#Marvel:
“#Safespace […] can create forcefields, but he can only trigger them if he's protecting somebody else. #Snowflake is #non-binary and goes by they/them, and has the power to generate individual crystalized snowflake-shaped shurikens. […] A post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying.”
Post-ironic indeed!

Los mejores análisis políticos de #EEUU en #español siempre vienen de #RogerSenserrich, «egocrata», a través de #Politikon. El último:

Apparently, this did happen. Too hilarious.

Just listened to the last episode of the #MakingSense podcast. Quite a few interesting ideas there.
I disagree with a bunch. eg, I don't understand how #taxes (which are compulsory) could be called “solidarity” (which is voluntary by definition). And I'd remind #DanielMarkovits & #SamHarris that some #billionaires donate very little, or to irrelevant or self-aggrandizing causes — but that many others are in fact effective altruist.
On the positive, this conversation will make me question the merits of our meritocracy (pun intended), which doesn't seem to work as well as I assumed. And I think it'll help me find arguments to support my growing intuition that a cap on extreme individual #wealth may be morally justified and socially beneficial (I mean a 100% marginal tax rate for wealth above $10B or the like, ie affecting the truly super-rich only).
