism to provide cover for regulatory capture

@ArtemisConsort In a post disenchantment society, it's arguable if any Christians believe their faith in the same way Christians did 500 years ago

@Ace_Archist legally entitled =/= morally entitled

@DanielDiMartino And inflation is still over the Fed’s 2% target

The truth is that Osama bin Laden was the winner of the Global War on Terror and an inability to grapple with that fact, 25 years from 9/11, will only spell our future doom.

Reminder that Buc-ee’s managers are paid better than doctors in the U.K.

[Rohan @RPShah_econ]

The recently-opened Buc-ee's near Little Rock seems to have upped their wages compared to other branches in the past!

Might be a tight labour market in Arkansas.
