Is the idea to make it impossible to know when something is actually tariff’d so the markets just can’t react?

Related: I think the Mismeasure of Man should be required reading for all scientists. Top ten most important book ever written, which radically changed the way I view the impact of my work on the world. Cannot recommend it enough especially for new scientists.

Absolutely. Barely anyone should actually read e.g. The Bell Curve on their own (and that’s the mildest entry in the race science canon I can think of), instead just read any of the several dozen in-depth scholarly critiques. There’s nothing to be gained from reading that garbage.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

To borrow @mtsw.bsky.social's schtick for a moment, it's because they like the eugenicists and racists and want them to rule over us

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

There has never been and never will be a birthrate induced shortage of human beings on this planet. There are many reasons one might want children, as I do. It is simply not the case that anyone in particular has a responsibility to consider having children to perpetuate the existence of humanity.
