I simply have always called this moral adaptation to local cultures. Seems simple & self-evident to me.
Today we talk about the book Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry by Alasdair Macintyre. pca.st/episode/4…

The Second Amendment doesn't grant you the right to bear arms. It prohibits the government from infringing on a right you already had. That's not a technicality—that's the entire point.
Here’s what the “your gun right is imaginary” crowd consistently gets wrong: they treat the Second Amendment as if it’s a permission slip. As if Congress sat down, invented a right out of nothing, and handed it to you. That’s not what the Bill of …

I love paranoid hyperbole. As if Liberty and Freedom weren’t equally compromised during COVID and under Biden as well. And under Obama. That’s exactly why the kaiju Donald J Trump rose from the ocean. It’s a “freedom from” versus “freedom to” dichotomy.

I had a full double-take. I was sure New York had moved the age of consent to 18, and finding out it’s still 17 scrambled my wiring. Then I remembered I grew up in Hawaii, where it was 14 until 2001 and is now 16, and suddenly my sense of what’s “normal” felt completely unreliable.

Nobody convinced society of anything. Competition over collaboration is emergent—it bubbles up, not down. The moment trust becomes the norm, exploitation attacks it. The pickpocket and the Ponzi schemer are the same person at different zoom levels. It’s a Mandelbrot.

They’re so committed to the Hitler bit they won’t even take the free Napoleon joke. It’s right there. Nobody pivoted.

Do you think this’ll become more common? Do you think it already is? Buy the good insurance.

Turns Out the Elites Like the Administrative State Better than Democracy
The New York Times claims that the “administrative state”—that is, governance by unelected bureaucrats—protects our country and enhances democracy. pca.st/episode/9…

Will Ireland have a civil war before the USA and because of US?
Ireland is a good reminder that the self-appointed vanguard of the proletariat loves the proletariat mostly as an abstraction. Right now, actual workers in Ireland, truckers, farmers, and other fuel-dependent people, have been out disrupting roads, cities, and supply lines over …
-
In Ireland right now, truckers and farmers are blocking roads over fuel costs, and the self-appointed vanguard suddenly looks nervous. They love “the working class” until actual workers move without permission. Then it’s not solidarity. It’s crowd control.

There’s real fuckery around Virginia’s redistricting vote. This isn’t a normal reform question. It’s about whether Virginia should temporarily let the legislature redraw congressional maps mid-decade to answer partisan map changes elsewhere. YES changes the map now. NO keeps the current system.

Trump’s America ramps up threats and strikes on Iran, pushes things to the brink, then steps in with a ceasefire and calls it victory. Create the crisis, control the escalation, then take credit for the calm you engineered.

Yesterday was the best Taco Tuesday I’ve ever had. If “Trump Always Chickens Out” means threats cool off instead of turning into missiles, I’ll take tacos over war every time. Call it whatever you want—I call it not waking up to a headline about Iran being erased.
