Interesting conversation recently in the comments at #MarginalRevolution about whether it's rational to consider #prostitution to be repugnant: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/05/repugnant-economics.html ; Prof. Tabarrok suggests that it isn't.
As usual, I think Sure has a lot of wisdom.
(This is, to be clear, a different question than if or how society ought to regulate prostitution.)

In "The world turned upside down" Searle related this conversation with Foucault about Derrida:
'Michel Foucault once characterized Derrida’s prose style to me as “obscurantisme terroriste.” The text is written so obscurely that you can’t figure out exactly what the thesis is (hence “obscurantisme“) and then when one criticizes it, the author says, “Vous m’avez mal compris; vous êtes un idiot” (hence “terroriste“)."
