The billionaire malaise ends in tracing the source of value back to memes

Sleeby wives club. Growing up an only child (with additional sperg traits) set my husband up perfectly for vacationing w the chronically ill 💀

“What do you lose by starring it out” feels right

Ben

Claremont is pretty far from LA, but it is extremely close to some great mountains to hike.

Seems to me like the slave vs slave owner is an easy question. You pick slave owner, and then immediately free your slaves

Otto Laakso

Was Katy Perry's anti-femboy anthem Ur So Gay a formative influence on teenage Liz or was there just something in the air in the late aughts

If we accept the limit of "own slaves", "be slave", we probably would have been a slave owner. One of the constant complaints of slave owners prior to emancipation is that they thought emancipation would turn them into slaves. I'm guessing that most slaves did not think emancipation would turn them into slave owners. Surprisingly, it turns out that there is a third option (don't answer the poll).

Matt, get yourself some Darn Tough socks to avoid blisters

Eagerly anticipating the Matt Bruenig treatise on The New Masculinity

That’s what I wore. The blister was in the heel where my trail runners don’t even touch but these old boots I had did

Liz drop your weed setup #Blazeit

Or the actual historical third option, which is "be one of the vast majority who were neither". I feel like a major limitation on Callard's thinking is that she can only imagine herself on one side or the other of the master's table, discoursing with the aristoi or serving them, when almost everyone was a swineherd or something.

I would love for yous two to elaborate on why exactly Matt was thought to be a potential school shooter/criminal. The antics that have been shared seem rather tame so was it just the lack of friends?

Christian Hunt

Red flag among the reading young men is if they have that Marcus Aurelius on the bookshelf.

Mr. Mike Man

(Dracula voice) Ten, heh heh, TEN New York Times n-words! Heh heh

Sam

I want to hear more from Matt about the mysticism of words.

Richard

I haven't read Plato in Greek, but if it's anything like reading Virgil in Latin... you might have to learn some Greek to really get it!

Richard

Like Liz says in the ep, she's just reframing the old Socrates arg (better to be wronged than to do wrong), which is relevant no matter who you are, imo.

Bourbachi

Literally the next thing I see after this is "Norovirus Spreading in Northeast"

It's been a while since I picked up a copy of Plato's Dialogues, but didn't Plato/Socrates think that slavery was just a natural fact of existence? e.g. "slave / free" is a category that is effectively determined, not a matter of choice -- i.e. neither good, nor bad. The poll question just strikes me as a poorly conceived, false-binary regardless of whether it is being asked in the context of the present, the United States in the 1860s or Athens in 400 BC.

I am an LA bruhead who can you hook up w all things hiking, weed, treats. Been waiting for this moment

2 things that will prevent 100% of blisters: 1) apply leukotape before - it's like giving yourself an extra layer of super-tough skin, and it sticks like nothing else, and 2) double layer socks (thin inner layer) to mostly eliminate skin friction

The casual JQ jokes aren't funny

KMB24

Tummy bug season has been rough here too

Azmarino

Have u guys seen Ackman’s wife?! R there none among u sympathetic to the position a man may tweet as he like provided he wife’d a baddie? We’re talking “tempting Augustine from the bosom of his God” level hotness!

Tom Smith

Matt as hillbilly Platonist.

Richard

That sounds a lot like Aristotle's discussion of slavery in his Politics. I don't think Plato ever really addressed slavery as such. But again - it's not really about slavery!

Azmarino

Forget that now Mrs Bruenig! Whilst gaming I played the pod out loud and my mother overheard your voice, she described it as “Gorgeous”. Rejoice!! You’ve never been more back than this!!!!!🎉🎉🥳🍾🍾

AR

I am a Claremont Colleges alumn and wish I was still in California so I could see you at CMC. They've had some really interesting debates there in the past. Enjoy your time in SoCal :)

By convention are sweet and bitter, hot and cold, by convention is colour; in truth are atoms and the void and my opinions

I would have asked the poet to recite the poems on one of NYT's audio productions
