Happy Inauguration Day!

Quote:The dead hand of gerontocracy is also a symptom of ideological malaise. ... In a post, the political analyst Lakshya Jain listed some startling facts showing just how sharply elected Democrats skew towards the elderly: Three of the 215 House Democrats have died this year, all from states that Trump won (TX/AZ) or have a Republican Governor (TX/VA). Six House Democrats have died since April 2024. The last eight House members to die in office have been Democrats, going back to 2022. I think the question here is whether we realize that this is simply not a coincidence—it’s the result of decisions made regarding seniority and running for re-election. One last point: 11 of the 14 House members over 80 are Democrats.

Quote: Relying on the "honor system," the report highlights how corporations fund their own safety studies which government agencies use to base approvals upon. Conversely, public tax dollars fund but a small portion of the total research dollars spent on chronic childhood diseases—further "exacerbated" by the revolving door between regulatory agencies, and the corporations they're supposed to regulate.

Quote: One technique I teach is called “gray rocking”: refusing to feed the narcissist’s need for drama, attention or emotional reactivity. Gray rocking means becoming sturdy and repetitive — not reactive or maximalist — a boring target for someone addicted to power. Reacting with hyperbole or hysteria only emboldens narcissists. Deny them the fuel they seek. This is hard work. But it’s how an abuser loses power.

Up until I was around 10 years old we were all getting plenty of lead in our lungs and losing about 10 to 20 IQ points on average for it. Not only that, but all that increased lead levels we've been walking around with from all that leaded gasoline we were poisoning ourselves with, we're all quite a bit more aggressive than we otherwise would be too. (The flip side of that is believing that maybe the boys actually need a little more lead in their diets with what we've been breeding the last 20 or so years... amiright?) Oh... and don't forget about DuPont shoving all those Teflon atoms in our bodies and sticking them there for safe keeping for the rest of our lives too. That's a big one.

Quote:Originally posted by second: The Economic Consequences of Destroying Harvard By Paul Krugman | May 26, 2025 at 5:36 AM https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-economic-consequences-of-destroying from https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19830859 Cultural Revolution photos Harvard is easy to dislike. It’s rich. It’s elitist. It rejected my application back when I was a high school senior. But the Trumpist effort to destroy Harvard and other elite universities — for that is clearly their intention — will do vast damage to our nation’s future. The most important aspect of this campaign of intimidation and disruption is, of course, the attack on freedom of thought. I hope that nobody actually believes the MAGA line that universities are indoctrinating their students in wokeness, DEI, Marxism, whatever. The real complaint, obviously, is that these institutions aren’t indoctrinating their students — that they are exposing young people to a variety of ideas and encouraging them to think for themselves, when they should be preaching right-wing dogma and obedience to whatever The Leader says they should believe. Given this terrifying reality of the Trumpian war on learning, indeed on scientific thought itself, it may seem crass to examine the economic consequences of the attacks on higher education. Yet it’s important to understand that these consequences will also be disastrous – both for the current economy and for the economy’s long-term future. Harvard is a major U.S. exporter. The foreign students that the Trump administration is trying to ban usually pay their own tuition — money that shows up as a credit in the US trade balance. But arguably the much larger issue is that Harvard is a crucial element within the Greater Boston economy. This regional economy is one of the crown jewels of the U.S. economy, one of the most important generators of high incomes, specialized knowledge and innovation. Metropolitan economies are always more than the sum of their parts. Businesses clump together, forming a metropolitan economy, because their positive interactions create an industrial ecology of mutually reinforcing strengths, usually built around some kind of core competence. One famous example is the San Francisco Bay Area, a nexus of global leadership in digital technology. Another is Greater New York, the world’s leading financial center. What is so special about Greater Boston? The economy of Greater Boston can seem confusing, because its world-beating sectors look quite different from each other on the surface. First, there are the schools: Colleges and universities employ 87,000 people in the Greater Boston area, accounting for a far higher share of employment than they do in America as a whole. Second, there’s a world-class medical complex, treating patients from around the world and also training many of the world’s top doctors. Third, Greater Boston is a leading player in both AI and “tough tech,” which emphasizes how information interacts with the physical world. Fourth, Greater Boston is the world’s leading biotech hub. What do all these activities have in common? The answer, surely, is that they’re all linked by intellectual curiosity, rigorous thinking, scientific discipline, and an openness to new ideas. All of these qualities engender an openness to the very best talent around the world – students, researchers and entrepreneurs. Moreover, all of the parts are mutually supporting: the intellectual ferment within the universities and medical complex is a prime source of business innovation, and business success brings financial support and acclaim for the schools. Harvard is by no means the dominant player in this intellectual and economic universe. It may not even be the most important player. At a guess M.I.T. has, in a direct sense, been a larger incubator of new businesses than its neighbor two miles up Massachusetts Ave. But M.I.T. wouldn’t be what it is without Harvard nearby, and vice versa. The same goes for the dozens of other fine universities in the area, and the hundreds — probably thousands — of businesses nearby. The hospitals and the medical research are part of the same ecosystem. So destroying Harvard, even if the campaign against intellectualism stopped there — which it wouldn’t — would be like pulling a crucial piece out of a Jenga tower. The odds are that the whole structure of the Greater Boston education and innovation ecosystem would collapse. Consequently, America would lose all that Greater Boston does to advance and enrich our nation. I should also note that Harvard doesn’t just educate many of the children of America’s elite. It also educates the children of elites around the world; that is, if Trump doesn’t prevent them coming to America. One may have mixed feelings about that role, but the reality is that Harvard is an important pillar in the edifice of American soft power. Do MAGA types understand how much damage their campaign against universities will do to American prosperity and power? Probably not. But I suspect that it wouldn’t matter if they did. From their point of view, making America poorer, weaker and sicker is an acceptable price for keeping the nation suitably ignorant.
