@kjhealy I can never remember which is the motte and which is the bailey. I was genuinely unsure which people you were saying were getting too much praise and I appreciate the clarification. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy Again, if you say these ideas are uncontroversial that’s great. I’m glad. — PolitiTweet.org

What’s Ron DeSantis’ view on federal abortion policy? Does he think people from Deep South states should be free to travel across state lines to get abortions in Florida? I don’t think you have to be a super-wonk to be curious about these questions. https://t.co/cBqKOgtIfE — PolitiTweet.org

@kjhealy Who specifically do you have in mind as receiving undo credit (from who?) while spending too much time on paperclips? — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy So you say. What I say is that huge sums of philanthropic resources are flowing to causes that are clearly worse than fighting malaria and I wish some of them would switch and fight malaria if that’s actually uncontroversial. — PolitiTweet.org

@CineraVerinia I think the fact that donating $15 billion to Cornell Business School is *obviously not* optimal means it’s not seen as threatening anyone’s status or starting any interesting arguments. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now we have an unfortunate tendency to subject people who claim to be doing something really important to harsher scrutiny than the people just cutting checks to their alma mater. It would be good to just urge everyone to be a bit more generous and a bit thoughtful. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@alon_levy That is one problem — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In the real world, huge sums of philanthropic resources are plowed into causes that reflect basically zero good faith effort to do the most good in the world. Changing these norms to “at least try a little” could have tremendous benefits. https://t.co/hJzqv6KkyT https://t.co/CuqDaiFCGN — PolitiTweet.org

For debate purposes you can always construct hard hypotheticals — is it better to produce a 50% cut in the risk of an India-Pakistan nuclear exchange, a 5% cut in the risk of an extinction-level pandemic, or a 90% cut in world poverty. But do we actually face these choices? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The vast majority of us will run out of useful things we can do on any given existential risk threat long before we run out of time or material resources that can be devoted to finding ways to do good. https://t.co/hJzqv6KkyT — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a case that the philosophical heavy artillery is needed to generate strong conclusions about prioritization but for most people I don’t think these priority debates amount to much. https://t.co/hJzqv6KkyT https://t.co/xgMb0CxLSJ — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think the first-order claims made by the longtermist community — “look, here’s some big threats to the future of humanity!” — tend to be more compelling than the philosophical arguments about longtermism. https://t.co/hJzqv6KkyT — PolitiTweet.org

I think the mental habit of saying it’s okay to do things that don’t really make sense because they good for “organizing” leads to bad places. Organize people on behalf of something good1 — PolitiTweet.org

“That your party is led by an inept, impulsive, criminally inclined man, who is viewed negatively by most voters, who cares very little about whether your party wins elections or achieves policy goals … is your problem — one largely of your own making” https://t.co/Nw2W0KX3L0 — PolitiTweet.org

Respect that Cheney went down swinging instead of slinking away in retirement like so many other Trump skeptics among her colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org

More seriously isn’t representing Donald Trump in a criminal inquiry exactly what the whole Dershowitz plotline has been building up to? If not what was the point of putting all that Martha’s Vineyard stuff in. — PolitiTweet.org

In the Munich area, the U-Bahn is run by a city agency the S-Bahn is run by the national railroad company, and there are all kinds of different bus companies operating. But the MVV creates an integrated fare and payment system from the point of view of the rider. https://t.co/9zqq4LNSSS — PolitiTweet.org

What America really needs is a version of the German fare union (verkehrsverbund) concept as a means to integrate service provided by distinct agencies. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a pro bigness account so I’m happy to report that my 7YO is really enjoying his Kids Paperwhite with the Amazon Kids subscription library of books. Very much recommended for young readers and parents who don’t want their house cluttered with dozens of Dog Man volumes. — PolitiTweet.org

@DemocraticLuntz @SpecialPuppy1 Republicans will win the WV Senate seat, but Democrats will make it up in a massive realignment sparked by running a Manchin-Kelly ticket in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

My preferred bespoke indicator, aggregate private wages, continues to run very hot which I think should keep rent growth robust. https://t.co/4IZ9q1jHM7 — PolitiTweet.org

@robertwiblin Yes but what if I told you that you had to choose between publicly endorsing a series of wildly counterintuitive ethical conclusions about hypothetical situations or else allowing 100 million people to each suffer the pain of a stubbed toe? — PolitiTweet.org
