Opinionated harpy. Critical, including of whatever your political affiliation is because I make up my own mind on issues. I don't like blind tribalism. Neoliberalism is extremism. Feminism, economics, law, geopolitics, philosophy, books, degrowth.
I'm blown away by the skill of that photographer. Every time I see one of these photos I'm reminded of how impressed I am. Absolutely incredible.
And their failure to engage in paradigm shifts. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/the-thinki...
Almost feels like the Iranians are directly responding to US news and media and markets with this - as if they saw the conspicuous underreaction too and thought “no, we need to demonstrate how easy this is for us”

Research sleuths are starting to organize, but the field, and the people, remain idiosyncratic — my latest for @cenmag.bsky.social:

CBC's @jaymepoisson.bsky.social dropped an amazing interview with a Tehran resident this morning. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...
Politicians & economists in their 70s & 80s are running the world's most powerful country. Some are outright delusional about the state of the world. That holds for a lot of fields. If they can't keep up, they must yield the stage to more agile thinkers. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/bringing-a...
And that's Mr. "Weapons-of-mass-destruction," "mission-accomplished" himself.
Politicians and economists in their 70s and 80s are running the world's most powerful country. Some of them are outright delusional about the state of the world and geopolitics. That holds for many other fields too. If they can't keep up, it's time for them to yield the stage to more agile thinkers.
I'm sure that's true for a lot of fields. But also, we're facing a cascade of global catastrophes; we're out of time for convincing adherents & waiting for certain paradigm shifts to occur. There are good reasons for dissenting voices to lose patience. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/bringing-a...
And if there is, can we just give those people a sandwich?
That's the neat part: even they don't know!
"We've had conversations about what we can do, both large and small, in Nunavut—large projects, but also helping everyone get ahead," says Prime Minister Mark Carney as he welcomes former NDP MP for Nunavut, Lori Idlout, to the Liberal caucus.

Look at that cat-that-ate-the-canary face. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
Yes! Let's please amplify voices calling for supply-side heterodox solutions to the crises we're facing. No more treating status-quo voices like they're the adult, serious option. They had their chance and look where that got us. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/bringing-a...
I said, supply-side heterodox solutions to economic problems and global crises!

I agree that LLMs are technically amazing, and incredibly useful, as stochastic parrots. I also agree that they can't actually conceptualize and reason, and I think the debate over whether they're "AI" is blinding us to the risks that presents. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/the-thinki...
We have to stop treating status-quo voices like they're the adult, serious perspective. The status quo is a global catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. Time for a paradigm shift: amplify dissent. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/bringing-a...
Linking a real-people non-American voice: This morning a Canadian journalist with the CBC dropped a fantastic interview with a Tehran resident. Iran cut off its citizens' Internet access when the war started so it's been hard to get news & reactions from Iran. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...
Look how dumb some people are though. Just look at them. Really. For a certain population, literally anything, any long form reading at all, could be a massive improvement.
Mojtaba’s main support within the regime comes from this intelligence organization, which has been in charge of the country’s affairs since the start of the protests in January 2026. iranwire.com/en/news/1502...
Same as it ever was.
Trump probably does this so they can barely walk. That way he looks agile in comparison. It's like the tug-of-war handshake thing.
Politically controversial things can have right & wrong sides. We're facing global catastrophe & our trajectory is unsustainable: it's time for a paradigm shift in economics & academia. Stop taking orthodox voices more seriously than disruptive ones. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/bringing-a...
Reason # 9,343,556,081 to have a whole paradigm shift about how our civilization functions, right down at its foundations.

Iran has been offline for 12 days straight so it's hard to get news about how they're experiencing the strike on the school and the war in general. This morning CBC dropped a fantastic interview with a Tehran resident. Highly recommend. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...
Iran has been offline for twelve days straight. News out of Tehran is so difficult to get. We want their voices back in our global conversations. This CBC interview with a Tehran resident is a relief and a gift despite the terror and darkness he reports. Thank you, Jayme Poisson at Front Burner!
Yes, it's time to take disruptive ideas way more seriously. No more promoting what we used to think of as "adult" and "serious" voices. They're backward dinosaurs. There's nothing inevitable about the status quo. fanningslongview.substack.com/p/bringing-a...
