Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social on Trump's efforts to crush the flagship university of the nation he purports to lead: "This is not an intervention to make anything better, it’s an attack on academic freedom. Or worse—it’s an attack on civil society."

Interesting episode. “The implicit purpose of education has been to get a good job […] We’ve asked people to behave like a machine of a kind and now we’ve created machines that can act or mimic as people of a kind. And so the whole [education] transaction has been thrown into chaos”

We did a bunch in this convo w Ezra that I think was quite distinct from some of the other convos he’s done about abundance and it gave me a lot to think about. #WITHPod youtu.be/OduMs9gAd8M

Can't believe I listened to Nobel prize winning economist specialising in trade on a Saturday night! #TrumpTariffs But recommend for those still imagining/hoping there is some 'masterplan or deeper strategy' - there's just "layers and layers of wrongness" "Never been anything like this craziness"🧐

The administration's response to the Signal debacle is just suffused with contempt for their own voters. Just an endless belief that the people who support them can be tricked into believing the laziest misdirection imaginable.

So much of "Abundance" is about failures of government in California specifically. So I was pretty damn interested to hear what @gavinnewsom.bsky.social thought of it, and how he'd answer some of those critiques. Then he invited me on his podcast. youtu.be/Bt_LQNS7hmU?...

Excited to join @ezraklein to talk through what happened in 2024. There's a turnout story this cycle, but not the one we're used to talking about. With less-engaged and less-likely voters becoming more Republican, a larger turnout meant a more GOP electorate.

"The populist right is powered by scarcity. When there is not enough to go around, we look with suspicion on anyone who might take what we have. That suspicion is the fuel of Trump’s politics. (...) The answer to a politics of scarcity is a politics of abundance."

The great point Ezra makes in this episode is that, if AGI is really the biggest revolution in history and is coming in the next few years, why aren't the policy discussions more urgent and detailed? Policymakers just kinda shrug and say they don't know what to do...

In the midst of this hair-on-fire political season, I was refreshed by the innovative ideas in this article/podcast with @repauchincloss.bsky.social and @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. We need more thinkers like this to question our status quo, but do so with actual plans—not “concepts of plans.”
