The U.S. desperately needs a way to maintain social order beyond police & prisons

This is only possible, not paradoxically, if we overcome libertarian biases across the political spectrum

A good social order requires rules that are internalized and enforced, and tax-funded public goods & services

Not kidding. This is the type of research that keeps me so excited about science and innovation and why we should not be defunding science.

Ghislaine Maxwell to testify??

F*** that.
How about we just BELIEVE the testimony of the victims who have already come forward?

How about if we BELIEVE sexually victimized women and girls? Wouldn't that be amazing?

We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.
