This is why I always told my students to avoid the passive voice. It's a way of disguising a bullshit claim by presenting it as if it has wide agreement: "It has been known"
US conservatism is not really conservative. It's reactionary politics labeled as conservative because doing so makes it more palatable to voters. This has been known since at least the 1970s.

Dean Martin, whose real name was Dino Paul Crocetti, didn’t even start speaking English until he went to school. Italian immigrants were despised, often “Americanizing” their names and hiding who they really were to enjoy any amount of success. Miller would have people hiding who they are again.

Measles didn’t just “come back.”
2024: 285 U.S. cases
2025: 2,000+ cases — nearly 7× higher
This is what happens when science is undermined and anti-vaccine lies spread. Measles was eliminated. We are choosing to bring it back.

Big "yes" to this, which I sketched in my last book. Pleonexia (insatiable greed) is relentless for its victims. The Book of Ecclesiastes offer a lovely metaphor for this -- "chasing the wind" (trying to grasp something that can never be attained).
Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.

It’s how Google allowed themselves to turn into AltaVista.
They won the search engine wars by reducing entropy- first result was usually what you wanted, rarely needed page 2.
Now you can wade through hundreds of pages and not get what you were looking for.
And LLMs are entropy generators.

Hey, Mr. Cuban.
Oncologist here.
The entirety of cancer care, including diagnostics, surgery, medications, and treatment of complications can often exceed $100,000 dollars.
And many people with CURABLE cancer decide to forgo treatment fearing the cost to their families.
The system is immoral.
