In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-yr-old son played tennis on the White House grounds w/o wearing socks. He got a blister and was dead from infection a week later.
This is unthinkable today—which is why I wrote this series. Cuz the systems that save us from this kind of fate are in urgent need of care.

For a yr, I've been working on a series for The New Atlantis about the vast systems that underlie our lives. Our ancestors built them up over decades to fend off hunger, thirst, darkness and disease. But too few of us know about them—and they're all at risk. The conclusion is now available online:
Why We Are Better Off Than a Century Ago
Our ancestors built grand public systems to conquer hunger, thirst, darkness, and squalor. That progress can be lost if we forget it.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Climate pragmatists have resigned to a half-hearted approach to minimizing global warming—but they are “downright oblivious to the implications of a 3 degrees–warmer world,” Peter Brannen argues.
Our Almost-Apocalyptic Climate Future
By shooting for 3 degrees Celsius of warming, the world could slide toward a more cataclysmic 4 degrees.

I can't stop hate-posting about Graeber's bureaucracy book, but it's so annoying! How are administrators supposed to reach people, if it's not via e-mails? What could they have done differently for this scenario not to arise?

Is David Graeber's grand anti-bureaucratic strategy just "let's be mean to students"?

Watched Frankenstein yesterday, and my hot take is that it's pretty bad. An adaptation shouldn't have substantially less to say than its source material, and in a less interesting way. That said, it really looks nice! And the actors are great

This two-part paper is so good and illuminating.
It's quite a bit frustrating that it will probably get less attention than the recent rather ideologically minded "take-downs" of analytic philosophy, even though it provides a much better attempt at actually examining its social history

I love how close this is to Rawls' conception of justice
Gandhi’s Talisman. Unfortunately for too many world leaders their doubts are dissolving in a way Gandhi did not anticipate.
!["I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test.
Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it?
Will it restore him [her to a control over his [her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:givg3amslsq46o3f25ga5esh/bafkreihph4ozfme2iadhcvg2jcexzemiif2xgxmhg2jexeknndhuhx2ewy@jpeg)
