conservatives relentlessly cram positions with ideologues - to the point of hard right poster, Gray Connolly, on AAT.
But then small l liberal progressives wring hands about jobs for the boys and prevent anything similar on the left side. This asymmetry accumulates and entrenches the right.

The Journal Of Bad Ideas sounds like a joke but when you think about it would be incredibly valuable
I found out that something doesn't work very well. In the interest of not burying it so that someone else goes down this rabbit hole again, maybe I will try to write a paper.

Given probability’s origins in the study of gambling (a martingale was originally a betting strategy, etc) it’s honestly surprising that Australia hasn’t produced more probabilists
Agreed. Kids love games and games are where we first start to learn about probability

For all the understandable criticism of COPs & the need for more ambitious emissions reductions, the fact projected global warming has gone from towards 4°C or more to about 2.3–2.5°C now really should be mentioned more often to highlight that global progress is being made & can be built upon
“Widespread international support for the Australia-Pacific bid to host next year’s climate negotiations did not translate into a clear win,” writes Ryan Neelam in The Interpreter.

the actual suicide of the West will be combining a rapidly aging population with hostility to migrants. however we must give credit to East Asia, especially Japan, for pioneering this model.

ALSO PLANNERS: Hold my beer while I reason from a price change
Responding to our 'More homes, better cities' Grattan report, Professor Nicole Gurran wrote that our plan to boost housing supply needed a 'reality check' in part because 'building completions fall when prices stagnate'. Here's why that argument misses the mark. 🧵

Left-wing NIMBYism is the most depressing NIMBYism. After guns and drugs, housing is the #3 most tightly regulated market in Australia. To look at the current pile of policy failures and blame “the free market” takes a huge amount of motivated self-delusion

I've long criticised the dehumanising and patriarchal partner income test embedded everywhere in the Australian welfare state. The tax on love really does hurt families, and has a real impact on relationship formation or termination.
