Perhaps that’s why I find the character’s trials and tribulations so easy to relate to. That’s interesting that the author is a man who chose to tell that story on a female character. Last time we tried an Indian restaurant and it was a little awkward. A good location would be one that could fit 50+ people and have room for everybody to talk. David Friedman usually offers to host a meetup at his house, and I’ll probably take advantage of that, but still looking for a good location in the East Bay/Berkeley area. I’ve edited the post to include the recalculation. But Tumblr user fadingphilosophymiracle points out that private companies have lots of profits too, and that redistributing those as well could produce a basic income of $12,000/person, which sounds a lot more impressive. This was true of the book’s method, which only redistributed the profits of publicly-traded companies. A few years ago I reviewed A Future For Socialism and mentioned that the book’s suggestion of redistributing corporate profits as a basic income wasn’t enough – it would only provide about $6000 per person.
I feel the same way about the “randos in my Twitter mentions” complaint – too often it seems to take the form of A saying “Hey world, you should know that all Bulgarians are stupid and unemployed”, B coming in and saying “I’m a Bulgarian and find that offensive, here are statistics showing that Bulgarian test scores and employment rates are above average”, and A saying “Gross! Randos in my mentions!”ģ. I am saying “people should be careful about saying controversial things in inflammatory ways”, but the sealioning essay seems more like “Given that I have said a controversial thing in an inflammatory way, people should not respond and set the record straight”. This was originally brought up in the subreddit as similar to my Against Interminable Arguments post, but I agree with both commenters that they’re very different. Comments of the week are Anonymous on Ubers and taxis, and Zaxlebaxes and Telmid on sealioning. Any suggestions for interesting or surprising recent (in the last year or two) psychiatry-related journal articles I might present?Ģ. I’m going to be running a psychiatry journal club at my clinic in a few weeks. Post about anything you want, ask random questions, whatever.
