Douthat is at his very best in this exchange with @bryan_johnson. His very best. Johnson: “The absolute highest expression of virtue is that intelligent life chooses to preserve intelligent life above all other objectives.” Douthat: “Somebody once said, greater love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friends… Historically, the central part of that sacrifice has been a willingness to not always die, but take risks of death so that others might live… That’s what women do when they bear children. It’s what men do when they go to war… What are you willing to die for, Bryan?” Please, @60Minutes, do not squander @DouthatNYT. We need him!!!

@rBillSimmonsPod The episode was sponsored by Mazda, and in it Bill brags that driving with me is always riding with peace of mind. This is actually statistically proven, as game theory has shown us, driving with seat belts creates less risk and more accidents.

Fun chart: LLM study of how western values have changed in the last 2,000 years, based on an analysis of 23,000 books. It's striking that while some values rise and fall over the millennia, "Indulgence"— defined as freedom from rigid social control and a preference for fun and gratification against restraint and asceticism—is higher than ever, having basically increased steadily since the 1500s.

Everyone from Weber to Mokyr puts culture at the center of the rise of the West. But nobody has had a long-run cultural series you could drop into a growth model. So I built one: LLMs read 23,000 books from the Western canon, scoring what each endorses. Year 0–1920, one chart:

@longhunter09 Alternatively, could stop in Damascus, VA and do the Virginia Creeper Trail, a rails to trails experience. They do shuttles up to the top of Iron mountain, the you ride all downhill, could be great with kids

@longhunter09 Stop in Waynesville. Great little Main Street. Go to Haywood Smokehouse then hit Wall Street books.

@serraotweets @longhunter09 I only spent one night driving from St Louis to DC. Aesthetically, buildings are very well preserved. Several friendly locals willing to chat with us. But some desperate looking people. Homeless guy followed us around asking for money then cursed me out.

@longhunter09 All the beautiful old houses are on Washington street. Walk to the top of the hill. Baltimore street has what used to be a thriving Main Street but still beautiful old architecture.

Great read from @lou_keep on why, even though everyone is richer than ever before, people are still miserable and hate “capitalism”. It all has to do with social ties. The economy is never just the economy.

@The_DC_Bob Trae shot below 35% from 3 for 5 of his 8 seasons. One of the worst defenders in the nba. All his team mates have hated playing with him. He averaged 4 turnovers every season. Brunson another high usage PG averages 1.5 - 2.5. Hawks have been better without him.
