  • Do We Need To Move Beyond Party Based Politics?

    No. Countries with more parties produce more consistent policy.

  • What Have Political Scientists Learned About How To Actually Change People’s Views?

    You can’t. Our moral intuitions reflect (necessarily) our reproductive strategy. We vote our genes. We never really change political preferences unless the current voting cycle can be reduced to a single policy issue.

  • Why Do We Have Rights?

    We don’t. We only aspire to create them. And we rarely do. Because we will not pay for them with the necessary obligations.

  • In Looks Are White Women At A Disadvantage To Latino Women?

    The data says that white men will prefer chasing latino women over white women because they perceive them as ‘easier’ and less ‘arrogant’.

  • Why Is The Quality Of Quora Degrading?

    Because Quora pays teams in India to fabricate nonsense questions repeating popular themes. It’s the Quora equivalent of Gawker’s clickbait.

  • How Would Donald Trump Have Acted And Reacted In This Campaign If He Were Calmer And More Reasonable?

    He would have lost early on.

    The public is done with the status quo.

    We are throwing the bums out so to speak.

  • Is 93k A Good Income To Live In Bellevue, Wa?

    It’s an ‘average’ income for an individual and below average for a family. Bellevue is among the top three cities in America to live in – in part because it never had an industrial center, and no black (or other underclass) immigration. So you pay for it. The prices in the ‘green zone’ keep the riff-raff out. Bellvue is home to 200K family incomes and above. The only exceptions are the ‘old’ areas on the east side near I-90. Expect to pay twice what you’d expect for a lousy home. Expect to pay less at the top of the market.

    Why? Microsoft gave more of its profits to employees than any company in history, and may have given more to its employees than all companies in history combined. Those days are gone but that’s what created bellevue.

    So it’s a nice place to live – when it’s not raining.
    It’s always raining.

  • What Does The Voter Rights Act And The Civil Rights Act Contain That The 14th And 15th Amendments Didn’t Cover?

    The 14th and 15th were disasters that were as bad or worse than the war itself.
    The 60’s legislation implemented reverse discrimination.
    Societies work when you just use rule of law and leave people alone to sort the way they want to.

    Both were catastrophes
