But only one of them gets to choose.

Apparently someone I care about thinks I’m a racist.
Look, I have a job. That job is the truth. I don’t get an opinion about the truth. That’s a luxury you have. It’s not
one I have. I write law. Constitutional law.
Do you want a judge to have an opinion, or to adjudicate the law by the truth? I work from the truth whether I like it or not. And there are many truths I have discovered that I do not care for. But that’s my job. And someone has to do it.
As a person, I care that you’re moral, kind, and of good manners. As an entrepreneur, you’re all green – I can either make money with you or not. As a philosopher of jurisprudence I depend on the science.
Why? Because my goal is to prevent lies in public, to the public, in matters public, particularly from the government, academy, and media. Why that goal? Because we cannot use the government as a market for cooperation between sexes, classes, and ethnicities unless we work from the truth.
Why? Because the truth is that sexes, classes, and ethnicities do not need ‘one size fits all’, which is eitehr exclusionary or a race to the bottom. We need what suits our developmental differences until we are capable of equal participation according to our abilities.
If you think there is a more moral objective then you’re wrong.
So I will state the painful truth about the differences between sexes classes and ethnicities, and most importantly cultures – because cultures are the source of our problems – not so much our genes.
Would I prefer to live in a homogenous culture in england or scandinavia or northeastern america? Of course. Would most of us prefer to have the opportunity for a mixed culture urban environment either when young or when seeking novelty? Of course. Would I prefer to live with other technology ceos or other public intellectuals, and not people of classes with whom I do not share anything at all other than moral conviction? Of course.
But that doesn’t affect my judgement as an author of law. And it doesn’t affect my behavior in treating all people with respect and kindness and care whenever possible. Nor does it prevent me from, when necessary, stating the painful truth to prevent us from conflict, or to prohibit public servants from lying to us with reckless abandon under the presumption than they know better than the people. (they don’t)
Cheers

Correct. Libertarianism is the ghetto ethics of teh pale of settlement: parasitism on the commons produced by others without paying for that commons with either behavior or contribution.

(Not that mike needs me to confirm anything he says. 😉 )

(NLI)
Well you know, it’s not like I treat the NLI staff any different than those in the for-profit’s I’ve founded or run. I’m just trying to advance them so they can divide the labor (and it works). If we can get you involved you can learn the material. If you can learn the material you can make a presentation. If you can make a presentation you can learn to write. If you can learn to write you can publish. If you can publish you can establish yourself as an authority. As an authority who has mastered the material you can answer questions, refute criticisms, and compose solutions.
Easy.
See?

Do you ever get old enough that you don’t cut yourself by accident with a knife? (sigh) 🙁

(Monarchical Wonders)
It turns out that people around the world know some of the horses of the King’s Guard by name – and which of them is most likely to take a bit out of you.
As someone who has experience with horses, and of course, who was raised properly, I have a hard time comprehending how ‘privileged’ (arrogant) are tourists from different cultures (we won’t name the obvious).
Secret: an apple, carrot, or sugar cube does wonders – and never touch the reins.

OMG, Crime went up because of BLM and ANTIFA. It’s not coming down. Cities aren’t reporting.

The difference Julie, is that emotions about people vs emotions about policy and direction. The problem is, women do the first in absurd numbers.

Of course. In 2020 we kept our numbers to under 500, but we could have organized 1M. The people have gone silent on social media. But that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away, or changed their opinion.
