@arpitrage @jburnmurdoch Robert D. "Bowling Alone" Putnam of Harvard studied low trust places around 2000 and found out it correlated closely with ethnic diversity. He said he covered that up for 5 years until he could think of a pro-diversity spin to put on it: https://t.co/TaGqwHQNS1

@PaleoMarxism @Dieselmann99 @sprachspiele @DreadYuNarukami @aimeeterese My view is that I disproved Steven "Freakonomics" Levitt's celebrated specific historical claim -- that legalizing abortion in the early 1970s lowered crime in the culled generation -- by showing that youths born in 1973-1978 were exceptionally homicidal due to the Crack Wars.

My review of Paul Thomas Anderson's entry in the L.A. nostalgia movie genre, "Licorice Pizza:" How does it compare to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"? https://www.takimag.com/article/licorice-pizza-local-boy-makes-good/

@NomadicQuantum @TheCountofMon20 @ElminsterD Lytton Strachey's "Eminent Victorians" emphasizes how much Florence Nightingale was a managerial and political prodigy who achieved substantial influence over British government policy on military health care.

@robinhanson Something I really like about Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus" is that even though it features an ultra-prestigious high culture figure in Mozart, the play is full of showbiz razz-ma-tazz like Anthony Shaffer's "Sleuth."

@mattyglesias In 1895, the British upper class was a lot taller than the proles. E.g., according to Barbara Tuchman's "The Proud Tower," Lord Salisbury's Tory Cabinet of 1895 averaged 6'0" in height, while the male electorate averaged no more than 5'7".

@FredSmith914 @AwBlessYerHeart Nah, Louisa May Alcott, author of "Little Women," was an extreme tomboy. Today, her leftist dad, whom Louisa satirized for his disastrous utopian socialist commune, would rename her "Louis" and put her on puberty blockers. https://t.co/AQjjW4Hnzf

@titusfilm @polanskydj I presume that the 1984 Terry Gilliam movie "Brazil" is Tom Stoppard's idea of what if the rightwinger Evelyn Waugh had written "1984" rather than the leftwinger George Orwell?

@MuggsMcRatmin @EdwardT67402509 @Huwro_Science @domigan @Dc8534 Environmentalist conservatism is traditional in Britain: Tolkien, Richard Adams' "Watership Down," Prince Philip and the World Wildlife Fund, etc etc.
