The affirmative action ruling isn't race neutral. Compliance with it will *force* schools to deny admissions to qualified minority students, to get their numbers low enough to satisfy John Roberts... and Stephen Miller. My latest in @thenation.com
The White Media Has Missed a Key Part of the Affirmative Action Ruling
The upshot isn’t just that colleges must end affirmative action but that they’ll have to cut Black enrollment to avoid lawsuits questioning their compliance with the decision.

inherited beliefs about moral desert as well as a belief that some people are simply born to live in a subordinate position. otherwise, you’d see the same concerns about the “dignity of work” applied to recipients of inherited wealth or those who live off of the income produced by investments
An example of a normative question that's been disguised as a theoretical or empirical one. Plenty of cold hard data now that it works, but it's not supposed to. "Dignity of work" and all that. So more tests to convince putative empiricists who have simply inherited cultural norms on moral desert.
all for doing these experiments but it's wild that we need to perform science to see if giving people money helps their money shortage problem

Re: my decision not to report the all-expenses-paid trip that I made to the Vlad Dracul Institute For Liberty And Innovation's annual conference in Gstaad, this was a personal trip with personal friends. It had no bearing on my decision in the Amalgamated Bone Slurry Corp. vs. Poisoned Town case.
