One thing critiques of the populist right often miss is that its anti-globalist message is deeply elitist. Vance can prance around the world giving speeches at Munich security conferences, preaching that the same mobility he so blithely enjoys be denied to the huddled masses.

This is an important point. When you hear a Boomer saying something like, "Back in the day, people just got on with it without moaning about their problems," remember they coped with mental health problems using nasty defence mechanisms that f**ked up other people's lives

Another new result of studying Alaska's UBI. More babies survived gestation. Remember that an existing finding is improved birth weights due to better maternal nutrition, which leads to healthier adults that earn more lifetime income.
Cash saves lives:
Alaskan universal #cashtransfers (mildly) increase the odds that male twins survive gestation due to reduced mothers' economic insecurity.

If we are to realize the full benefits of AI, we have to move away from a vision of business as all about profit maximization -- because that's inevitably gonna lead to giving AI as much of the work as possible and thus reducing headcount.

I start a couple of my classes with readings about infrastructure like undersea cables that make the internet possible and so far every single one of my students has reacted like this 🤯 (many have used that emoji in their reading responses lol)
Undersea cable breaks “happen every other day, about 200 times a year. The reason websites continue to load...is because of the thousand or so people living aboard 20-some ships stationed around the world, who race to fix each cable as soon as it breaks.” www.theverge.com/c/24070570/i...
The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat
How one crew risked radiation, storms, and currents to save Japan from digital isolation.
