"Tyler and Joel discuss European corporations vs. Chinese clans, why the Catholic Church became obsessed with cousin-marriage, how persistent cultural trends really are, why Chinese cities became so populous relative to Europe, why it took so long for European living standards to surpass China’s, [...] how disruptive winning a Nobel is, and much more."

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @Chigaze @PapyrusBrigade
Is there a similar phenomenon with extreme left-wingers swamping comment sections at the Toronto Star, let's say? I rarely read comments (other than at #MarginalRevolution) — there's not much value-added. -

"This is not a secret. It has been documented by the New York Fed, by Beth Akers, by basically anyone who has looked at the data without an ax [sic] to grind. But the affordability discourse cannot metabolize the finding, because the finding implies that the standard policy menu—more aid, more forgiveness—is the cause of the problem, not the solution."
The essay describes similar phenomena in American healthcare and housing.

#MattYglesias: "Trump’s under-appreciated masterstroke is that by demonstrating to the Iranians that they can successfully deter aggression by closing the Strait of Hormuz, he’s greatly reduced the incentive to actually build a nuclear weapon as opposed to just a ton of cheap drones." | nitter

"Sao Paulo as a city is much improved. The murder rate has plummeted, and the nice neighborhoods are very nice and are growing in size. The business community is strong, interesting architecture abounds, and there is a real arts scene. It is arguably Latin America’s number one city, with only Mexico City as a rival. It has, along with Mexico City, evolved into a “must know” global city, though it is rarely treated that way by outsiders."

A number two comment on #MarginalRevolution: "So many writings about Proust disproportionately discuss the first book, the first page, the first sentence. It would be interesting to see a chart of where people who take up the book stop reading."

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.)
